Last updated
Ever tried to join a Minecraft server but got stopped by an ‘outdated server’ message? Well, you’re not alone! This common issue pops up now and then, leaving many players scratching their heads. Let’s dive into what this actually means and how to solve it, so you can get back to your blocky adventures.
When you get an ‘outdated server’ message in Minecraft, it means there’s a version mismatch between your Minecraft client and the server you’re trying to join. But don’t worry, we’ve got the fixes lined up for you!
Short and Sweet: Update or Downgrade
So, the quickest way to fix the outdated server dilemma? Make sure your game version matches the server’s. This might mean you need to update your game or, in some cases, downgrade it. Sounds simple enough, right?
If the server is running on a newer version of Minecraft, you’ll need to update your game to the latest version. You can easily do this through your game launcher. If the server is on an older version, you might have to download and install that specific version of the game, which can also be done via the launcher settings.
