The 1.21.5 / 1.21.6 / 1.21.7 Update It's been a hot minute since the last post, but here we are!

Refining the Update Process Before the hard fork, the Paper team had major crunch updating all of Paper in an attempt to get builds out for a new Minecraft release days or weeks after the Mojang release, as we had to wait for our former upstream to release their update before we could even start with ours. Since the har...

The 1.18.2 Update We are now releasing initial builds for 1.18.2. These have been tested by our team over the last few days and we were able to iron out quite a few issues, but you should still be careful.

As always, we would like to thank everybody who contributed to this update, be it by contributing code, reporting issues or just d...

The 1.18 update After the initial release a bit over a month ago, Paper 1.18.1 is now deemed ready for use in production environments. As with any upgrade, please ensure you have a functioning backup before proceeding. World downgrades are not supported under any circumstances. Upgrading worlds to 1.18 With the increased world height that 1.18 brought, Mojang has introduced retrogen to allow worlds using the old (0 to 256) height to upgrade cleanly to the new (-64 to 320) height. Retrogen will fill in ne...

Chat Signing and Reporting Concerns We have received a great deal of concern regarding our stance and support for the new chat signing aspect of Minecraft. As such, we figure it best to clear up a few p...

The 1.20.5/6 Update Stable Paper and Velocity 1.20.6 builds have been released! The reason for the stable announcement arriving so late is that upstream's item handling has shown to be incredibly broken after the 1.20.5 changes to items. Unfortunately, there still remain a good number of smaller issues with ItemMeta API<->vanilla conversion, but at this point we should have gotten rid of the nastier ones. In any case, please make sure to report any such issues or missing functionality on our issue ...
