Minecraft is constantly updating and evolving, and MCC Island looks to take advantage of the latest and greatest the game has to offer. This means you may be asked to update your game when new versions are released.
<aside> đź’ˇ We currently recommend using Minecraft 1.21.4 to play on MCC Island.

To help you out, we’ve put together some information on how to update the version of Minecraft you’re using for various launchers you might be using.

The Minecraft Launcher’s default profile automatically uses the latest version of the game - if you’re using that profile, you shouldn’t need to update, as it’ll happen automatically!
If you’ve created a custom profile or need to use an older version of the game, you may need to change the version of the game you use manually.
To do this, select the Installations tab within your Minecraft Launcher. Highlight the installation you wish to update, then click the three-dot icon (…) next to it.
Then, select the “Version” dropdown, and choose the version you’d like to use.
<aside> 💡 Choosing “latest release” within the dropdown will automatically keep your game up to date, so you won’t have to do this again in the future!

Finally, save your changes, and launch the game!
Select the Instance you’d like to edit, then choose “Edit Instance”. Select Minecraft in the list that appears, and then click the “Change version” button on the right-hand side. A list of available versions will appear - choose the version you’d like to update to, then click OK to confirm.
