IMPORTANT UPDATE: We just found a major bug in last-minute testing. Sorry guys, it'll definitely be tonight, but just a little while longer. WE HAVE A RECOMMENDED BUILD! Bukkit's server is being crushed, I'm trying to update right now, I'll send an e-mail when it's up. This is what the stupid screen looks like:

UPDATE: We're already on bukkit build 1160 :( Looks stable, but still no rec. Bugs to fix :/

The hell man! Still no bukkit for 1.0. I know at home I've upgraded to 1.0, so I have been playing single player, but I'm still keeping an eye on server stuff. All the info from the last 1.0 post is in the "read more" link at the bottom of this post.

Even if we're all on different versions and such, doesn't mean we can't hang out! How's guys 1.0 adventures goin? Anyone care to share? Share in the comments!

heres a video of our celebration for minecraft 1.0!

UPDATE: Surf here, still on vacation in Orlando, just checked on bukkit, still not updated. I'll be home late Saturday night, hopefully it'll be updated soon!

TODAY IS THE DAY! Minecraft 1.0!

Alpha and beta players will get the game for free of course.

We won't be updating the server to 1.0 until bukkit is out. Make sure to back up your 1.8.1 files (Windows and Linux) to play on the server until we update...you can switch back-and-forth between versions. Here's how to find the files that need to be backed up:

• In Linux: ~/.minecraft
• In Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/.minecraft
• In Windows 7: C:/Users/[USERNAME]/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft
• In OSX: Mac Version of 1.8.1--> /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Per the vote...main world will be unchanged, update world will be reset (as well as that shithole noob world), and 1.0 world will be created as a permanent world at the official game release state.

As always, we are at the mercy of Bukkit. Here's their development status (red dot = unstable build, blue dot = stable build, green star = recommended build...we're only allowed to install recommended builds). Here's Bukkit's 1.0 Discussion. Finally, we'll need to make sure all our plugins work...that may take some time because there's a lot and will be tons of changes. Just keep checking here :)

MINECRAFT 1.0 IS COMING OUT THIS WEEK! Can you believe it? Personally, I've been with this server since September 2010, and some people have been here longer :o.

First, let me say this. No matter what, the current main map will still be around. I've personally spent almost a year building there, it's not gonna POOF go away. However, we have an opportunity with 1.0...We could move Main world to another world (like Legacy_2.0_Map) ans make Main World fresh, or continue on the path we have with Update World and keep new chunks there. Also, we could create a more permanant Update world called like 1.0 World, which is like update world but we won't reset it (so, in theory, since update world will still be there, there would be 2 Minecraft 1.0 Maps). Vote on that below.

EVEN THOUGH this is 1.0...we're still following the normal update procedures. We won't be updating the server until bukkit is ready to go. I think this won't be an issue...most people will play single player for a while (I actually expect multiplayer attendance to DROP while ppl play single player, then shoot up when veterans come back after beating single player and being interested in the game again.) Make sure to back up your game files so you can go between versions.

LAST THING: No matter what, update world will be reset. Get your stuff out of there. THIS IS YOUR DUE WARNING! Spread the word about that.
