Choose Minecraft server software // NodeFlux Docs

Select an available Java server engine from the NodeFlux manager software library. ## Steps 1. Deploy or open a Minecraft Java service in the NodeFlux manager. 2. Open the service software selector or library before starting a new server. 3. Choose the available engine that fits your project, such as Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, or a supported mod loader. 4. Choose a game version that matches your plugins, mods, and players. 5. Install the selection, then start the service and read the first startup log for version errors. ## Notes - The software library can change as supported engines and versions are updated. - Paper and Purpur use plugins; Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric use mods. They are not interchangeable. ## Warning Back up your world before changing server software or game version. A change can require a different set of files and may make an old world incompatible.
