Is the edugeek minecraft server working correctly? I was on last night and played for a few day/night cycles but no monsters appeared during the night. Also no CLI commands seemed to work?

 

Has anybody else noticed this or is it just me?

I believe another patch may be due soon. Commands were working for me though.

I updated us to the latest server and I can confirm monsters were spawning when I was in.

Thanks ZeroHour, I will log back in tonight and give it a test.

Tnx alot for loading a backup, Zerohour

 

Someone just died rigth before resetting server, but it was not me or the other guy.

There was a ton of resorces on the ground.

Have been playing for 3 hours, and did not see anybody log in, and have sleept true nigths in bed. Just weard.

 

Someone on server also like to blow up my houses, and steal stuff.

Pleace tell me if anyone know ho it is or catches them.

Please could everyone message with their relevant minecraft usernames.

I am looking through logs and some people have got some warnings for illegal actions linked to their names.

It appears we have had a spate of raids/destruction on the server.

[ZeroHour]

Minecraft whitelist mode will be getting turned on very soon, if you have not posted or PM'ed me your logins you wont be able to login

 

This is due to more randoms destroying stuff on the server, I suspect the googles have provided our servers details.

Ouch, that's a massive roll back ZH

[hallanalla]

Had to be done, to many peoples with lack of respect for others.

 

Whitelist is the only way to go.

Foolishly upgraded to 1.5 tonight without thinking. Plans to patch the server ZH? lol

[TechMonkey]

Same here. 3 servers I was locked out of. Not impressed

I am looking into it but it may be a little based on:

As is the case with every Minecraft update, we saw our usual influx of extra traffic from people wondering if we have a build of CraftBukkit working with the Minecraft update seconds after release (seriously). Usually, you'd see a pretty standard post from me stating we're working on an update and providing the usual advice that you aren't forced to update. However, this time there was a distinct lack of communication from the team regarding the status of the update, other than the usual "we're working on it". Couple this with the slow development occurring lately and we can forgive people for posting the expected "is Bukkit dead?" or "what's going on?" posts. I hope this post will explain everything.

 

Will there be a CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.5?

Given the reports of showstopping bugs present in 1.5, there's a high chance a new bugfix update for Minecraft will be out tomorrow or even several times this week. As a result, it is unlikely we will be releasing a 1.5 compatible build and, instead, will be waiting for something stable to work with.

 

Due to the nature of the project and the methods we use to provide Bukkit for Minecraft, any update - no matter how small - requires us to figure out the mapping of obfuscated classes and update our code. This takes a lot of time and work, so hopefully you understand our decision.

 

Having said all this, we recommend that you stay on 1.4 for a while until the patch storm subsides if your server depends on Bukkit.

 

Further, I wanted to apologise for the lack of communication regarding this update. I was really hesitant announcing this since it would only serve to disappoint and annoy people, however, I noticed quite a few supportive comments on here and IRC that pushed me to post this announcement because the people that have supported us through everything deserve it.

 

Why are things so quiet? Why is the update taking so long?

Before I answer this, I think it is appropriate to cover what usually happens when we're aware of an update coming soon. Whenever we recieve word of a Minecraft update (which, contrary to popular belief, is generally the same time as everyone else), we place all development in the Bukkit project under a code freeze to prepare for the update and make things easier. That being said, last week thursday we were expecting a Minecraft update and appropriately placed the project under a code freeze. Unfortunately, the update was delayed and pushed to the next week, resulting in a much longer code freeze than normally occurs. Naturally, this lead to activity within the project seeming critically lower than it really was and prompted some people to post the inevitable "what's going on?" thread.

 

On top of the code freeze, we're working on some larger changes to Bukkit or CraftBukkit that require quite a bit of time to complete and will only be commited to the public code when they are ready. Quite often you'll find that, while you don't see any updates, we definitely are still working hard programming awesome things and appreciate your patience and support.

 

So why is this update taking so long? After we had updated for Minecraft 1.4, we came across some annoying chunk related issues and bugs that were incredibly difficult to pinpoint due to confusion with the new obfuscated names mappings (d -> c and c -> d). Naturally, these kinds of issues were unacceptable for the project and we immediately got to work on improving our update process to avoid issues of this nature in the future. While I think we can all agree with this decision, the unfortunate result is the delay we're currently facing since we're not yet done improving the process. The good news is, we're nearly done improving our update handling process and the wait will definitely be worth it come future updates.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Something I've just found not tried it or scanned it with anything.

Looks like 1.5 requires a restart every time I add someone to the list... you should be good to go now though.
