#### How to change Minecraft Java Version ?

Endercloud.in offers different versions of Java to suit your server. The default Java 17 or 11 (8 for Forge servers if you specified that when purchasing your server.) will suit most people. This guide will show you how to change the version of Java if it does not work for your server.

1. Firstly you want to go to the Game Panel[ ](https://gbnodes.host/ca/plugin/support_manager/knowledgebase/view/11/how-to-change-minecraft-java-version/1/panel.gbnodes.host)and select the server that you want to change the Java version of.
2. On the left side, select 'Startup'.
3. Next, find the Docker Version tab (usually on the top right of the page)
