    How backwards compatible are Bukkit Plugins?

    For instance, my server is running CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.6.4-R2.0-b2918jnks (MC: 1.6.4) (Implementing API version 1.6.4-R2.0).

    Will http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/dragoneggs/ be buggy? The last time it was updated was for version 1.5.1 Mar 23, 2013.

    Thanks

    Why don't you test it out yourself?

    The change log states it should work with all versions 1.5.1 and earlier. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/dragoneggs/files/12-dragon-eggs-v2-2-1/

    I am very new to minecraft and will have a difficult time determining the difference between an incompatibility bug and just my incorrect use.

    Is it typically acceptable to use older plugins on a newer server?

    Generally plugins should not break on future bukkit versions with several exceptions, so the best i can suggest is trying it out, if you get a bug, post about it here or report to developer.

    There was something with many plugins breaking in 1.7, because of a new handler for something though.
