Seps to reproduce:

  • New Server Std. install
  • AMP install
  • Minecraft instance install

Actions taken to resolve so far:

None, because I don't know what to do.

Those errors mean you’re trying to use an older version of Paper with a world that was loaded in a newer version of Minecraft.

If it’s a new world you’ll want to stop the server, delete the world folder, then start the server to generate a new one.

If this is an already established world, you’ll need to select a Paper version that matches the MC version the world was created on.
