I want Justforfun to create a Minecraft server that runs on a very historical version. From which version can you create a server? No matter what software.

Hi

The oldest version for a server I found is 1.2.5 :)

Go to craftbukkit and scroll all the way down

Thank you

But that's not very old. Since I know servers that are on lower versions.

Alpha 1.0.17_02 is the oldest version you will find. But is very buggy, e.g. You can't beat mobs, so I recommend Alpha 1.2.6. Everything is going smoothly.

Download links to almost all old versions are below this video:

Yes, there's only this jar. Files no longer available for download (somewhere already) because the server is already old and has never been updated.

Bo

There are old versions on https://mcversions.net/ - this goes back to the very first versions when you scroll down.

The oldest version is Alpha 0.1.0. The associated client is 1.0.15

I already hosted 1.0 and played on it…

Can't preview .exe files.

There are only clients. The questioner specifically asks for SERVER software.

Ba

Of course there's no preview for an exe. Just click on "Download".

Where is the download when I open the link on the laptop?

Ba

Directly under "Can't preview .exe files".

Maybe you have an adblocker or something similar installed? Try another browser.

Aha I just noticed that this button only appears after 5 seconds!

For me it appears after half a second. And my PC is already 9 years old. A laptop really can't be that slow.
