Our server hosted by Aaron Schwartz is running Minecraft version 1.16.2
As of Sept, 2020
The EVO server is running Minecraft version 1.16.2
Important catch: The latest version of MC is 1.16.2 or maybe even higher when you read this
You'll need 1.16.2 in order to play on the EVO server until and if it is upgraded
To change Minecraft versions using the new launcher, in August, 2020, here is what you do ...
At this time, you want 1.16.2. That could change, so stay tuned ...

These video instructions show profile settings to 1.12.2 but the concept translates to the new launcher
Olivetree made a 3:38 min:sec video to show you how to change your profile from the latest version to ours, 1.12.2
And you can try following the instructions below the video, but note that the new Minecraft launcher has changed its appearance slightly, though the principle is the same.

Dakotah Redstone's Haliwell server
This notice was posted on Discord on Sept 17, 2020
Hosted by Dakota Redstone, the server was the center of half the activities scheduled in the last months of EVO Minecraft MOOC 2020
Dak worked in tandem with Carole Rainbow to welcome newcomers to their server
It was a pure survival server. When you arrived, you would be in diapers, have no accumulations from previous game play, and feel a bit frustrated, like going out and punching a tree or something.
You could tell it to the Golem
But Dak or Carole were usually on hand to shepherd newcomers to the experience, and they had set up a welcome area where essentials were available. Playing in pure survival mode gave us insights into how Minecraft could be used in this mode with students to help develop critical thinking and cooperation skills, because students would have to develop strategies for coping with respawning empty handed, such as quickly creating shelters, stocking them with chests, storing critical gear in them to speed re-entry after the next respawn event, and finding light so they can work, protected, in the dark.
It's easier when you play with others and tasks can be shared and delegated.
If Dak mounts a similar effort for 2021 we'll let you know. Meanwhile we thank him for his many contributions over the years to EVO Minecraft MOOC and for all we have learned from him.
