Game updates

"Update available"

Cosmic Warp checks for new versions of your servers' games every few hours. When one is out, your server shows Update available in Warp View and on its page.

Nothing updates by itself. When it suits you (say, when nobody's playing), open the server and press Update game. Your world is archived first, the game is updated, your world is put back, and the server starts again. If anything goes wrong, the world from just before the update is in Archives.

Which games are checked

  • Steam games (Valheim, Rust, Palworld, 7 Days to Die and most others): by the dedicated server's latest Steam build.
  • Minecraft Java (vanilla) and Paper: by the newest stable Minecraft release.
  • Not checked yet: modded Minecraft (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, modpacks), Bedrock, and custom games. Their page says so. Update game still installs the latest version of them.
  • A server set up on a version of its own (a modpack, or a Minecraft version you picked) isn't checked, so it isn't nagged to leave the version you chose.
