Once bukkit comes out with a stable version, then it will be able to come out.

It comes out in ?? days, silly!

if bukkit has a stable 1.7 than MC will have launched 1.8 with the new blocks (stop updating so fast minecraft 1 update per 6 months is enough) and merry christmass to all

I've been playing on a full 1.7 server with bukkit for about a week now.  Flawless mcmmo, flower biomes, enchanted fishing rods, stable commands, etc, no issues whatsoever.

Wow, crashes every 5 minutes?  That must suck.  I can say for certain that it's not caused by bukkit, at least not solely.  I haven't noticed any problems where I've been playing for over 2 months now and with a successful map reset to full 1.7 almost a week ago.  We were able to keep the old map accessible while exploring the new map and finding a new home location after which the admin team moved all of our builds and chest contents.  All of our mcmmo levels were successfully carried over as well, with very few issues.

Even the second test build still have problems with crashes and worlds needing backups in extreme cases so I wouldn't really expect the first version to handle stuff any better.

Crashes every 5 minutes seems more related to that server admins faults than to bukkit itself, anyway.

Not to crash your parties, but I wouldn't feel safe with anything being dragged on from a patchwork/legacy version since any following fix could result in previous data becoming garbage (mmoskills, other stats, builds, extra blocks, etc).

Feeling unsafe isn't as bad as feeling bored.

Anyways, I've played on several mcmmo servers that have made the change over to 1.7 who have had no or minimal problems.

Yep and the one I've been playing on is sooo much fun.  They have done just about everything right.

This is what I want to hear! It's so close and yet so far away.
