How to update the version of a Bedrock server¶

This guide is for Bedrock dedicated servers. The goal is to update the server files to the latest official release, or to align the server version with the client version in use.

Method 1: Manual update with the official files¶

1. Download the official files¶

1. Open Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Download.
2. Download the Ubuntu or Linux package suitable for the Bedrock dedicated server.

2. Upload to the panel¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your Bedrock server.
3. Go to Files.
4. Upload the newly downloaded zip file.

3. Extract the files¶

1. Click the three-dot menu on the zip file.
2. Choose Unarchive.
3. Wait for the extraction to finish.

4. Restart and check the console¶

1. Go back to Console.
2. Restart the server.
3. Make sure the server boots normally, with no missing-file or dependency errors.

Method 2: Via the Startup variable¶

If the NexusCloud egg provides a Bedrock Version variable, you can:

1. Open the Startup menu.
2. Change Bedrock Version to the available version you want.
3. Reinstall the server if the egg's workflow actually requires it.
4. Restart the server.

Important notes¶

• Do not delete resource_packs or behavior_packs unless there is a clear compatibility issue.
• Errors like client outdated or server outdated usually mean the client and server versions are out of sync.
• Bedrock's official documentation notes that minor or patch mismatches can cause the connection to be rejected.

If players cannot join after the update¶

• Make sure the Bedrock client version matches.
• Check for incompatible addons or packs.
• Look at the latest error in the console.
• If needed, roll back using a backup.
