See? When I said it might drop today...I was just 30 minutes too early :D
According to some hot rumors, Minecraft 1.1 is going to drop today! How opportune with our server move! Now, we won't be updating until bukkit is stable...however with this new host we're not limited to recommended builds only, we can install development builds which still work, so we can be up to date MUCH faster.
We know that many of you want to play around in 1.1 right off, but to play before we update,...do that you need to backup you client's game files, and keep a 1.0 version (Windows and Linux) AND a 1.1 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 1.0 /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/minecraft
As always, here's the Official Feature List and the often-more-useful Wiki feature and bug list. Also, for everyone asking when Bukkit will be updated, here's their status: Bukkit Dev Status.
