# Check in [[Dev Release Stability]] that the version you want to update to is stable enough.

# [http://downloads.gtnewhorizons.com/ServerPacks/ Download] a new server version of GTNH.

# If you are using the Java 17+ version, then update and use these files from the downloaded archive to start the server: <code>lwjgl3ify-forgePatches.jar</code>, <code>java9args.txt</code>, <code>startserver-java9.bat</code> and <code>startserver-java9.sh</code>.

 

===Warnings===

* In less than half a year, Oracle has changed the terms of the Always Free tier from 4 TPU cores and 24 GB ram to 3k OCPU hours and 18k GB RAM hours. They can change the rules again in the future. Be wary.

 

===Improvements===

It's very likely that 50GB will not be enough for a lategame server. You will need more storage space.

 

# Optionally, you can make the block-volume to mount automatically when the instance launches. Use [https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Block/References/fstaboptionsconsistentdevicepaths.htm#fstab_Options_for_Block_Volumes_Using_Consistent_Device_Paths this] manual. However, be very careful on this step. As written at the bottom of the manual, you can brick your instance if you make a mistake and would have to use the site-console to revert changes. However, the result is well worth it -- you won't have to remember how to mount a block-volume if you need to restart the instance.

 

The 16x16 pieces of the world are called chunks. When a player loads into the world, the server starts to simulate the chunks around them -- it loads these chunks. You want some chunks to remain loaded when you're away. For example, for the machines to continue working, or for the crops to grow.

 

If the described way to load chunks is not fitting, the Windows part of the manual describes the alternatives.

 

==Warnings==

This part of the guide was last revised in November 2020 with version 2.0.9.0. The download links are compatible with each other.
