Minecraft | Choose a Jar File For Your Server

To simplify the installation process, we offer a convenient built-in one-click jar installer.

Easy Method

1. Stop your server.
2. Access the Mod Manager tab.

3. Select your desired type of jar. You can also search for the version and initiate the installation process.

tip

The top Minecraft jar files will always pull the latest version, as per https://mcjarfiles.com.

4. Be patient while the jar is being downloaded and wait for the completion message. Afterwards, if you go back into the category, you will see a green installed indicator.

5. Start your server.
6. Congratulations! You have successfully completed all the necessary steps.

Installing Previous Versions of Minecraft

You can repeat the same process as above, but you can go into different categories for the specific version you want.

Unfortunately, we don't keep all versions of Minecraft for one-click installation, so you will need to use the manual method if you can't find your jar.

Manual Method

You can do this with two simple methods, which are listed below.
