    Why not the Egg Changer in the panel?

    The game panel's Settings tab has an Egg Changer doescard that. In(in the panelpanel, each game or server type is called an egg). It does switch the game, but the billing site doesn't find out.

If your server ever has to be rebuilt (for example during maintenance or a move), it's reinstalled with the Eggoriginal Changergame card at the bottom of the Settings tab.

    Which games can I switch to?

    The Egg list only shows what your current server can switch to. For example, a Vintage Story server can currently switch to:

      Vintage Story variants Minecraft: Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Sponge, BungeeCord,, and the modpack installer Terraria, Palworld, Project Zomboid and Valheim

      If the list says "No eggs available to switch to.", there's nothing set up for your current game. Open a ticket and we'll see what we can do.

      Your plan's RAM, CPU and disk stay the same whatever you switch to. Some games need more resources than others, so check your plan is big enough. See Upgrade/Downgrading Servers.

      Switching

        Take a backup of anything you want to keep. See Backups. Stop the server. In the Egg Changer card, choose the new game in Egg and click Update. A Change Egg window opens with three switches:

          Should I delete all files?

            Switching to a completely different game (e.g. Vintage Story → Valheim): yes, usually. The old game's files and world just take up space and can confuse the new game. Back up first! Switching between versions of the same game (e.g. Minecraft Paper → Purpur): no. Keep your files so your world carries over.

            Deleting files cannot be undone. The button turns red as a reminder.
