    First off, relax.

    If you're using the new Minecraft launcher, you have a choice on whether or not you want to update to the latest Minecraft release - simply choose "Not now" when it asks if you want to update and you can continue to play on your pre-update Minecraft server.

    If you're not using the new Minecraft launcher, backup your old launcher and update it by downloading it from http://minecraft.net, then follow the steps above.

    It usually takes us a few hours AT LEAST to get Bukkit working with the latest Minecraft update, so you're better off playing a different game or staying on the previous version of Minecraft, instead. If you have a special server that requires lots of mods, like a class-based server, consider backing up your world, running the new Minecraft update and calling it a grief/fun/fool-around period OR stay on your current version and just keep playing.

    Just remember, always backup so you can switch between versions. You're no longer forced to go weeks without a Bukkit powered server.

    Once we have a new Bukkit build that is compatible with the newest Minecraft update, we'll put it under rigorous testing and then promote it as a Recommended Build. Usually, due to the way Bukkit and CraftBukkit are designed, plugins should work just fine but there's no guarantee that this is always the case so be sure to test everything on a test server before you go live.

    Lastly, we're fully aware that a new update is out - usually before anyone else. Don't spam the forums with threads or IRC with messages informing us that there's a new Minecraft update out. We know. And we're working on updating Bukkit to work with it. The more you bother us, the longer it'll take.

    Have fun!

    First off, thanks for quoting me 3 times.
    Secondly, How does me being a dev relate to me asking that question. It was perfectly reasonable to ask that question because with a new MC update and then bukkit racing to update, it very well could have been a CB error.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Would somebody tell me where it is announced when they have a major update like this ready to be downloaded?

    I mean, when Minecraft updates to a new version, is it announced somewhere on this forum or website where the updated bukkit is that works with the minecraft update?

    Thanks,

    @Fekillix o_o Yes. They're all named "craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar", for technical reasons.

    You won't lose your plugins. What's your setup? How are you running CraftBukkit as a server?

    Hi. New guy here. Go easy on me :p

    Why is it that the op functions keep changing?
    When I first started, the /give function needed the exact player name (even if you were giving to yourself, the exact item number, and the amount. And it tossed the item out in front of you.

    Then I upgraded to 556 after a day of realizing my version was outdated, and the /give function seemed to be improved. Instead of throwing the item out, it put it in the inventory, you could type in the item name if you didn't know the number, and if you wanted to give an item to yourself, you didn't need to specify a player.

    Now I've upgraded to 617, and the /give function is back to its old self. Am I doing something wrong? Or was the function downgraded for stability or something?

    People would stop asking if its out, if there was some indication on the front page/download page/announcements threads that there has been an update. The only way to know that there has been and update is to read through this thread. Why not create an announcement that its out and sticky it to the front page like they did this thread?

    @ZerG Patience might be the best option there. High-demand plugins have a lot of pressure to update quickly.

    Oh, and just in case, I'd like to divulge a little problem I ran into and clarify something in case anyone else is having this issue and came here to figure it out. The main page of the wiki is still out of date and has the wrong versions listed for the recommended and dev builds. And for some reason no one seemed to think it would be a good idea to put an indicator on the recommended build page to let you know exactly what version it is you are downloading. This caused me a good hour of grief searching for the correct build just to find I had downloaded it already.

    Silly Bukkit team. Thanks for the update! Despite your confusing wiki lol...update that thing!

    @Troopah What's your setup? Are you trying to access another computer hosting your server internally/externally, or are you just running it alongside your client?
