Main question:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Aternos deletes servers after 3 months of inactivity. Long story short - I am physically unable to get into my world now, but I can turn on the server. If I turn on the server but nobody actually enters the world, does this count as “activity” in the 3-month timer? Can I protect my server from getting deleted this way? Or does someone have to actually enter the world?
—————
Bonus question if anyone can help:
I can’t enter the world because Aternos is on a lower version number (1.21.130.3) than Minecraft (26.20). I thought I had Aternos set to automatic updates, but apparently it’s not. I don’t see the option there anymore. I used to be the co-owner of the server with a friend and we managed everything, but long story short, the co-owner removed all my access and restricted to me only turning the server on/off. But that person doesn’t even play, I’m the only one who usually plays :/
I haven’t played in three months and now I’m really scared of the server getting wiped out. I may not be the owner but I’m the only one who cares about the server. Is there any way I can update Aternos if my only option is to turn it on/off? Or maybe I can downgrade my Minecraft somehow? I’m on Bedrock.
Crazy how I just coincidentally tried getting on Minecraft yesterday on May 5th after almost three months, and yesterday is the day version 26.20 came out. Wish I tried at least a day earlier.
Please help, thank you in advance!
