1.5 update!?!?

[Curley]

soooo before you get excited. NO! there is not AS OF THIS POST, a bukkit for 1.5. It is all being tested and whatnot. But as we now run spigot (a fork of bukkit) we have some options. Typically what happens when an MC updates comes down the tube is we have people that read tweets and forums and we have people that don't. Some update and are locked out of twitcraft and that makes us feel sad. Typically this leaves twitcraft feeling barren and sad as people start playing single player and/or on vanilla updated server till bukkit releases their build. Spigot addressed this issue in a great way. PROTOCOL-SNAPSHOT MODE!

so before you get exited. THE SERVER IS NOT 1.5 YET as there IS NO 1.5 BUKKIT YET! but with protocol mode it allows you all to update your CLIENT to 1.5 and connect to our server which is technically 1.4.7 still so the noobs and non forum readers don't get left in the dust. ALSO you can go on playing minecraft without having to click no to the update every boot! AGAIN to reiterate, you will be on the 1.5 client and the server will say 1.5 BUT nothing from 1.5 will be in the game. When 1.5 is actually out we can start to work on plugins compatibility. This hack is only to allow people to not worry about versions. note: once i flick the switch, 1.4.7 clients can no longer connect, you will have to have the newest version.


EDIT!

ok, it seems to have worked. UPDATE YOUR CLIENTS to 1.5 AGAIN! WE ARE NOT ON 1.5, the server just tricks your client to allow it to connect and is still VERY MUCH a 1.4.7 server as THERE IS NOT a 1.5 bukkit or spigot yet. You'll be made aware when they are and when the plugins are updated. This change was made to just allow those people that don't pay attention and update to 1.5 to connect to us and have fun. ^_^ tweet me of any issues and GEEZUS donate to the SPIGOT crew for allowing this to happen! thanks for reading.


/ignore this all
**this part is temporary. I currently havethe server down and am backing all things up in case it goes wrong. when it's back up it will be in whitelist mode till i ensure it's all working. after that i will tweet that you now need 1.5 to connect but AGAIN it will require 1.5 client but NOT have 1.5 shtuff! we all on the same page? cool. Moving on! <3

Not an issue, but I did notice that in Flatland a player can get 1.5 items.

Nope. When you try to place 1.5 items it places a different pre-1.5 block.

Ah, I hadn't tried to place one, I only saw it in the inventory.
