  1. I have been on a few 1.7.2 servers running bukkit, and was wondering where they got bukkit for 1.7.2. I've looked everywhere, on GitHub, and dl.bukkit.org. So do you know where the download for that is? Or is it just for certain people? Thanks!

    Most of the time those servers are really 1.6.4 servers with the version changed to 1.7.2 so updated clients can join. Most servers likes to do that so they don't loose players. Those servers don't include anything new from the update, and has higher chances of crashes.

    I haven't seen a server doing it this update(barely been searching around) and I haven't done it to my servers.
     
  5. Oh, ok thanks! So I guess I don't want to do that to my server, since we want to use 1.7 stuff :D

    It's better to be patient, and wait for a stable, approved CraftBukkit build. I've been on servers that do that, and they can get pretty laggy, they are unstable, and the point of joining that server after an update is to test out the new features with friends.

    Why is this even a thing? Tweaking the protocol code to allow 1.7.2 clients to connect to a 1.6.4 server is pointless today. You don't get any of the new 1.7 features and the server is less stable. The launcher lets you play 1.6.4 alongside 1.7.2 anyway, so we don't even need to go through the hassle of downgrading the client like the old days. Is using a different client profile hard enough to cause players to bail?

    People do this to keep players on their servers. If players can't join, they will often try to find a different server.

    Actually, with the new network coding, I don't think that it would be possible.

    Wait for Bukkit 1.7 to be released.
