Bukkit is shutting down (Or not!?)

[Towelie]

Whelp... bad news.
Bukkit is shutting down. Read why in this post -> http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/bukkit-its-time-to-say-goodbye.305106/

I am literally at a loss of words.
I don't know what will happen to Minecraft's future or whether someone will continue but if not, we will be stuck on 1.7.9 forever.

Will post more as I find out

[brotherband]

Well, what happens now, Are we just going to be stuck at 1.9.10 forever or what?

[Towelie]

I really don't know

[SFT_Beast]

Oh god... Honestly this scares me for the future of SFT. If only Mojang didn't enforce the EULA then we wouldn't be stuck in this position.

Only thing we can do is wait and see...

Mojang is about to get a taste of their own medicine...

This isn't as bad as it could be, but it could easily get worse.

This IS what mojang wanted, Bukkit is the core of any functional MC server -- without it, realms is now the best option. Hopefully players realize the content Mojang adds to these 'updates' are nothing compared to what modders/plugin developers add. Actually, most of the "content" Mojang pushes to their client IS from mods.

Can't the SFT developers make a simple version or would this again violate the EULA. Because if they can't, it's the end of minecraft.

well shit

Would this be the same for Spigot as well?

Spigot uses bukkit sources to update so.. yeah.

[Towelie]

We'll figure something out, we always do.

[Pritis]

So, to me it looks like at least for now, SFT, along with pretty much every server out there has 2 options... Stay on version 1.7.9 or go vanilla. Honestly, if it were to stay on 1.7.9 I doubt anyone would play anymore because they'd be enjoying the newer features. While if it went vanilla then there'd be issues with griefing and stealing left and right and the only way to know is if someone says it happened to them in chat...

So... What? I guess we just stay on 1.7.9 and wait for Mojang to respond or something?
Also, do servers even really have the option to stay on any version of Bukkit?

Whatever happens, I'm confident SFT will make it.
I'ma go vote~

T'is GG. Mojang just gone even harsher.

Oh man i dont like this its sounds shit as mewie said:

well shit

[Brightpkz]

You never know, sometimes, change may be better! We just gotta face what's been put ahead of us with a bright mind and a big smile. Whatever obstacles there are, overcome it! Show Mojang the power of the people. Show them they cannot take everything away for money! Show them our mindset!

[ChoctheMilkman]

Does that mean he aren't completely screwed?

I started Bukkit, I'm going to personally see it through for 1.8. Updating it now
-Dinnerbone

Don't worry guys, Bukkit will still be going!!

[Towelie]

Summary: Bukkit is no longer shutting down and it turns out Mojang has been secretly owning bukkit for two years now. They will continue to update it. Not sure how to feel about this. On one side it's good that we still have bukkit, on the other side mojang can now practically ban any server they wish from Bukkit or even worse.

Oh well, its better then being stuck in 1.7.10 or going vanilla!
