Updating Minecraft is a must, because of all the new features that come with updates. To get the newest content, it is best to update the game and get the recent version.
Most of the time, Minecraft can get updated automatically, if the device is on standby mode and connected to Wi-Fi. However, if someone wants to manually update their game, then they can easily do so.

- Locate the Minecraft folder in your PC, and then create a backup for the configuration files in it
- You should make a backup of files titled ‘banned-is banned-players, ops, and server. properties’
- Put these files in a folder and then copy them, so that you can restore them later

- Copy the file in the Minecraft Server folder, and then rename the server file; make sure to remove the version number from the server file you have just downloaded
- Run the new sever file
