Enable/Disable Automatic Updates

Perhaps this feature exists but didn't see it in options - allow script to enable/disable automatic updates of the Minecraft dedicated server.
It does not but this is also a good idea. It wouldn't be too hard to add something like this. There are already a couple of flags used at various places in SetupMinecraft.sh and this could be done either via a flag in SetupMinecraft.sh (making it permanent until you run SetupMinecraft.sh again, this would probably be a decent way to do it) or through start.sh although I like that a little less but if there were complications adding it the way I'm thinking then.
I think I can do this one as well and I'll investigate getting it added here!
PSA, in case anyone else is reverting their server to the old version, you just have to comment out these two lines by adding # to the start of the line: https://github.com/TheRemote/MinecraftBedrockServer/blob/master/start.sh#L106-L107
And to revert, you should have the old version in the downloads folder in your server folder. You can unzip by using the same commands you are commenting out, with the specific filename of your old server version.
Well that certainly shows that this and the other workaround should be possible. It sounds like I basically already am keeping a backup of the previous server in the downloads folder! This was just more a consequence of how it works and does the updates and I'd just need to add a flag or some way to trigger it.
This is a great workaround though for the moment. Thanks for sharing!
Reverting by commenting out the lines and unzipping the previous server zip worked for me. I also commented out the update script until 1.19 client drops.
Excellent, thanks for that! Before the next time this happens we will have something in place ready to deal with this but this should be a workaround until then (and you can see exactly how it's going to work and why when it's put in the script, it will do essentially exactly what you just did manually but it will just have a way to trigger this that is far easier than having to go comment out individual lines of code).
Thanks everyone!
