This guide will go over how to install Fabric versions that are not listed in the version installer on the Panel. 

Step 1: Clearing the server

This first step is to clear the server files to prevent any residual files from creating problems when trying to use the server. To do so, bring your server offline, then follow the steps below:

1. Go to the File Manager tab and select all files EXCEPT for the eula.txt file

If you need to preserve the world, press the three dots to the right of your world folder, then press "Archive". Do not delete this Archive, as we'll need it later!

2. Download the Fabric version you need from this link

This will be the file you need to upload to your server.

3. Upload the Fabric server jar to your server

4. Rename the file to "server.jar"

❗If you preserved a world, you can now unarchive the world by pressing the three dots to the right of your archive, then press "Unarchive"!

5. Navigate to your Console tab, then press Start

This will install the version of Fabric you need! Of course, if you're having any issues with this process, feel free to contact us for assistance!
