Quote:Is there a backup plan in case Bukkit is no longer a thing?
Aye, we're working on a backup plan already. I plan to start testing Forge this coming week as a first step.
Truth be told, CraftBukkit haven't been doing well for as long as about a year. A great part of what originally spurred the creation of the Alroc map was the problems Bukkit faced when 1.7.0 was first launched. We were going to scrap Ravenna, but 1.7.0 and the problems Bukkit faced kick-started the creation of Alroc in a hurry. Once we knew Ravenna was still gonna make it we slowed down the pace a bit, but that Bukkit struggled to keep up never changed. So we've had the thought and discussion up several times already.
Quote:Do we have a plan for the plugin side of things?
First and foremost we look for excisting plugins if we need new ones. Lastly, we try to do it ourselves.
I'm gonna be honest; I don't look forward to having to make the plugin in the sense that I'm already very short on time and had planed the rewrite and next update of the Lore as my next big project. To what extent we can, we'll use existing plugins. A customized plugin(s) will be made if there is time and need only.
