Does this mean the end for Bukkit? Or just a really long delay.

 

AFAIK:

Mojang own Bukkit

Dinnerbone has already stated he will personally update Bukkit to 1.8

Bukkit will not however become the fabled Minecraft API

 

As for how long, that's anyones guess.

1. EvilSeph, the lead of Bukkit quit and announced that Bukkit was ending. Mojang stepped in and said that he has no right to do so as they own Bukkit.

 

2. Dinnerbone stated he'd update CraftBukkit to 1.8 himself. Which he cannot legally do now (see #3).

 

3. Wesley Wolfe sent Bukkit, Spigot and GitHub a DMCA takedown request for infringing upon the GPL license his commits (dating back up to two years) to Bukkit are under. The Bukkit project is used with CraftBukkit which is licensed under LGPL and includes proprietary Minecraft code that legally cannot be used in conjunction with Bukkit due to GPL requiring everything it touches to become GPL (it is known as the cancerous license for a reason).

 

4. The repercussions from this was simple: bukkit.org and spigotmc.org were forced to remove their downloads for any CraftBukkit related material. GitHub also took down the CraftBukkit repository and all affiliated forks of it (including Spigot).

 

5. Now almost all communities (Bukkit, Spout, Forge, Spigot and Cauldron members) including their respective leaders (sans Bukkit's) are taking part in a new solution called 'Sponge' that will be based on MinecraftForge and will be using SpoutAPI as a reference for the new API.

 

You can join #sponge on irc.esper.net for more details on that. This is a big thing, there has never been a time where so many split groups have come together for a solution. This will not be an overnight project obviously and will take some time but will finally resolve the giant gap that existed between Forge and Bukkit users.

 

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to make sure people got some accurate information on the subject. I've been following it closely being an older Spout team member and ex-Bukkit staff member.

Um, I appear to have a missing chunk in my home.

2014-09-07_11.35.54.png

 

This isn't good. Worse yet it seems the server thinks it's still there. I'm now stuck in an invisible area, unable to move. :(

There are more missing chunks, within the spawn fortress for one.

 

One explanation: Last night the server MC is running on must have crashed. I couldn't remote in then, so figured I'd look again this morning.

 

When I did I was greeted by Server 2012 asking me for a reason for the unexpected restart.

 

It looks to me like the MC world was corrupted by the Windows Server restart. Worse, we have no backup of the 1.7 world.

 

Any suggestions how to proceed?

Being that there are no backups, How many errors are there? is it worth it at this point to just restart the server again?

A reset is the last resort. I'd rather not have to resort to it, alas, there are enough massive chunk errors near spawn to warrant a reset. :/

we can always try to manually re-generate those chunks and then just play it off as a meteor strike

i like the idea of making it 100% vanilla (easier to deal with) probably go with 1500 for the world border and then just go with it. we do not have that many people playing any longer so i dont think we will need a world much larger than that.

 

I would keep the current white list though.

I've been playing a lot of single player lately so I'm not as opposed to a reset as I used to be, I miss that spark of exploring the new world. I'd say +/- 2k that seems to be the most people have travelled so far (baring a few exceptions)

World border 1000, expansion 10 blocks per week.

I'd go with 1500 as well. I had a small server for the 1.8pre builds, with a 1000 border, it's not as big as it first feels. Although I do agree that we should have a border, takes the pressure off the server a little.

 

Oh, and definitely no to large biomes. ;)

After surveying the damage of the old world and noticing that we didn't have any backup of the 1.7 world a server reset was unfortunately inevitable, as much as I hate to admit it. 

 

The new world is survival only. World border active; at the start it's 750 blocks in each direction. 10 blocks in each direction will be added each week.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      That's (at least partially) on 7-zip; Nanazip (7-zip fork) adds itself properly to Context menus.
    • Ads have been turned off in the forums

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We have disabled advertising in the forums for now for an undetermined period. If you feel like you get a lot of value out of the site please do whitelist ads on the news articles, and/or consider getting a subscription, we offer two tiers, one at: $14 per year (support the site for just over a dollar a month) or the $28/year tier (just over $2/month) that disables advertising and affiliate link tracking throughout the site (so also on the news side). We also have a 'Buy us a coffee' page if you just want to make a one-time donation. I am not mincing words when I say it is becoming harder and harder to monetize publications like Neowin, it's a fact of life that when we can no longer afford to pay for everything we'll go like many other sites already have. It doesn't have to cost you anything There are other ways to support Neowin too, like posting on topic content in the forums (technical support/questions/helping others) and sharing our news articles.. this costs nothing but your time and is just as important as subscribing or making a monetary donation! Anyway thanks for your time and continued support of Neowin. Now in our 26th year, and hopefully many more! For all the lurkers out there that whitelist us, make a free member account, and see fewer (only inline) ads on the news side  
    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
