can't connect to my server and was told in my support ticket to ask here

[lost blaze]

I have not played Mincraft for a fairly long time now, and my server has been dormant since 1.19. I upgraded the paper server jar file to 1.20.2, upgraded 3 plug-ins, but when I restarted the server it sown as unconnectable in my client

Server paper1.20
Plug-ins
Worldedit
World hard
Multiverse-core
Multiverse nether portals
LuckPerm
Essentialsx
Spawn
Protect
Chat

Not sure what to do, or where to go. I have completely redone the multi-player server connection and reset the server multiple times.

What error are you getting when you connect

[zealous minnow]

@lost blaze You should add the plugins

ViaVersion
ViaBackwards
ViaRewind

[lost blaze]

What do those plug-ins do?

[zealous minnow]

They allow users with older version of Minecraft to join your server

From 1.8 to current version

Do you have mobile support @lost blaze

??

They should give the error before you just suggest plugins that may or may not fix the issue

[zealous minnow]

Minecraft has updated recently more likely it has to do with them using an older client @slate lion

Do not assume without proof

So I eventually ripped out all of the plug-ins, re-download the newest versions, also chose to go to the experimental buod, and things seem to be working now
