## Understanding the Version Changer

You can change or downgrade your Minecraft server version directly from the game panel — no need to contact support.

## How to Change Your Version

- Log into your Pterodactyl game panel
- Select your server
- Open the **Version Changer** tool
- Select the server type (Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Fabric, etc.)
- Choose the version you want
- Confirm the change and restart your server

## Important Notes

- Always **create a backup** before changing versions, especially when downgrading
- Downgrading a world to an older version may cause issues if newer blocks or features were used in the world
- After changing versions, verify that your mods and plugins are compatible with the new version
