Install Serversoftware
Learn how to install or update a Paper server on your game server.
Install or Update Paper
You can easily install or update your server to Paper by replacing the current server files with the Paper server jar.
1. Remove Existing Server Files
Open the file manager of your server and delete the existing server files.
This ensures there are no conflicting files from previous installations.
Warning
Deleting files will remove your existing server setup.
If you want to keep your worlds, plugins, or configuration files, make sure to create a backup before deleting anything.
2. Download Paper
Go to the official Paper download page:
Download the .jar file for the Minecraft version you want to run.
3. Upload the Server File
Upload the downloaded .jar file to your server using the file manager or an FTP client.
After uploading, rename the file to:
server.jar
Note
Your server start configuration expects the main server file to be named server.jar.
If the file has a different name, the server may fail to start.
4. Restart the Server
Restart your server from the dashboard.
Once the server starts, it will automatically run the uploaded server.jar.
Success
If everything was done correctly, your server will now start using Paper.
