# 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.

!!! warning "Before you start"
    Back up your world first. Server updates can affect addons, behavior packs, or resource packs that are not yet compatible.

## Manual update with the official files

### Download the official files

1. Open [Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Download](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock).
2. Download the **Ubuntu** or Linux package suitable for the Bedrock dedicated server.

!!! info "Note"
    The official Linux Bedrock dedicated server is distributed as a `.zip` file that you then extract on the server.

### 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.

### Extract the files

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

### 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.

## Via the Startup variable

If the 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.

## 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- Errors like client outdated or server outdated usually mean the client and server versions are out of sync.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.
