Friendly reminder - 1.5 is slated to go live tomorrow March 13th (Don't update)

[kagato]

Just a friendly reminder, Mojang is currently slated to release 1.5 tomorrow (March 13th). That being said:

DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE

Just because Mojang releases an update it does not mean that the server-side of things will be ready to go. Until a semi-stable version of Bukkit is released, the server will remain on 1.4.7. As a side-note, I'd suggest making a backup of your current JAR file (actually the whole /bin subfolder would be best) just in case you were to accidentally click on the option to update now.

Bumping because noobs.

I'm in favor of keeping this on the front page.

 

[TheGurw]

I'll be updating like I always do...but only so I can do a final test on my improved mob crusher that hopefully will work on T9k.

Thanks to magiclauncher, I can keep both. Well, I could keep both before, but now it's easier.

Gotcha kagato, and bump so people keep seeing this, just in case people forget to NOT update :3

Any word on how we'll handle nether quartz?

Just a quick reminder, the server is allowing 1.5 clients, but only 1.4.7 features work. Quartz slabs can be placed because they share the same block ID as regular slabs, but a different data value. Also, shift-clicking is kinda bugged for the moment.

Believe we're going to effectively region a 512x512 area which will just have the chunks deleted so that they'll regen with quartz.

We've only been there less than a day, I think a total wipe wouldn't be that bad.

 

[StTheo]

So, um, are we able/going to update soon?

 

[Wooty]

Yes.

 

[StTheo]

Yes.

Awesome, thanks

 

[ChibaMasato]

Yes.

Any time slated for the server being officially 1.5.1 or are we still waiting on bukkit?
