Minecraft 1.2.2 is out!

I will keep this forum topic updated with any news you need to know regarding YAMS and Minecraft 1.2.2.

If you update you won't be able to get back on the server unless you downgrade with tools and other such means.

Features include:

• New jungle biome
• Added ocelots
• Added cats
• Added iron golems
• New AI for mobs
• Tame wolves can have puppies
• Villagers will have children if there is room in their village
• New map height limit (256 instead of 128)
• New items and blocks
• Doors have been updated so that double-doors work better with redstone
• Added rare drops for mobs
• Many other minor tweaks and fixes

In addition, the Minecraft launcher has been updated. The new launcher should properly select 64 bit Java installations for Mac OS X users. If you haven’t downloaded Minecraft yet you can grab it here: www.minecraft.net/download

It went from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2. to (now) 1.2.3 in one day! Just fixing bugs and stuff I know. I'm a newb and updated without understanding it would prevent me from logging into YAMS. Since the Bukkit team has joined Mojang, I'm hopeful it won't be too long before I can log in again! (I can log in from my laptop, which I didn't update, but that's a pretty laggy experience.)

Question: Which of the added features will be available in YAMS? I understand we won't have jungle biomes because our biomes are already set. Will we have the new map height and all the other features?

[MadRAD]

The only thing that will be a slight problem will be the cats as they wont transfer over the worlds

@ Austin Try to take the . bin Folder from %appdata% In the Run and replace the 1.2.3 version with the 1.1 hope this helps

Height depends on needs... for example it may come in handy when I want to build one of my community projects to start, such as an airship! Or for example various events we have done in the past... even simple things like skydiving. but for the most part we havent needed it so far and we are not a skyscrapper creative server so yep lets wait and see. Jungle biomes will be available in mining world remember!

Yes but we have darrens pet shop soon...

Darren, is the server working with 1.2.3 then? :s

[darrenstraight]

No not yet I did say id let you know when it is, remember I ddi pm you saying last time was few weeks.. its been anywhere from a few days to a month before! Not much I can do about it Im affraid, its out of my hands.

Latest update from the Bukkit team:

A new CraftBukkit Beta Build 1.2.3-R0.1 (#2034) that provides Minecraft 1.2.3 compatibility is now available. As always, please remember to backup your servers before updating, just in case.

Will plugins break with this build?
Unless the plugin developers of your plugins have been keeping up with Bukkit development, plugins will most likely be broken due to the recent optimisation and cleaning of our code.

What is a Beta Build?
A Beta Build is in between a developer build and a Recommended Build. These builds simply work and are promoted much more frequently than a Recommended Build. While we will do some testing before promoting a beta build, we will not be running it through our extensive test process. As such, there are no guarantees that they will not contain minor bugs. If we do find out they are broken, we will mark it as such on DLB and promote a new one. A beta build may contain incomplete API and new features but they should not interfere with running the build in any way.

So can we move over? Not quite yet.... I will be doing some testing however as I suspect quite a few of the older plugins we use will now be broken and wont be updated... I'll keep you updated as always.

Remember if you're in Sandbox, see sandbox topic in news, you have a few hours left if you dont want to get evicted!

[kcagnolatti]

I already updated and I cant get on

[Calisurf]

@Kcag Then use MCNostalgia. I have updated many times to play multiplayer jungle survival.

[darrenstraight]

Been a few days since an update, so here we go:

Bas news is bukkit isnt updated yet... there are some dev builds/beta builds but a lot of plugins don't work so I'm waiting a little bit longer, last time we did move over to a dev build instead of a recommended but plugins were working fine back then, all plugins broke with this build and some wont even be updated anymore so I will have to find new ones, I'll start some testing this weekend.

Good news however is that mcnostalgia is now updated so you can downgrade from 1.2.3 to 1.1 Check out here:

[darrenstraight]

Ok so some plugins work now that have been updated and some dont on 1.2.3, for today Im not going to spend any more time on testing plugins until things have settled down with bukkit + plugins. Hopefuly there will be another beta build of bukkit (server software) soon instead of dev build which are unstable.

[darrenstraight]

So again another sunday and the bukkit team released another beta build, however things are still there yet!

I will wait till the middle of the week or so and try the latest dev build and see how things are, hopefuly by the weekend we may have another beta build which will be closer to a recommend version. If thats the case then we could have a go at it but thats only if all plugins work which right now they dont!

As always I'll keep you updated.

Thanks,
Darren

[darrenstraight]

Sorry not much updating news to report, I was hoping Bukkit would release another beta build this weekend however nothing's surfaced as of yet.

As always I shall keep you updated when I hear anything as I really want to move over to 1.2, but I won't do it until I know it's more stable.

Thank you everyone for your patience.

So 1.2.4 may be out this Thursday and were not even on 1.2.3 yet, whats interesting is the list of bug fixes done by the bukkit team, I guess conflict of interest may be at question here as they are now employed by Mojang so their priority is what Mojang needs not Bukkit, but who know maybe this may help get bukkit out soon if not for 1.2.3 then for 1.2.4.

Also 1.3 isnt too far of they say...

Here’s the list of changes so far for 1.2.4:

Bug fixes by the bukkit team:

• Fixed godmode exploit
• Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% CPU
• Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there's blocks at max height

• Fixed incorrectly swapped en_GB and en_CA language details
• Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
• Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
• Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
• Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
• Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
• Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
• Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
• Fixed the "flickering" of chat as it vanishes off the screen
• Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
• Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
• Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
• Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
• Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
• Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can't survive
• Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on.
• "save-all" (server) now works even when you have toggled "save-off"
• Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you're standing on them
• Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
• Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession

Added:

• "Back" and "Quit" buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
• Made cats more realistic
• Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
• Added a "minimal" debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs
• Added 2 new Heiroglyphic textures to survival and creative
