Should I wait for 1.8 bukkit or just get a 1.7.9 server?

Should I wait for 1.8 bukkit or do 1.7 server?

 

In my opinion you should build yourself a nice spawn map and once you're done, check if the situation changed.

 

Just make a 1.7.9 server. Transferring from version to version is generally fairly simple.

 

I'd go for 1.7.9 and update it when necessary

 

It depends on how much the bukkit API will change, if you only plan on installing plugins like, world edit/guard, essentials, factions, and other popular plugins, you should be fine to start at 1.7.9, but there is a chance that 1.7.9 plugins that don't work on 1.8 wont be updated to 1.8. But the big plugins usually update, and besides, its not like removing a plugin is going to corrupt your world

 

Not this time around.. Don't you know dinnerbone is pretty much redoing bukkit from the ground up..?

 

CrystalxNeth No, you dont know it, since he didnt say so.

 

Necrodoom hmm?

 

CrystalxNeth
You must of misunderstood. The user is asking Dinnerbone why build a new API (For the official mod API) when you can use Bukkit's API. Dinnerbone replies with Bukkit is not good enough and he knows since he wrote it.

 

CrystalxNeth no, he is not rebuilding bukkit. He is making the mojang API.

 

Necrodoom Which means a whole new API which is why this user should wait until 1.8 because 1.7.9 will most likely be completely different rendering all of this guy's work useless eventually

 

CrystalxNeth bukkit =/= new mojang API.

You know nothing about how bukkit 1.8 will turn out.

 

Necrodoom Based on these last few months with Mojang I have a pretty good idea..

 

CrystalxNeth no, you don't. You speculate, and you assume. You don't know how bukkit 1.8 will turn up as, at all.
