Why You Can't Upload a Custom Server JAR
JustKris 🌕BaoHost does not allow users to upload a custom or external server.jar file directly to their server files.
Why this is not allowed
This is a security measure. Allowing arbitrary JAR files to be uploaded and executed on our infrastructure poses a significant risk — malicious or untrusted JARs could compromise the server, the node, and other users sharing the same infrastructure. BaoHost is committed to providing a safe, stable, and performant experience for all users, and this restriction is in place to protect that.
How to Change Your Server Software
Instead of uploading a JAR manually, you can change your server software safely through the panel:
- Go to your server in the panel.
- Click on the Options tab.
- Under Server Type, click Change Type.
- Select your desired server software:
- Vanilla — Official Minecraft server software from Mojang
- Paper — High performance Spigot fork with optimizations and bug fixes
- Fabric — Lightweight modding toolchain for Minecraft
- Forge — Modding platform with extensive mod support
- NeoForge — Modern Forge successor with improved APIs and active development
- Purpur — Paper fork with more gameplay and performance features
- Folia — Paper fork that adds regionized multithreading
- Quilt — Open-source, community-driven modding toolchain
- Arclight — Hybrid server software combining Bukkit plugins with Forge mods
- Leaf — Paper fork aimed to balance performance, vanilla and stability
- Select your desired Minecraft version and click Install.
⚠️ Note: Changing your server software may require a world reset if the new software is incompatible with your existing world files.
