Hey Guys,
You've probably all noticed that the Bukkit team's been dropping like flies and that Bukkit won't be updating to 1.8, which is a pretty devastating blow to the Minecraft multiplayer community - Some people are already starting to create alternative APIs but I'm not sure how well they'll work (some run on Forge which is more for mods not plugins).
Anyway, bad news aside, let's get some good news!
I've been trying out the new 1.8 version of Spigot for the last two days on Legit, and it's worked pretty well. We've used it before on the old (first) RP server, and it's basically a server program built on top of Bukkit but with extra features. They released a patcher file to avoid DMCA takedowns, and patching a 1.7 jar allows 1.8 and 1.7 users to join the server. For now, Spigot is available on Build1, it performs just like Bukkit did and all the same plugins are available, but now 1.7 and 1.8 users can login. Of course, no 1.8 items/blocks can be used, but Spigot hope that the current version is a temporary solution until they can get a fully working 1.8 system.
Secondly, Legit is now running Vanilla Minecraft 1.8. Seeing as you guys wanted 1.8 worlds, Spigot wasn't an option, but I'll switch it over once it becomes an option. It's not currently whitelisted but I'll start creating a list and add it soon.
Spigot seems like the best option for now, it supports all Bukkit plugins which is a huge plus over other APIs that are emerging suddenly.
Happy Playing!
