When will Bukkit be updated for Minecraft 1.6?

Staff Update - July 1, 2013:
This thread is not from 2013. This thread is about the 2011, BETA version of Minecraft 1.6. There is no ETA for the 2013 Minecraft 1.6 update, as always. Please do not ask staff about when an update will happen, as they have no estimate for you. Again, this thread is not relevant to today's update.

Update 2 - June 23, 2011 at 9:12PM EST:
New Recommended Build #928.

This Recommended Build addresses a few API issues and provides Plugin Developers with more events to work with, allowing more awesome plugins to be made. Unfortunately, this new RB WILL break some plugins (mostly plugins that deal with controlling a player's movement - details can be found near the end of this announcement). As always, please be sure to backup your server before updating just in case!

See this post for more information.

Update - May 30th, 2011 at 5:55PM EST:
Since the release of Minecraft 1.6, we've seen quite a few rapid-fire bugfix updates from Mojang addressing issues the community has noticed and reported back on. While we're glad Mojang are on top of things and getting updates out there quickly to improve the community's experience, this does result in extra work on our part since we have to re-do some of the work we've completed for the previous update. As a result, I made the decision to hold off on getting a build out for Minecraft 1.6 until we were able to evaluate the update and decide if that is what we feel we should do or not.

Over the weekend, that is what we have been busy doing. Unfortunately, I was out of town and unable to handle the situation as much as I would have liked, leading to a lack of communication on our part with you guys, our community. Nevertheless, my team was happily and diligently working on the update and in regular contact with me. Still, I would like to apologise for our lack of communication, I simply was not in a position to do so.

That being said, we have noticed a few issues with the update that we've been able to address, so we are leaning towards bringing out a build for Minecraft 1.6.5. Though this build may not address all the issues we've found, it is still usable and produces a playable server with a decent experience. However, I am not yet sure if this build will qualify for recommendation.

Please bear this in mind when using the build: it is not fully supported (though we welcome detailed, useful bug reports) and not recommended (we can't guarantee stability) to use. There are some Minecraft vanilla issues that Mojang need to address that are beyond the scope of our project to fix and we are still touching things up (like Nether/multiworld support).

If you want to use the build we'll be pushing soon, please backup your server and make sure you understand the risks before doing so. Once again, we cannot guarantee that it won't eat your cake or spawn tiny creeper babies that take over your world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I'm sure we're all aware, Mojang released Minecraft 1.6 today (Thursday, May 26, 2011) around 5AM EST and we've been hard at work getting a build out that is compatible with Minecraft 1.6 out. Since the release, Minecraft has seen quite a few small bugfix updates addressing some unnoticed bugs and we've pretty easily kept up with them. Unfortunately, there appear to be some issues with the update that is making the game unplayable for SMP players, so we've decided to wait for a bugfix update before we recommend any builds.

Will there be a CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.6?
Given the reports of showstopping bugs present in 1.6, 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 Recommended Build for 1.6 until we have something stable to work with.

That being said, we recommend everyone stay on 1.5 for a while until the showstopping issues are fixed and we can get a new, stable, compatible build out.

You can already get CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.6.4, but it is unsupported and not recommended.

I'll be scouring the internet for further reports on how Minecraft 1.6 is performing, but preliminary research and our own testing has revealed it as unplayable due to chunks sporadically loading or not loading.

 

Makes me wonder, does it generate a single Nether for all worlds or one ?

I have also noticed (in one of the earlier builds, turned it off after so can't be sure if it's fixed but I couldn't find it in the lists) that people are randomly teleported back, in some cases to other worlds, when leaving Nether. Which can be problematic if you have non-public worlds like myself.

 

i got this error too, after my pc creashed while the testserver was running, the fastest option for me was to delete the testworlds and use a backup

back to my problem with worldguard ... here is the post:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/se...n-with-blacklist-818.790/page-139#post-376393

 

Without reading through 34 pages, can some1 pls tell me hw many plugins this will break? I'm getting tired of updating them because of error messages spamming my log. Thnx in advance

 

Well, I'm no expert but this question sort of sounds like someone that does not want to study for an exam and just wants someone else to give them the answers.

 

are b860 plugins compatible with 818? or will i need to update?

 

I'm finding after a while that the server disconnects everyone and freezes, while seeing it's still running it's not letting anyone on, it's generally after someone joins the server.

::Edit:: Rolled back to 808 to see if there is any difference.
::Edit the 2nd:: No difference, as far as I can see there a chunk error somewhere... disabled Plugins still the same.

 

@Badzilla

Well... you could say that BUt wouldn't it have been easier to post just a yes or no?

 

No one, really? I thought this was a pretty hot topic. Well, only one way to find out..... Here goes! *downloads craftbukkit latest build*

EDIT: i just realized my ignorant attitude has pissed some people off, sry i didnt really read the whole thing

 

I'll Definitely take a look at the Chunk Generator Thing!

 

Recovering my old request that you might have overlooked:

I hope someone can help me with that... I'd be even thankful for an information like "Its a plugin problem" or "its a bukkit problem", so I know if I can spend my time on finding out which problem it is or if I just have to wait. I'd be very thankful.

Greetings,

The Gildur

 

Nevermind, seems it was the Dos attacks on minecraft.net causing it. All is fine now

 

Back up your data before updating anything and you will have a repository.
No one can post a repository but Notch.

I back up every single time from the first time I got burned and couldn't play for a week or two.

 

You picked an old post to dig up. The comment wasn't for me because I always keep a working copy before I update. It was for people who are using the old client or accidentally update.

 

Same here, no changes with 860 for me.

 

Updated to CraftBukkit 890. It broke the Stargate plugin (I get kicked for "moving too fast" when using ANY portal).

 

Updated to 897 now, still the same. I wonder when it's going to be fixed, it's annoying that I have to use slow railways because the portals have been rendered ineffective.

 

@OBattler - I'm using 860, absolutely no problems with portals, and I am using xCraftGate 0.6.1

 

I didn't have problems with portals in 860 either. The problems started after upgrading to 890.

 

860 is the latest recommended build. Try not to rely on the development builds, as they are generally unstable, as you're finding out.

 

fixed

 

What port are you trying to run it on? And is this the first time you've tried it, or have you run a server on your Mac before?

 

@nag3000
Try to stop java.exe It will fix that problem
Mac http://8help.osu.edu/1253.html

windows

1. Alt+Ctrl+Delete. (or right click on taskbar)
2. Start task manager
3. click on processes tab
4. click on java.exe then press end process

 

I had a very strange issue. I am running Build 890. It's nothing serious, but strange.
When I logged in today, my whole world had very dark green grass (you know, this kind of grass you only get in snow- biomes). Normally, it was a forest- biome. I heard some stories of people whose worlds were changed to be one huge snow- biome (by a plugin like MultiVerse), so I checked this with the plugin "BiomeMessage". It told me that I've been in a forest biome, like normal, so I just relogged. After the relog, everything was normal again.
I know that the grass- color is completely client- side, but I don't have any mods and only a normal- res texture- pack applied to my client. You know, installing a texpac for Minecraft on OS X is really easy, you just have to put the files into the folder with the minecraft app in it, you do not even touch the minecraft- files and this pack did no changes to the file defining the grass colors, either.
This happened the second time.
Could it be that the server sent some wrong Biome- Data? I don't know anything about this, I'm afraid.

 

Texture packs on all platforms are as simple as dropping a zip file into the textures folder. Why would you touch any of the jars in the first place?

 

Its not fixed. Happened to me many times now the last couple of days.

 

is the next reccomended build near release yet?

 

Hello, I noticed an issue on two different servers. When going from one normal world to another, MultiVerse for some reason fails to give the client the current world's seed, resulting in the client displaying biomes/weather/etc. according to the seed of the world I logged in at, rather than according to the seed of the world I'm currently it. Is there any way to fix it?
I'm using CraftBukkit RB 928, if that helpes.

 

Have problem with #928 there is missing chucnk at the spawn after restarting the server

 

Did it work before, and just start with 928? It's been a problem for me for quite awhile.

 

This happend only with #928
