OR. C) Have a serverpocalypse and then a.)

I pick d) Have a serverpocalypse with the latest snapshot.

Edit: I just realised that b) is basically d).

/me points out that B.) see what happens with the current world on the latest snapshot = See what happens with no plugins or protections of any kind and a whole bunch of barely civil human bein....er...crafters.

AS OF RIGHT NOW (the login server is up now, right?) YOU MUST BE USING SNAPSHOT 12w27a

Spoiler - snapshot stuff

• Performance improvements, including reduced CPU, RAM & bandwidth requirements.^{[citation needed]}
• Updated Pistons to make them less error-prone, thus they also appear to update slower. This also altered the way Pistons work, so you might have to adapt your repeater delays and similar.
  
  • For this change, pistons now take 2 redstone ticks (4 game ticks) to expand, but they still retract instantly.
  
  
• Added /debug command.
• Signs are stackable up to 16.
  
  • Crafting them now gives 3 signs instead of 1 with the same recipe.
  
  
• Creative mode inventory now shows potion effects.
• Boats now drop the boat item when destroyed by a player.
• Gaining experience from mining ore is now different for each type of ore (mining coal ore will give you the least amount while diamond ore & emerald ore will give the most amount of XP)
• Nether Wart can now grow in the Overworld and The End.

Nether Wart can now grow in the Overworld and The End.

alchies may now shed a single tear of joy.

also, since it's getting rid of plugin stuff, it's taking a while to delete the dynmap folder cause it's flippin huge. the server will be back soon enough, in all it's buggy vanilla goodness.

Do we download client or server?

EDIT: Tried to get server, I replaced the 1.2.5 Minecraft.jar with the new snapshot jar. When I run minecraft it says "Updating minecraft" and stops at 90%. I tried deleting the META-INF folder to, but nothing worked. Helpz?

Download only the client file and replace minecraft.jar.

Also, check the GDNVilla Library archive for goodness. ;)

Still not working. :cry:

I don't think that's supposed to happen:

Aha! Thanks so much Memo! :D

EDIT: Huh. Apparently it didnt update? It worked but the force update reverted it back to 1.2.5.

EDIT X2: Do I replace the files inside the new minecraft.jar or do I replace the jar as a whole?

force update copies all the current stable (1.2.5) files back into the thing, giving you a base to start from for any mods.

go into the bin directory and replace the minecraft.jar file. you shouldn't have to fiddle with anything in a .jar file.

Speedy I can't tell you how happy that video made me. <3

Sorry, but one more question; Do I have to replace (If so, how?) Or do I delete the old minecraft.jar and drag in the new one? I basically need to know how to replace the jar. Sorry for the questions, I just wanna go on the server so bad :cry:

either or. it should ask you if you wish to overwrite if you don't delete it. select yes.

and please give property owners the first crack at destroying their stuf.

Just drag the new snapshot minecraft.jar into your bin folder in the .minecraft folder. It should tell you that there is already a file with that name in this folder, and will ask you if you want to replace it. Click yes.

I got it to work. Here what I did for people with the same problem:

1. Force Update and then enter minecraft. Itll load a bunch of jars. Then exit minecraft.
2. Download the "client" for the latest snapshot.
3. Drag the new jar into the bin.
4. You should now have the old, fresh jar and the new fresh jar.
5. Drag the new jar into the old jar.
6. You will now have the new jar in the old jar if you open up the old jar with winrar or 7zip.
7. The new jar will be labeled "minecraft.zip"
8. Rename it to "minecraft.jar"
9. drag it back into the bin.
10. You should now have 3 jars. Delete all of the ones except the one you just renamed.
11. The one you named "minecraft.jar" should be the only one left. rename it to "minecraft".
12. Start Minecraft!

You're creating too many steps, and doing what you're doing can lead to bugs:

Don't open up the jars at all, just replace the old with the new and it will work.

I tried that first, but it got stuck on "done loading".

So I just started randomly messing with a bunch of crap :p

Sooooo.... Serverpocalypse is kind of sucking. Can we have a new world yet please? xoxoxoxo
