When will this server update to 1.7? How can I continue to play in the meantime?

[staticfactory]

The short version:

Q) Will this server update to 1.7?
A) Yes!

Q) When will this server update to 1.7?
A) When our server mod/plugins are updated and work correctly. This will probably a couple of weeks but it's impossible to know for sure at this point.

Q) Can I still play on this server in the meantime?
A) Yes, but you will need to stay at version 1.6. If you have already updated to 1.7, it is easy to switch back to version 1.6. Just follow the instructions here!

The details:

Our server runs CraftBukkit. CraftBukkit is a server mod that allows us to use custom plugins.

When Mojang updates the game (to beta 1.7 in this case), the CraftBukkit team must re-code their server mod to work with it. When that is finished, the authors of the custom plugins must then update their code to work with the new CraftBukkit version. This takes time. Mojang will likely release a bunch of fixes to 1.7 over the next week or 2 (1.7.1, 1.7.2, etc.) and every time they do that the CraftBukkit team must start over again. Once the mod/plugins are released, we then have to download them and test them with our configuration.

We will keep you in the loop as we progress toward a 1.7 release. We have done this many times now and are becoming increasingly efficient, so stay tuned.

FU rage quit J/K

ok here is mah 1.7 update idea:

fix warps cubiod and pw's then update to 1.7 then start working on the shop the economy will run on people that have big vaults so that wond be a big problem and that shortens downgrade time almost a week

You're not taking into account the fact that we don't program the plugins JooZt, but thanks.

hmm i tought we had a shop plugin that took much work for updating but im sorry

Mojang is up to 1.7.2, and there is an item-dupe bug that we are not prepared to introduce into our economy. Once they solve this bug (hopefully with 1.7.3), we'll get cracking on a new build.

i forgot to mention that was fixed in 1.7.2

1.7 what a terrible patch. The worst one so far as I can see.

i forgot to mention that was fixed in 1.7.2

Not according to bukkit.org it wasn't:

Update - July 1, 2011 at 3:01PM EST:
Minecraft 1.7.2 contains a dupe exploit that will ruin your economy or could create other issues. We strongly recommend waiting for a fix from either Mojang or ourselves before updating.

 

[AssaultCommand]

Isn't the glitch fix'd yet in 1.7_3?

 

[staticfactory]

I've heard that it is, but CraftBukkit has yet to release a recommended build for 1.7.3.

 

[staticfactory]

A recommended build for 1.7.3 was released yesterday, but this build still contains a duping bug. We will have to wait to see if this is resolved by the next build.

 

[eaglejake]

Good job Notch. Fix a dupe with a dupe.

 

[AssaultCommand]

Notch doesn't make craftbukkit, I think...

Server is still not updated, how it is going? It's been a month, sorry, I'm not impatient, but pistons/shears would really help. And dupe glitches are fixed as of Beta 1.7.3.

 

[staticfactory]

The dupe glitches are not fixed in beta 1.7.3. We will be migrating to 1.7.3 in the next few days, but there will be no support for pistons.
