A note on 1.8
« on: September 05, 2011, 08:22:50 pm »
Looks like Mojang intend to release 1.8 this week (source) - Even if this isn't a serious post, the rest of this article still applies.

When 1.8 comes out, we will work as quickly as possible to update to it, however due to the massive amount of features added to 1.8 it is likely that this update may take a week or so to become fully functional. I say this because past updates such as 1.6 and 1.7 have been very buggy when they came out - basically unplayable. So if you intend to play SMP during that time, do not update!.

Secondly, because of the massive amount of changes in 1.8, it is very likely that there will be a map reset. This is because the terrain generator appears to have been heavily modified, with the additions of things such as rivers, oceans, better biomes, and so forth, which means it is likely that in order for these new features to come into affect, we will have to reset the map.

Feel free to post any questions or suggestions below.

As usual:

Cheers,
Optical.

We'll stick with survival for now, until we have that fully functioning and popular, before expanding into a creative or pvp beta server

The classic server pretty much serves as our creative server.

1.8 won't support the map.
