Recommended Builds and Minecraft 1.0.0

I've been noticing a pattern ever since I came back to Minecraft. I notice the majority of mod authors are still using the 1337 RB Build and down, yet 1502 is the latest build. And for what I've been told, CraftBukkit hasn't been updated for Minecraft 1.0.0.
Then why is there builds for 1.0.0? Is everyone waiting for a RB or something to update their plugins?

Why even have an RB, when CraftBukkit HAS been updated for 1.0.0? Please, someone enlighten me.

There are dev-builds (development builds) because many of the builds have bugs, glitches or need fixing.
There will be a recommended build soon, and they need to perfect it before release. Many plugins will only update when the supported, recommended build comes out.

Ah. I see. That explains it. Thank you for clarifying.

Can we read anywhere which bugs are left ? So I won't pick a really awful one

Well, if we knew all the bugs, sure.

Best bet is to pick the latest one, since it is most likely to have the least bugs (though there is a chance that there will be some new bug introduced that hasn't been noticed yet). Looking at the bug tracker is the best way to determine what bugs people think there are (though since it was only just fixed it may be incomplete at the moment), and looking at the commit log on their twitter feed or github for seeing what they have fixed (though hopefully the issues on the bug tracker will be kept tidy and marked as fixed once they are).

And remember. REGULAR BACKUPS!

I have 1 question
Now latest ver server from Mojang is snapshot - 11w47a so... bukkit using this version or next snapshot? (in the future ;p)

//sorry for English

Respect

I doubt Bukkit will use any snapshots, only the current official release. The snapshots are the same as the prereleases for 1.9. Unsupported builds for people to test. Mojang isn't even guaranteeing that they will run, let alone be anywhere near stable.

Bukkit will only support builds of the server officially released as stable, which should be available from the minecraft.net download page. Currently the latest version of the server is 1.0.1, I would presume any bukkit builds will be the equivalent of that.

o Yeah... snapshot is unstable ... my fault

I w8 to RB for 1.0

how do i test out the Development builds because i just want to get my server up and running please help

You can grab a build here http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/
Just replace the old craftbukkit-snapshot with the dev-build.

when i replace it and try to start the server it says unable to access craftbukkit.jar

and i replace the craftbukkit file right?

I truly wonder how some people are able to maintain servers.

... the problem is i dont have any old craftbukkit-snapshot in my build...

The problem is you need to edit the launcher for your server, so instead of it saying "craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" it says "craftbukkit-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"

Lol.

We have to find a way to force the oblivious through a training camp, much like the methods employed by Stalin during the re-education era.

The problem is it requiring actual brains and common sense. People are used to this one click and it works shit.

Game built by a lazy dev, server built by random guys in there free time, 30 random plugins doing 30 random things, all built by random guys in their free time...... And they wonder why it doesn't "just work".

Combine that with various levels of reading/comprehension/English speaking ability and It is a recipe for... well... These forums.

A man with rationale. I am truly baffled because I rarely see any on here.

I am just trying to ask for help and yes I admit I dont know much about servers but my problem is here the only jar file is have just says craftbukkit and when i replace iut with craftbukkit 1.0.0 snapshot it says unable to read craftbukkit.jar

stability vs eager-teen syndrome

We've already addressed this issue earlier on in the thread, but we can't help you if you're unwilling to read through said instructions.

To the op the issue with people trying to keep update with all the dev builds is that its simply a waste of their effort in the long run. I wouldnt ask a dev to update his plugin 200times to keep up with the changes.

Reading the current dev builds though i have noticed that many of them are adding the features of 1.0 or improving them and at this point i wouldnt mind knowing how much they think they have left to fix. Just a estimate as to when they might be done with the 1.0 would be nice.

I dont mind waiting but i would love a rough guess as to how long ill be waiting for a rb.

And just to let you guys know, most plugins for 1337 (latest RB) work on the dev build, and even hero chat (only updated to 1060 or something) works on the dev build. (And some plugins have the option for dev builds, not sure if thats for the bukkit dev builds, but they work) and as proof I am running a server with 15 plugins on the latest dev build of bukkit and it is working mostly fine (a few glitches, like skins not working).

The dev builds for plugins are the developer's own builds for their plugin and has nothing to do with what bukkit release they are compatible with. Now then if I find a plugin is incompatible with bukkit I hunt down the dev build for it because sometimes those are compatible. I'm currently running dev builds for spout, lwc, worldedit, worldguard, and logblock. All are working well enough on 1.0.0 to not post a significant issue. In fact the only complaint we have at this point is a couple other plugins cause enchantments to disappear when we use them. That's about it. Note that we are aware of other bugs too but have been able to just overlook them as minor.

Guys, even if there's no RB out yet, CraftBukkit for 1.0.0 IS already working. We've (me and my fellow admins) done a lot of work on our test server this week, testing the latest CB builds along with the newest development versions of the plugins we use and yes, everything seems to be working just fine for us now.

For your information, this is a list of the plugins we have already gotten to work on 1.0.0:

AntiBuild
dynmap
Essentials
EssentialsGroupBridge
EssentialsGroupManager
EssentialsSpawn
HeroChat
InvTools
Lockette
LogBlock
WorldBorder
worldedit
worldguard

LOL, post #4 the OP acknowledges that his question was answered but everyone want show off what they know and now its on post #27.

Well ha ha to you Sir. Me posting was not "to show off", it was to try and shed some light to the situation for some people who still are curious as to CB's 1.0.0 maturity (what with there not being an RB for it yet). It is the idiot postings like yours that sometimes make me wonder why the plugin developers even bother with their work.

Your an idiot... and a moron
