Server Configuration
Paper Version
PaperChunk uses Paper, a high-performance fork of Spigot. You can change the Paper version from the server dashboard:
- Go to your server page
- In the Paper JAR section, select the desired Minecraft version
- Click Download to install it
- Restart the server
Important: Changing Minecraft versions may break existing plugins. Always check plugin compatibility before upgrading.
