OH NO, a Minecraft update has broken Bukkit! What do I do!?

EvilSeph · Mar 31, 2011

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!

@KoryuObihiro I am hosting my server on my computer and trying to access it on my computer,

Whenever I try to start a server with any of the RB's compatible with MC 1.4, there are no errors when starting it up in terminal but when I put my ip in the server.properties and try to log into it on minecraft im stuck at a screen that say "Connecting to the server...". Can anyone help me?

You don't need to put your IP in the server.properties file, and which IP are you using to connect to your server? I was having trouble using my own external IP, but when I switched to the internal IP I never have that problem any more.

Find out your internal IP and try that (probably 192.168.x.x) or use localhost 127.0.0.1

@Troopah Rawr, EthernetHub beat me to it.

Anyway, when you configure the IP setting on the server you're only using a single integer to define which port to use. When you're running it on the same machine client, it's best to just not bother and use "localhost" when you want to join that server. So, try it out, let me know how it works.

Hey guys I just got the new build, and some of my plugins like worldguard are not working. Help?

Centribo · Apr 2, 2011

Actually to be more indepth about it, any mod that worked with tools (like teleplus, using item 288/feather to quick jump) isn't working. World edit and world guard re working, but things like super pick axe, region defining, region checking arn't wokring.

Is bukkit updated to Beta 1.4? I can't seem to find any article that answers this query. Also - how does one check one's bukkit version?

Centribo · Apr 2, 2011

Also, the concolse spits out "BLOCK DAMAGED" for all the plugins when attempting to load them, and some random stuff and some message "Is it updated?" But the plugins do load.

@EthernetHub @KoryuObihiro Whenever i put my internal ip in my server.properties, I get the error

20:20:55 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
20:20:55 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address
20:20:55 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

Maybe If I explain what happened since my first server It will help you, I used LogMeIn Hamachi to get my server ip (which is 5.187.227.234:25565) and I put it in server.properties and everything worked fine. I had all my plugins installed and I just got my first server running. Then the next day MC was updated to 1.4 so I had to update. I put my old server on a flash drive, I started a new one with I think RB 612. I used the same ip as before and everything worked. So I waited for plugins to be updated, but then I heard Rb 617 was out so I deleted the 612 server and tried to update to 617 on the same ip and that when I got stuck at "Connecting to the server...". So I tried to go back to 612 and 605 and the same thing happened again.

I'm not familiar with LogMeIn, what benefits does it provide for a Minecraft server? I might want to check it out

Have you tried connecting to your server using your internal IP in the game client and leaving the server.properties IP field blank? (just to see what happens, to help the troubleshooting process)

Also, can other people connect to your server? Or are you the only one having these issues?

KoryuObihiro · Apr 2, 2011

You shouldn't need to mess with the IP at all. The port, by itself, should work, since it seems already have it opened and were using it through Hamachi. Want to paste your properties file here?
