Minecraft Beta 1.6 Released

Minecraft Beta 1.6 has just this minute been released out – see post from notch here.

This update requires both a client and a server update.

Remember though if you still wish to join my public Minecraft Server – Yet Another Minecraft Server (YAMS). Then you must NOT update! This is at least until the Bukkit Team have released a recommended Bukkit build for it and plugins are working again. Please see post below posted on forums here regarding this. As you could always update but keep a backup copy of Minecraft 1.5.

If you’ve been with us through the last couple of minecaft updates you know that we don’t always update YAMS at the same time. This is because it takes awhile for bukkit to catch up and make all the plugins we use work like they are supposed to do. So again this time with 1.6 being released soon we are going to hold back and stay on 1.5 in order to keep our protections in place. If you update your version to 1.6 you will no longer be able to access YAMS unless you can follow some of the previous instructions about reverting or having two versions simultaneously. There are several posts on this subject so you may want to read them before the update is released.

Also, I’m sure you are all curious about the nether and before you ask us a billion questions ;)I’d like to say the current concensus is that we are willing to try it! We will be testing out several different ways to make it work without letting it get out of control so please be patient with us and we’ll see what we can do!

As always, thanks for being a part of YAMS :D
