1.7.3 Server until Bukkit fixes some stuff [Locked]

What's your opinion on what we should do with the MC server?

Leave it as 1.7.3 for now and hope bukkit can fix some of the problems described below.

Update it to 1.8.1 and just manually fix the chests, and deal with the door issue for now.

1.7.3 Server until Bukkit fixes some stuff [Locked]

Post by ant_8490 »

I put the lasted build of Bukkit on the server and the server plugins/addons work fine. Just a few bukkit-only/MC bugs that i saw. Such as dark/unlit chests, and a random door glitch, where u cant go through it sometimes. So for now the server will stay as 1.7.3 until they update it again, which shouldn't be too long.

If you REALLY need to get on the server, below is a link to the 1.7.3 files that I uploaded. Just extract the ZIP to your .minecraft folder.

To get to your .minecraft folder:
Win7/Vista: Start -> type %appdata% -> Enter -> Open .mincraft -> Extract ZIP here.
XP: Start -> Run -> type %appdata% -> Click OK -> Open .mincraft -> Extract ZIP here.

Door Problem:
For some reason, only on double doors, only the door that u hit to open (or the last door u hit, if u manually open both) will allow you to walk through. The other door (or first door u hit) will appear open but you cant walk through. (minor problem, but still playable).

Chest Lighting Problem:
All old chests from 1.7.3 will appear dark/unlit. Just add/remove a torch near the chest to reset the lighting, and that should permanently fix that issue.

Chest Rotation Problem:
All chests were rotated to the same N-S direction. Don't have a fix yet other than destroying/rebuilding the chest.

Im going to w8 until at least later tonight, cuz Bukkit is still releasing dev builds like every 30-60 mins lol. Maybe they will have a stable version out soon that will fix the chest/door problems, so we wont have to fix it all on the server.

yah that sounds good too, especially since now singleplayer is way more entertaining than it used to be since it now has 1.8, waiting for that shouldnt be hard

i agree, no sense in downgrading just to join the 1.7.x server, when it will eventually be 1.8.x soon.

I think that either is fine, but what will change if/when we go to 1.8? Would rivers and different biomes and all exist in the wilderness areas? Would their be the NPC villages or strongholds? How will this affect shops? Is there a risk of having our buildings destroyed if the server tries to rebuild (not the correct term, i forget it) the map to incorporate the changes? Things like that.

Sorry, I dont know a lot about this updating process and even less about coding and programming in general, if I'm asking dumb questions, sorry.

I put 1.8 on the test/copy of the 1.7 server and the towns were fine. I didnt check out the wilderness though. But the "new" stuff should only affect new areas of the map that have to be generated. Meaning, these were never explored areas, so it could be pretty far out from spawn.

Server is now updated to 1.8.1

Doors work fine.

If your chests are dark, place/remove a torch near it.

If your chests are rotated, usually right clicking on it with a torch or other object will reset its position. If you need help with something, let me or nick know.
