  1. The title basically explains my question, how do I update my MC server and keep bukkit running?

    Thanks.

    You can't. Wait patiently for bukkit updates.

    You actually want to downgrade if you want to keep playing with bukkit.

    Updating the minecraft only is just a matter of downloading it from the website and running it.

    To update the client, download it on minecraft.net.

    To update bukkit, WAIT.
     
  6. I run a community server, should I tell my people to roll minecraft back so I can keep running bukkit?

    That is the best solution right now for keeping bukkit.

    depends on how many players you have, if you have 15 or less you can help them get a hold of an old minecraft.jar (at least for the ones that updated) but if your running 20 people + i would throw it over to vanilla, as long as your server isnt relying on plugins so heavily that it wont run for a few days without them.

  10. We are under 20, I don't know exactly how many on a regular basis. As a community leader, this is why I hate updates. Updates break things.

    Breakage will be far less once we have an official mod API.
     
  12. That is very true.

    So I downloaded the newest minecraft_server.jar file, uploaded it, set the command start line to point to it, but now it won't connect. Times out. Arg.

    That's strange if you run craftbukkit previously. If not it's firewall, if you did check the ip in settings.
     
  14. Sorry Plague, it was the hosting company. They took the server down to update it without telling me.

    im confused so to make ur surver run beta 1.3 you just wait for a build that has 1.3 in it or do you have to download somthing and where do you put it iv had a surver for a week and havent run into having to update yet and it says theres a new save file configuration how do i convert my survers world. right now im still running beta 1.2_01 and i can still join (i didnt upgrade) the friends i know personlly on my surver cant join cus they upgraded and cant join even when i told them not to and to downgrade and how to do it via email. >_< so how to i upgrade the minecraft version that my surver hosts.

    If you stay on 1.2 you don't have to convert your world. If you upgrade to 1.3 it will be converted automatically.

    If you'll update to 1.3 bukkit and plugins will not work!

    You update by downloading the new server from minecraft.net, but it is not bukkit, that will come later.

    in the place where you put craftbukkit, but you run minecraft_server.jar instead.

    Don't worry eventually everything will be updated.

    Wait this whyt we discussed is how to upgrade 1.3 without bukkit you know. When bukkit is ready for 1.3 you'll need only the new bukkit, not minecraft_Server.

    if newer cb builds have newer minecraft versions inside them why downlod minecraft surver.jar cus bukkit wont be compatible unless it already has it inside which makes no point to download it

    --- merged: Feb 23, 2011 2:24 AM ---
    all in need to do to upgrade to 1.3 with bukkit is to wait for bukkit ot be compatible and download a new build with 1.3 beta in it is what i understand :D
