CraftBukkit 1.4.6-R0.3 is now available!

A new CraftBukkit Beta Build (1.4.6-R0.3) that provides Minecraft 1.4.6 compatibility and addresses issues found in the previous beta is now available in time for the holidays! Although Minecraft 1.4.7 is scheduled to release sometime after New Year's day, we've already fixed the issues it addresses in this beta. The previous beta contains a change that made a bug with enchantments being lost more noticeable and frequent. Upgrading to this new beta is highly recommended.

Will plugins break with this build?
Provided the developers of the plugins you are using are keeping up with the development of Bukkit, all your plugins should work fine, with the exception of plugins that use Minecraft or CraftBukkit code.

Important Note: this Beta Build contains a new safeguard to protect servers against unchecked and thus potentially damaging plugins. See the announcement here for more information:

What is a Beta build?
A Beta Build is in between a developer build and a Recommended Build. These builds simply work and are promoted much more frequently than a Recommended Build. While we will do some testing before promoting a beta build, we will not be running it through our extensive test process. As such, there are no guarantees that they will not contain minor bugs. If we do find out they are broken, we will mark it as such on DLB and promote a new one. A beta build may contain incomplete API and new features but they should not interfere with running the build in any way.

This particular Beta build, like every first Beta build for a Minecraft update, is primarily made available to help facilitate more testing coverage to bring us closer to a Recommended Build sooner. Please consider running this Beta build to give us a hand with discovering issues we need to address in order to reach a Recommended Build.

Known Issues:

• Monsters, villagers, etc. using portals (added in Minecraft 1.4) has been temporarily disabled.

Looking Good, Keep it up Bukkit!

 

hey i see servers running the 1.4.7 ....how do i get the 1.4.7 craft bukkit ?

 

Not really necessary. 1.4.6 servers work with 1.4.7 clients and vice-versa; there was no version bump. Plus, taken from the original post in this thread:

 

Maybe those are official Minecraft Servers.

 

1.4.7 clients can join 1.4.6 servers fine, so don't worry.

 

But seriously, though, it's been almost 2 weeks since this Beta build, and EvilSeph said "Beta builds until we're sure it is stable for casual server admins to use.", so is it stable to use or not? If it was, I'd expect a RB to come out soon. If not, I'd expect to see more dev builds. What's the status?

 

Is it possible that they are trying to clear the transport through portal issues?
(This does not affect me so I am happily using the latest dev-build).

 

Hi! I've looked into bukkit and it seems to be a nice server alternative with alot of plugins. I have the latest build and i cannot connect with 1.4.7 client :/ When will you release a build so 1.4.7 clients will be able to join?

 

Helicious, 1.4.7 clients are compatible with 1.4.6 servers. Make sure that you are, in fact, using 1.4.6-R0.3 by checking your startup log. If you still can't connect, create a post in the Bukkit Help section.

 

Ty for awnsering c0mp . Thing is i have tryed this one and i have tryed your 2 latest also R.04 but same problem. I did remove everything and i made the bat and got all files down from scratch and same problem. Ive changed the serverproperties file and changed online to false so cracked client can connect. It manage to work with original server but not your version. I will make a post there tomorrow so tired have been trying now for lots of hours and read alot.

 

If that's the case, don't bother creating a post. Cracked servers are not supported on the Bukkit forum, so you'll need to figure it out on your own.

 

Ok. Thank you for awnsering then i will go with the original client and test out the plugins. Thank you for the awnser.

 

Hello guys.
When a stable version 1.4.6 is expected (or 1.4.7)

 

Is 1.4.7 released? If released may anyone give me the direct link?

 

And again if you had bothered to actually read the first post in this thread you would know that updating is not needed.

 

great job but one question can you please encourage plugs that don't depend on so many permissions maybe default command and op command but make permisions optional would be nice being permission are so confusing and all again good job

 

Some plugins already operate this way, and I really see no reason why they should encourage all plugin developers to make them optional. If you're going to bother running a server, and for that matter are competent enough, you should be able to figure out permissions. They are not "confusing".

 

Ok well my peoples (lol) are about to hang me if i don't get them some 1.4.6 action. Is the latest 1.4.6-R0.3 well enough to run for a production? Ok we are not big time, 10-20 players but last time we ran a dev it had all kind of nasty bugs... stuff going into armor slots, etc..

My question is, is it stable, and what is not in it? I think i saw something about mobs disabled? Does that mean there is no zombies, creepers, etc? What doesn't work in the dev?

Thanks for help whoever replies!

 

There's something I don'T understand...

"On February 28, 2012, it was announced that the Bukkit team had joined Mojang to further develop the Minecraft server software and to aid with the creation of modding APIs."
If the Bukkit team is working with Mojang, Why does it takes so long to get compatibility for 1.4.6 and 1.4.7?
If you work close with Mojang it must be easy to get the news and to know how the pluggin will need to be updated for futur uses...

It's taking so long now... Havevn't got any stable built for so long

 

i can't dowload it.

 

Works just fine from my end of things.

 

They work at Mojang. Do you really expect them to develop Bukkit at the rate you'd like it be, next to their full-time jobs? Also due to the nature of Bukkit and the LGPL https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit-Bleeding/blob/master/LGPL.txt They can't reuse or move portions of the Bukkit code into the Minecraft server. Also no one ever said that hiring the Bukkit guys would mean faster updates.

 

I can dowload it now thanks cOmp

 

Basically another post to let others know that 1.4.6-R0.3 is safe to use as far as I can tell.

Our server is on the smaller side with about 30 registered players and only a handful actually on at any given time but I upgraded to 1.4.6-R0.3 and so far no game-breaking bugs or issues. There are a few plugin related glitches but those have been recognized and/or documented so we just deal with it.

That being said, a well-deserved and heartfelt THANK YOU to the Bukkit team for all of the hard work they do. As I remind my players every time there is an update from Mojang, we are getting this "labor of love" for FREE so please have some patience.

No less important, I would like to also thank the plugin authors who also do a tremendous job providing needed and/or fun to the vanilla experience; this is the list of plugins we use:

Appleseed
bPermissions
ChestShop
CommandBook
DeathChest
Flight
Giant_Trees
GodPowers
GravelClay
iConomy
Kivi
LWC
Mailbox
mcMMO
MultiInv
Multiverse-Core (w/ TuxTwoLib)
Multiverse-NetherPortals
Multiverse-Portals
Residence
SpawnCreature
TimeShift
VanishNoPacket
Vault
WorldEdit

 

I agree! Thanks ALOT

 

when will compatibility with 1.4.7 come out?! feed back much obligned!

 

Please read the main post. 1.4.7 clients can connect to 1.4.6 servers...

 

Every time i join it says that its an "outdated server"
