Solved Where to get CraftBukkit 1.7.9?

Hello! I recently accidently deleted my craftbukkit 1.7.9 Bukkit API....stupid decision....is there anywhere else I can download it??

 

@frogman6102 Well
a) You can't.
b) CraftBukkit isn't the API. It's the server and implementation of it.

 

@frogman6102, the bukkit jar is still in this site's repo. The actual craftbukkit though, that you can't get legally.

 

Just google Spigot and move along

 

@nj2miami Because CraftBukkit got DMCA'd, it is illegal to distribute the jars.

 

@teej107

Not quite, look at his post.

 

Just use the spigot 1.8.
#DMCA

 

That is not true. Legality is determined by courts not notices.

 

I'm creating a plugin for a CraftBukkit server. A Spigot plugin won't work.

 

@frogman6102 Spigot is a fork of Bukkit. Bukkit plugins work on Spigot servers.

 

@frogman6102

Spigot implements the Bukkit API....I don't think you know what you're talking about.

 

No...I'm creating a plugin for a craftbukkit server, not a spigot server. And, on a side note, is it or is it not illegal to distribute the jar files??

@frogman6102 If you create a plugin for a CraftBukkit server, it will work on a Spigot server. This is because, as mythbusterma said, Spigot implements the Bukkit API.

 

@nverdier So if I just use the Spigot it'll still work on a CrafBukkit server?

 

@frogman6102

In theory, yes.

 

@mythbusterma Ok, thanks!

 

Yes. As long as you use Bukkit code only, and not Spigot's. By "not Spigot's" I mean, Spigot contains methods that Bukkit doesn't, e.g. Custom events.

 

@KingFaris11 Anyone know where I can get the Spigot API for plugins? I tried downloading the BuildTools.jar and adding it as a library but that didn't work? Never used Spigot before :/

Also is it illegal to download the CraftBukkit jar from alternative places? Such as if someone posted it to MediaFire??

 

@frogman6102 That is not legal.
