Prevent 1.8 clients from joining?
#21
Sorry for bringing this topic up again, but I need some help. After updating my server to the latest MCServer version today, 1.7.x clients have started crashing when joining. The crash message:
Code:

Is there any way to block 1.7.x clients from joining the server, or solve this problem in another way?

Right now it is unfortunately impossible. However, it should be rather easy to write a plugin that kicks out clients with unwanted versions.

Did I say it'd be easy? Just wrote a quick plugin that should work for you:
https://github.com/madmaxoft/SingleClientVersion

Install it as usual, enable it on your server; upon load, it will create a SingleClientVersion.ini file, edit its contents to change the allowed client version, reload plugins to apply the changes.
I know the plugin's a bit raw, it has no description, no help, no user-friendly interface, but it's the very guts that can now be improved by anyone else.

Thank you very much for this plugin! It seems to work fine.

Why block them? The crash was a completely intended feature, it even says so:
