The **Settings** tab has the tools to rebuild your server or turn it into a different type. Both can delete files, so **take a backup first** and download it if the data matters (see [How to create and restore backups](/docs/how-to-create-and-restore-backups)). The Settings page has five boxes: **SFTP Details**, **Change Server Details**, **Debug Information**, **Reinstall Server** and **Change Egg**. ## Reinstall Server Reinstalling stops the server and runs the installation script again, the same one that set it up when you bought it. The panel warns that some files may be deleted or changed during this. Use it when the server's core files are broken and it won't start. 1. Open your server at [panel.endercloud.in](https://panel.endercloud.in) and click **Settings**. 2. Find the **Reinstall Server** box and read the warning. 3. Click **Reinstall Server** and confirm. 4. Wait while the panel shows **Running Installer**, then start the server from **Console**. > **Note:** > Minecraft Java server? To change the software (Paper, Fabric, Forge…) or the Minecraft version, use the **Versions** tab instead. See [How to change Minecraft version or server software](/docs/how-to-change-minecraft-version-or-server-software). ## Change Egg (switch server type) An "egg" is the template that decides what kind of server this is. The list depends on your service: - **Minecraft servers**: Paper, Sponge (SpongeVanilla), Vanilla Minecraft, Bungeecord, Vanilla Bedrock, Velocity, Fabric, Nukkit, PocketmineMP, MohistMC, Folia, Purpur, Quilt, Waterfall and **MCASelector – Delete Chunks**. Use Change Egg mainly to move between Java and **Bedrock** (Vanilla Bedrock, Nukkit, PocketmineMP), because Bedrock software is not in the Versions tab. - **Bot servers**: bot languages under **Bot Hosting**, for example **node.js generic**, **python generic**, **discord.js**, **Bun** or **golang generic**. 1. Make a backup and stop the server. 2. Go to **Settings** and find the **Change Egg** box. 3. Open the dropdown, pick the new type and click **Apply**. A window opens with two switches: - **Reinstall Server**: runs the new type's installer so everything it needs is set up. Keep this on in almost every case. - **Wipe Server Files**: deletes all files first, for a completely clean start. Leave it off if you want to keep your files, but changing the egg can still remove or overwrite some. 4. Confirm with **Change Egg**. The panel shows **Running Installer**, which can take up to about 2 minutes. 5. Check the **Startup** tab (main file, packages, version), upload your files if needed, and start the server. Both switches in the window can't be undone. More about bots: [Change your bot language or version](/docs/change-your-bot-language-or-version). More about Bedrock: [Bedrock server guide](/docs/bedrock-server-guide). ## MCASelector – Delete Chunks This egg is a tool, not a game server. It runs MCASelector, a program that can delete selected chunks from a Java world, for example corrupted chunks that crash the server or old areas you want to regenerate. Use it carefully: 1. Create a backup **and download it**. Note which egg you use now (for example Paper) and its version in the **Versions** tab. 2. Switch to **MCASelector – Delete Chunks** with Change Egg, with **Wipe Server Files** off. 3. Look at the **Startup** tab and the **Console** to see what the tool asks for, then start it. If you are not sure how to tell it which chunks to delete, stop here and open a ticket. 4. When it is done, use Change Egg again to switch **back** to your normal egg (Wipe Server Files off), check the **Versions** tab, and start the server. Deleted chunks are generated fresh the next time a player visits them, so any builds in them are gone. See also [Corrupted world or chunks](/docs/corrupted-world-or-chunks). ## Change Server Details Set the **Server Name** and **Server Description** shown in the panel, then click **Save**. This does not change your address or anything players see in game. (To change how the service is named in billing, use **Update Label** on the service page.) ## Debug Information This box shows the **Node** your server runs on and its full **Server ID**. Copy both into your ticket when you contact support. It helps our team find your server straight away. ## Frequently asked questions **Q: The panel is stuck on "Running Installer"** Wait a few minutes and refresh the page. If it is still stuck after 10 minutes, open a ticket at [billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create](https://billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create) with the Node and Server ID. **Q: Will reinstalling delete my world or bot code?** It can. Reinstalling may delete or overwrite files, so back up and download anything important first. **Q: Can I turn my bot server into a Minecraft server?** No. The Change Egg list only offers the types for your product, so a bot server shows bot types. For Minecraft, order a Minecraft plan. Open a ticket if you are unsure which plan fits.
