@Dudu54 you might be a good person to ask. There are so many different "versions" of mincecraft that I have been reluctant to support all but vanilla. Is there an article explaining what the different versions are all about?

@dgibbs64 Here is a good one What is Spigot? CraftBukkit? Bukkit? Vanilla? Forge? PaperSpigot? Etc.

@Dudu54 thanks. Clear as mud haha. I think because of the complexity of the versions it makes sense for each Minecraft variant to have its own server version.

[dgibbs64]

@Dudu54 would it be a good idea to do a version select for vanilla minecraft as well?

[0DUDDU]

@dgibbs64 Sure, i will look to do that.

Also, where can i move the selection function which take a string with option on each line to not duplicate the code for each server type

[dgibbs64]

core_messages might be a good place as its UI related

I think because of the complexity of the versions it makes sense for each Minecraft variant to have its own server version.

This gets even more complicated when you add modpacks into the picture. What is the "version" at that point? Do we add a different server for every modpack in existence?

FWIW, I am using Minecraft with the Sky Factory 4 modpack. To get it to work, I just copied my existing server files into the serverfiles directory, and added a symlink minecraft_server.jar that just points to the Forge JAR.
