A PowerShell script that will get the latest version of Minecraft and download the server jar file

Minecraft Server Latest Update Powershell

This script will check the official Minecraft Version Manifest from Mojang to retrieve the latest release version number. It will then download the Minecraft Server jar file to the directory you specify. The script can also update your "run.bat" file to use the newly downloaded jar file.

⚠️ Please make sure your server is not running when updating the server.

⚠️ Always make backups of your world(s) before updating! I am not responsible for corrupted worlds.
