NMS versions

Hi, I have a pretty straight-forward question to ask. I don't typically use NMS or packets, but I've been wondering, let's say you have CraftBukkit 1.7.9_R1 or whatever. Would code still work with older versions of 1.7.9? I'm pretty sure it's a no, but I am just wondering.

 

Googlelover1234 you could make it work, till some extend.

 

If you used reflection, but reflection is slow on the VM and will decrease performance.

 

If your making a public plugin use reflection. If your just hardcoding for you server don't

 

rbrick

This.

Skionz

No.

Do this: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/support-multiple-minecraft-versions-with-abstraction-maven.115810/

Runs extremely fast and reliably, and does not break between versions.

 

;0 that looks nice! bye bye reflection! thx

 

Took me long enough to respond. Sorry for that. That actually looks pretty nice, thanks for this!

i used that technique (maven multi-module project) in a couple of my plugins. So I can share some more examples of it (if you were curious).

And yes, your plugins will break if Minecraft updates.

Those are 2 more examples for you. Also, the tutorial says to do version checking in your onEnable(), so here's a nice little library for that:

Look at the README.md, Examples sections. Good luck !
