Install a Different Game on Your Server (Egg Changer)

Already have a server and want to play a different game? You do not need a new server. The game panel can switch your server to almost any supported game in a few minutes using the Egg Changer in Settings.

Quick answer: Open your server with Manage server, go to Settings, find the Egg Changer section, select your new game (for example Vanilla Bedrock), click Switch Egg, turn ON Update Startup Command and Reinstall Server in the popup, then confirm. The new game installs in a few minutes.
Before you start:
  • The server must be Offline first. Stop the server before you change the game. If it is running, stop it and wait until the status shows Offline.
  • Reinstalling deletes ALL server files. Worlds, configs, plugins, uploads - everything on the server is removed so the new game can be set up cleanly. If you want to keep anything, download a backup from Backups (or Files) before you switch.

Step 1: Open your server

Log in to the panel and, on your server card, click Manage server to open the server control page.

Step 2: Go to Settings

How you open Settings depends on your device:

  • On mobile: tap the 3 dots (menu) and select Settings.
  • On PC: in the left sidebar, under CONFIGURATION, click Settings.

Step 3: Find the Egg Changer section

Scroll down in Settings until you find the Egg Changer section. It has a dropdown that says Select an egg to change to and a Switch Egg button.

Step 4: Select your new game

Open the dropdown and choose the game you want to install - for example Vanilla Bedrock, Vanilla Minecraft, Palworld, Rust and many more. Select the game, then click Switch Egg.

Step 5: Enable both options in the popup

A popup appears asking you to confirm the switch. Turn ON both toggles before confirming:

  • Update Startup Command - updates the server startup command to the new game's default. Always turn this ON when changing games.
  • Reinstall Server - reinstalls the server so the new game's files are set up properly. This deletes all existing files on the server. Turn this ON too.

Turn ON both toggles - Update Startup Command and Reinstall Server - then click Switch Egg.

Step 6: Switch and wait

Click Switch Egg and wait. The server reinstalls for the new game - this takes a few minutes. Do not close the panel or start the server while it is switching. When the reinstall finishes, your new game is installed and you can start the server and play.

Remember: the server stays offline until you press Start after the switch, and everything on the old server is wiped during reinstall - so back up anything important first.
