    Hello Admins and Players, if it would be every helpful if you help me. This all happened when my friend wanted to add a plug-in but anyways it worked and It was 1.17. It was for a script vid. But then we changed to 1.16.5 bc 1.17 has no skins yet. When we changed to 1.16.5 there was problems with logs then it says "this server was used in a newer version" then after that my friend did some things and kinda fixed it. But when he fixed it, it keeps saying "loading overworld". Then after we tried to use the backup but anyways it worked. Then after the day I noticed it was on forge then I asked my friend why it was forge when we usually use paper/Bukkit and vanilla. Then he said he doesnt know. Then after that, I tried to change it to vanilla 1.16.5 then it says your world will be deleted then I did and continued pressing "yes, reinstall". I did it bc i know I had a backup. Then when I used the backup it went to forge again. THEN THERE WHENEVER I TRY TO ON THE SERVER AND KEEP CHANGING TO VANILLA IT KEEPS CHANGING TO FORGE. Pls Help aternos. It would mean the world. - Z_SHI and the Z SMP membrs.

    You can do the following to keep your world:

    - Stop your server

    - Download the world on the worlds page: https://support.aternos.org/hc…35711-Download-your-world

    - Switch the software

    - Upload the world again: https://support.aternos.org/hc…0027235751-Upload-a-world


    Please note that we have an upload limit, which is explained in the guide for the upload. If your world is larger than this limit you can't upload the world again.

    Also understand that doing this procedure is not recommended and that we cannot provide any further support about it. Worlds which were used on a modded server can cause issues if you use it on a server with another software. This is also the reason why our system wants you to reinstall the server.
