The .jar file version works too, as long as you are running a version of Windows.

Question

I cant find my Minecraft server folder on my computer. What can I do?

Community Answer

You have to make one, as it is not made for you. If you have already made one and you can't find it, search for it in Finder or click on the Windows button and enter its name.

How do I change back to version 1.7.10 on Linux from version 1.8?

Community Answer

You can't downgrade unless you saved the earlier version's files when the upgrade came out.

Question

When I try to run the server, it starts and then it closes on its own. Any help?

CaptianYaya

Community Answer

Right click the batch file you tried opening the server with, then click "Edit." Delete the number in minecraft.1.12.1.jar or whatever version number you have so it changes to minecraft.jar and then save the file. Then go to your server folder. Rename the .jar file to minecraft.jar and save it. It should work now!

Question

This worked just fine, but everything I had built in the nether was deleted. Is there some way to get that back?

Community Answer

If you backed up everything, then your just replace your nether world with the backed-up nether. If you have the plugin multiverse, you can add it as an additional world and in-game do "/mv import nether".
