Server Won’t Start!

[Fraction]

Hi,

I have a problem with my server ... After some time I came to play and build something and suddenly find that I can not turn on the server .. I click on start, it writes starting... starting.. and server status is offline!
In the minecraft I see that the server is online and I see the server description but if I want to connect so it connects to your lobby.

Hello @Fraction,

Did you change your server version and/or change any plugins?

I changed the server version to 1.17.1. Then I changed it back to 1.16.5 and it won’t start

Hello there @Fraction & @chillin_noob,

When changing your server version from a newer version to an older version, you need to ensure that the server is stopped, then go to your file manager and delete "world", "world_nether" and "world_the_end" (these will depend on what your world name is.).

If this didn't help, you may contact support here then click on "Contact Support" on the page linked.

What if the server was played in recently (yesterday) and just won't start today?

I would suggest making another thread then to reply to one that didn't help.
