Updating Modded Minecraft Servers

There are many different versions of Minecraft, and many more mods. Some mods support multiple versions and are quite quickly updated by the developers to support a new version of Minecraft when the game is updated. Others, especially the more complicated mods, take much longer. Of course some become abandoned by their developers also.

This means that whenever we want to update our modded Minecraft server to a new version of the game, we also have to wait for the mod developers to update the mods we’re using. Sometimes this isn’t possible, and we have to remove some mods. If the mod added new blocks to our world, any blocks in the world will be removed. For example, if we’ve created a build using a block from biomesofplenty such as biomesofplenty:amber_block and then we remove the mod, this block will disappear along with all the other blocks added by biomesofplenty.
