A while back I posted saying that Bukkit had gone all ridiculous. First Minecraft started enforcing the EULA, which effectively withdraws their previous support for modding. Then someone at Bukkit said they weren't going to be running Bukkit any more for this and other reasons, and then someone at Mojang said that Mojang had bought Bukkit ages ago and no one knew, including a lot of the people at Bukkit. So Mojang said they'd be working on Bukkit henceforth... Until a Bukkit person issued a takedown notice, and now Bukkit's properly dead because no one is allowed to work on it or publish it at all.
Our server is already set up and running Bukkit 1.7.9, the latest available stable build. So what this essentially means is, until someone makes a new modpack that allows for GriefPrevention and AutismChat, and until Adam then gets AutismChat converted to run on this new modpack, This Land will remain as is. We can't update to 1.8 and play with trampolines for a while.
We do still have access to all the plugins for Bukkit, and developers are still actively making new plugins for Bukkit, but there will be no major server upgrades.
On the bright side, there is Sponge. A group of awesome people is putting together a new modpack, and it's going to take a while but they're going to pay very close attention to licensing and it's going to be for 1.8 onwards. The name is awful, because it's impossible to effectively Google. But it's promising.
