#Downgrade Bedrock Version 1.21.80 -> 1.21.71

Hello,

I’m using a BisectHosting server where I have installed a Minecraft Bedrock server, currently running on version 1.21.80 (the latest version at the moment).
However, I would like to downgrade to version 1.21.71.

Some time ago, it was possible to select the server version directly from the management panel, but this option no longer seems to be available.

How can I change the server version (server/Linux side) on BisectHosting?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

It was actually removed by staff since there is no official way to run anything but the newest version of Bedrock.

#

At least not that they could find - if there is some hidden way to roll back to an earlier version, that would be good info to have.

Hi again,

Thanks for the clarification!

Just to share some insight: my world (mcworld) currently runs on server version 1.21.81, but I'm playing locally on 1.21.71, and everything works fine — world loading and gameplay are fully compatible between these two versions since they’re very close.

In theory, if I upload the entire folder containing a previous version of the server (e.g., 1.21.71/bedrock_server), I could launch the server using:

./1.21.71/bedrock_server

instead of the default:

./bedrock_server

This would let me test and run an older version manually. However, the "Startup Command" menu is currently locked, so I can’t override the launch command to test this directly.

Would it be possible to either:

  • Re-enable the "Startup Command" field for manual override?
  • Or allow us to select which bedrock_server binary to run?

This small flexibility would make testing previous versions much easier — especially when they're still world-compatible and used for version-specific testing or bug reproduction.

Let me know if that’s something your team would consider. I'd be happy to share more details or assist with testing.

Best regards,

Since the discord is just community support (we are all other customers), that question/suggestion would be best aimed at ticket staff through the website (follow the link that beepboop posted)

#

As we cannot tell you if this is possible or make these changes :)

Thanks everyone for your help and explanations!

I understand now that this kind of request needs to go through the official support.
I'll go ahead and open a ticket to see if this could be considered or allowed on my server.

Appreciate the time you took to answer 🙂

Uploading the world should be fine, the reason we force latest is because per the Client it auto updates by force anyway; there isnt a lot of cases that would stop the client from updating outside of:

  1. Piracy
  2. A security measure (Like if a school laptop only lets you do it every now and again)

Overall its best to stick to latest anyway for Bedrock yesyes
