Minecraft v1.7 update

[Pri]

I thought I'd make a new thread to keep you all up to date with the latest information pertaining to the 1.7 Minecraft update.

I'm sure everyone is aware that the 1.7 Client and Server was released on the 25th of October. It has now been 17 days since that release and we are still not updated to 1.7 so I'm going to just key you in as to why.

Firstly the only 1.7 server available right now is the official Mojang server. That is not bukkit or spigot that is the official mojang base server which doesn't support any type of plugin system. It is only useful for completely Vanilla servers.

So the first hurdle we have is the lack of a server we can actually use. We require either a Bukkit or Spigot server (as do 95% of the servers out there).

The second hurdle is plugins. Plugin authors cannot test their plugin compatibility with 1.7 because there is no 1.7 build of bukkit/spigot available. So even after we do get a usable server it will be at least a week (and I suspect longer) before we can even use it due to our plugins not being compatible.

You may already be playing on servers which claim to be running 1.7 or at-least accepting 1.7 connecting clients. These servers are either using Mojangs Vanilla server or using servers with protocol hacks to provide connectivity for 1.7 clients without actually having any 1.7 features (like stained glass and the new biomes).

I knew before this update released it was going to take a long time but even I didn't think it would take them this long to get a working server out and looking at the forums and chat channels for Bukkit and Spigot it could be another 10 days yet until they have something available.

So please keep being patient it is our intention to update when we can, I am monitoring both bukkit and spigot for the latest developments with their 1.7 updates, it is my hope to have us updated before the beginning of december.

I know whenever you decide to pull the trigger will be the best time. I have no problems waiting - prefer it 100% working than buggy
