As a pre-warning, the server software will not be updating to 1.8 as soon as it's released. The main reason for this is because we have to rely on several other parties for this update to be as trouble free as possible. I recommend that you all create a backup of your current minecraft, named "minecraft.jar.1.7". This name stops the jar from working, and technically keeps as a backup. If you upgrade, or want to join the server, you need to use this version. You can restore the version by making a copy of the backup, and renaming it to "minecraft.jar". The location of your minecraft.jar file varies on the operating system used:
Once Bukkit, and most of the plugins we have update to support the latest bukkit revision (which will likely be an updated version of 1.8 (1.8.1/1.8.2 etc), then I'll update the server. Unfortunatly my skills in Java are not that good to update the software or plugins myself, which is why there will be a wait. I will announce when the server update to 1.8 is final. Other than that, it's probably better to have multiple backups, and change between them on demand. |

New map when we update? If so, then we would have some randomly generated stuff to mess around with...and ravines. I love ravines |

Possibly a new map, it depends on what the community want. I can tell a lot of effort has been but into some of the builds, but then a lot of items have been gained illegitimately. |

I vote for a new map, but in the meantime I suggest that you make a back up of the map you have, then clear it and have a 100% vanilla server until the plugins get caught up. It lets people explore the new biomes and make a better decision on if they want the old map back or not. Just my 2 cents |

True, and in that sense, a completely pluginless version of 1.8.1 server is now running on hawknetcomputing.co.uk:5839. This server may not be up all the time, since it runs test builds of bukkit, which are updated often. |
