Minecraft 1.8 is Here.

Posted: 14th September 2011 by novs12 in Minecraft Server

Yes, 1.8 has OFFICIALLY been released.

No, NOVSCRAFT is NOT updated to 1.8.
Which means you can NOT play on the server right now.

“Why isn’t the server updated, novs!?”
NOVSCRAFT is powered by a popular Minecraft mod called Bukkit.
Without Bukkit, there would be no such thing as Faction Wars.
It’s absolutely needed in order for any part of our server to function.
And Bukkit is ran by a big community of people who develop it.
In order for Bukkit to include all the new 1.8 features, the Bukkit team needs to update it with the new 1.8 release.
How long it takes the Bukkit team to do this may vary greatly.
It could take 3 hours or it could take 48 hours.
I believe the team said they are 66% done with the new 1.8 Bukkit.
But you never know, they may run into a horrible bug that blows up the main dev’s computer and kills him, meaning no 1.8 Bukkit.

You can stay updated with the Bukkit teams progress by stalking their twitter feed.

ALSO

If you haven’t updated to 1.8 yet then you can still play on NOVSCRAFT on 1.7.3, when it asks you to update just say “No.”
2 people have seemed to do that. And when NOVSCRAFT updates to 1.8 then you can just update your client at next launch.

Also also,

The world is likely to be reset, and by likely I mean definitely.
