minecraft 1.3 wil be released on August 1, 2012.
Yeah, and it will break most of MCServer
From what I've heard, they changed the protocol pretty deep.
yea i saw it in wiki.vg
The most important change is the crypto stuff, the rest should be easy to adapt.
Do I understand correctly that the crypto stuff is used only for authentication, and that it can be skipped if the server didn't want to authenticate? That would ease things a bit.
Still, going crypto would mean finally we could get a https webserver for the admin interface.
No, all communication between server and client after the initial handshake is encrypted. This isn't optional.
you think the new creative inventory will be a problem?
Could be, depending on the protocol. If it's not designed well, we'll need to keep a list of items for each tab in the window. Other than that, probably no bigger problem.
1.3.1 is released
