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.

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.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
