An official Bukkit Server?

It would had to be running 1.8.8 but Bukkit is dead I guess. They can't use Spigot can they, it it's Bukkit's official server??

 

@ZP18 and @timtower we should have a portal only staff can use and we test plugins on it

 

Is anyone hosting this then, I have a server that I wouldn't mind being used as an 'unofficial/official bukkit server'

Its not popular but has everything installed so if this idea is going forward I can host it.

Edit; I am going to make my server an 'Community Run Bukkit Server' now, will need some help starting it all off though, got some ideas for stuff already, posting a thread asking for help

Edit; I have posted my thread about this; http://bukkit.org/threads/not-my-idea-community-run-bukkit-server.388833/

 

This would be awesome, a server mainly for devs.. and the Bukkit community?

 

Oh ok

 

@DanTDM2727 I think that it would be a bad idea to have everyone that is admin and higher have access to FTP. Especially based on how many admins it would have. I agree they should possibly have access to the panel for starting and stopping server, but only admins that have shown how mature they are.

As for the server address (The IP is a set of 4 numbers) it would be an absolutely horrid idea to have a ddns.net subdomain, or basically any free sub domain. It would have to be done right! For instance, I have a YouTube channel called "TheMineShack". I could get a free sub domain like themineshack.ddns.net or buy my own domain (themineshack.net) and set up the DNS myself, so people can just my server with "server.themineshack.net". Which looks more professional and welcoming of the two? Probably the second one. A server address like mc.bukkitcommunity.net or something like that would be a very good idea

The server definitely needs a lot of thought, especially the type of server it'll be, as it shouldn't be just another shitty Factions/Prison/KitPvP/Hub server. It should have a unique idea, or at the very least an idea that isn't completely overused.

 

so does that mean all the members on bukkit who want to help can be the only that are staff

 

If you want... I know someone who works at mojang and I could ask them if they could work on it to update it to 1.8.8

 

What are you referencing when you say "it"

 

@Rege Update Bukkit? Grum has already talked about this in IRC. They were working on an update and iirc weere about half way done then the DMCA hit.

 

Oh ok.
I still was talking to this guy and he said that minecraft does not support modding so probably not. However I sent him another email, just waiting for a response

 

@Rege TL;DR Mojang supports modding when its convenient. Remember that Mojang havent acknowledged the existence of bukkit for multiple years.

Mojang will not release any sort of Bukkit update.

 

Tbh, staff wouldn't be much of a problem. Developers are mature staff, especially the experienced ones. You can see by the way they act and write at this forum. Plus, the bukkit community has never got something back, money could go to the hard working people

 

@DoggyCode™, honestly, money should go towards the server. People would spend too much time arguing about payouts.

 

@Tecno_Wizard 100%.
