Minecraft 1.7: The Update that ~~Changed~~ Delayed the World

Hey all,

It is with regret to announce that the release of Minecraft 1.7 could most likely be on Friday (The date v6 was schedule to launch) we have decided it will be in the servers best interests to postpone the date of launch. We are not comfortable releasing completely newly coded plugins designed around 1.6+ on a 1.7 build, as this will not only require re-coding but also coding to account for the version changes and effects on our custom biomes. As well as this, we also have to wait for each plugin that has been created by developers from bukkit to update, which could also take some time.

This also create serious implications for our Noobsween Events. As we are clearly running out of time anyway (Almost end of October), the chances of a full scale Noobween this year will not be possible. However, we do not plan to give up on the event completely! there will still be small Noobween themed events running into November.

Again, we apologize for further delays. Quality over quantity! we wan't Noobstown v6 to launch safely and correctly and these are the necessary precautions we will have to take.

Information regarding the new release date will be announced as soon as possible.

Thank you,

This really sucks, wish they could've given it a little longer so we could have a taste of v6, it feels like it's not possible anymore, I'm excited for every weekend and it just seems to jump away that little bit further lol.

V6 just jumps away once you get close, like a rabbit...

Anyways, as you said Quality over Quantity, ill just play Terraria in the meanwhile, which I got 60 Hours in now, and I bought it last Wednesday... I need help ._.

This isn't all that bad.
Mojang is expected to release 1.7 just before the upcoming Minecon (speculations increased with the unusual Monday update this week) and it's way better to have stuff made for 1.7 directly instead of starting in 1.6.4 and upgrade again after a short while (that would be 2 weeks top, anyway).

No worries mates!

I know you all are working hard to make things happen.

Take all the time you need. I, for one, can wait.

I saw this today and was amazed with how quickly they are putting 1.7 out there. Seems like they just had 1.6.2....

FlammableCow800 · « **Reply #9 on:** 22 Oct 2013, 23:02:28 »

and as for 1.7 there always will be new releases for bugs about a week after a big thing like 1.7, 1.6, etc. which means if we release right after 1.7 comes out( a week after to update plugins) a new version will be coming out right after and well have to wait even longer for them to update plugins again.

Jackmwoodall14 · « **Reply #10 on:** 22 Oct 2013, 23:11:07 »

Aw, hopefully the developers go fast. Anyway at least the server won't have to go down a lot due to the plugins will work on all of 1.7+ without an update right? Also,

Portals can be bigger sizes!

Will we be able to have normal portals and bigger portals on our wilderness chunk too? And can we see another live stream soon, I would like to know what kind of changes you have done since the last stream

Maybe you should go look at the changelog before saying that each minor version (the number after the 1.) brings the same amount of changes.

Also, 1.7 is already downloadable.

As it's already downloadable and not released, that's probably good news, due to the fact developers have probably been typing away before the update, and who knows, the plugins are probably released as soon as 1.7 is out, therefore v6 will come even fast!:P

i meant every version like 1.6, 1.5 ended up having a change so it made it 1.6.2, 1.5.2, if that what u meant.

Are you kidding me... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT ANOTHER DELAY!!!! *goes on rage*

Well at least it wont be too long... an extra week at most...

And I was going to have Smith come over this weekend... turned out he couldn't come though, so it worked out for me somewhat. I'm sick of waiting, I just can't do Mineapoc... not my type of server

edixsabourin · « **Reply #15 on:** 22 Oct 2013, 23:24:16 »

...Well there goes Noobween

gamergirlxo · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 Oct 2013, 23:25:15 »

Well....this stinks.
Thanks for the update though?

Really, go look at the changelogs on the MC wiki and see for yourself.
The amount of "change" isn't even comparable.

They've changed most of the code making everything smoother, added shaders support, implemented an API to use third party assets, new netcode, new biomes, implemented a temperature scale for biomes... it's a different game.

Even if 1.7.1 were to come out next month (totally possible), it won't require a complete rework of the plugins.

then3verend · « **Reply #18 on:** 22 Oct 2013, 23:51:12 »

Not to kill the mood, but predicting 20 some people to rework the plugins in a week?
didn't it just take 3 weeks to test these plugins for 1.6.4?

it was only suppose to be one week but it turned out to be almost 2 months. I don't know guys I might not be comin back

You'd be more upset if the server opened on the same day and it had to be closed again due to bugs and glitches which affect the economy or something, leaving now would mean the time you spent waiting so far would be wasted, stick around a little longer.

You could go play on some other server that runs an older version that will never be updated or will be offline _next week_ for the same reson. Seems legit.

vepture · « **Reply #21 on:** 23 Oct 2013, 01:07:54 »

Almost, so close. Oh well, we will all be here waiting.

Xavier1964 · « **Reply #22 on:** 23 Oct 2013, 01:39:53 »

a delay? that stinks. but other than that. YEEEEES!! i can still make the next v6 release!!! lolol

Edit: THANK YOU NOTCH!!! lolol jk but i am a little unhappy that we have to wait longer but i am also happy that i have a chance to be able to get on the next v6 opening.

Edit: quick everyone. TO THE FORUM GAMES! lol

Just give it a little more time. Like Jay said it's better if they do it this way rather than open the server and then have all these bugs and have to keep closing down the server. We also have to keep in mind, and Foob has mentioned this before....this is their HOBBY and they do have school and lives...when the server is back up and running it will be better than ever and it'll be worth the wait. I'm sure Foob and the admins have something up their sleeves to make it up to us....I just have this hunch.

Hang in there!

then3verend · « **Reply #24 on:** 23 Oct 2013, 01:47:13 »

So, I'm left with a few questions,

I'm sure this was discussed among the admins, but seeing how the new minecraft launcher has made it easy to switch versions. What's the reason for waiting to release until 1.7 is released(which hasnt been confirmed, and the pre-release is still very buggy)?
If 1.7 isn't released this Friday then what will be the plan?
Can there please be an update when 1.7 is released regarding the status of what needs to be re-done?
