Can players on another version join a 1.13.1 server?
Only players on 1.13.1 itself: its network protocol (401) is its own. A Paper server can let other versions in with plugins such as ViaVersion and ViaBackwards.
Can I update my world to Minecraft 1.13.1?
Yes. Take a backup, switch the server to 1.13.1 and start it: the world is converted on the first boot. A world opened in 1.13.1 cannot be opened in an older version again, so keep the backup until you are sure.
How do I start a Minecraft 1.13.1 server?
Create a server on FadeHost and pick 1.13.1 in the software list: Paper, Spigot and Vanilla are there for this version. It is online in about a minute. The free tier runs a 2 GB server at no cost, and a paid server is sized to the RAM you need.
