Paper & Velocity 1.19.3 Are Here – Here's What You Need to Know

Paper and Velocity have both rolled out their 1.19.3 builds, bringing compatibility with Minecraft's latest version. Here's what server owners should care about.

Paper and Velocity 1.19.3 Releases

The PaperMC team has released builds for both Paper and Velocity targeting Minecraft 1.19.3. If you're running a server on PaperChunk and want to stay current with the latest game version, you've got the green light to update.

What Changed?

1.19.3 brings a handful of improvements and tweaks to Minecraft's mechanics and performance. While the changelog isn't jam-packed with game-breaking features, it's the kind of incremental update that keeps the game polished and running smoothly. The Paper team has ensured full compatibility with the vanilla experience while maintaining all the performance optimizations and plugin support you rely on.

What This Means for Server Owners

If you're considering updating your server, now's the time. Paper 1.19.3 is ready to go, which means your plugins should work seamlessly (assuming they've been updated by their developers). Velocity 1.19.3 is also available, so if you're running a proxy network, you can keep everything in sync. Just double-check that your critical plugins have 1.19.3 builds before flipping the switch – it only takes a few minutes to verify compatibility.

Stay Updated

As always, grab the latest builds from the official PaperMC website and test them on a staging server first. Better safe than sorry when it comes to production environments. Happy hosting!
