UPDATE #8: Bukkit is finally out! We're at 1.8.1, there's still some pretty bad bugs, but it's very playable, update an hop on!

UPDATE #7: No update, I'm just tired of having to go to the comments for this link.

UPDATE #6: Here's another update from bukkit's twitter, looks like no recommended build tonight but possibly tomorrow: The RB will not be tonight (erm, within the next 5 hours?), we'll see about how it looks tomorrow. #freecookiesforpatience

UPDATE #5: Here's something from bukkit's twitter: We're very sorry for the delay, there are some nasty bugs that are hard to reproduce and we're working as hard as we can

UPDATE #4: As of sunday night, no changes to bukkit. Just keep checking in, as soon as bukkit is up we'll update. -surf

UPDATE #3: Seems to be up now, keep on 1.7.3 and hop on :D -surf

UPDATE #2: Bukkit has completed their code, and are now compiling to release as a development build. That means they begin bug testing...you'll see quick iterations before they finally get to a stable build, which they'll promote to recommended, then we can install it. Also, know why you can't connect to our server? Because minecraft.net is flooded and the join server is timing out...our host confirmed it. Nothing we can do :/ Stay tuned! -surf

UPDATE #1: Looks like the minecraft auth server is down? Server is working, but no one can log in, I'm getting a "bad login" error. Nothing I can do that I know of. -surf

WHILE I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION! We could for sure use some cash to help our owners pay for all this, we want to keep the server free but your donations really help us out, there's a paypal donations link on the side. Anything you can donate (even like a buck or two) is appreciated! Also, we get ad revenue from this site, so checking in multiple times a day or commenting helps us out a TON! Thanks :D

So 1.8 is ALMOST OUT! Our plan is to NOT update our server to 1.8 until Bukkit is up to snuff. Especially for this update, Bukkit is an integral part of our plan for managing the server. We know that many of you want to play around in 1.8, but still connect to our server...to do that you need to backup you client's game files, and keep a 1.7.03 version (Windows and Linux) AND a 1.8 version that you can go back and forth between. 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 1.7_03 /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/minecraft

As always, here's where the Notch feature list and the Wiki feature and bug list. Also, for everyone asking when Bukkit will be updated, here's their status: Bukkit Dev Status (Look for the version with the green star) Also, follow them on twitter, as of this morning, they say "'Hours or days' is a good question but I still do not have an answer for you. I'm hoping for hours."

Lastly, make sure to check out the command list on the side and check out the "Multiverse" commands. Specifically, to jump between worlds, you use the command "/mv tp [worldname]". You will only be able to teleport yoruself, and you will go to the world's "default" spawn point, which in our main world will be Noob Spawn. Remember that, /spawn will still work to get you to member spawn.
