r174 is taking a while

r174 is taking quite a while... >_<

Because of all the plugins people are suddenly creating since I started this forum I decided to put player authentication in like the vanilla server does, otherwise there is no way to check whether the server admin really is the admin! Just like anything Notch created, it's a pain in the ass to get the authentication working

Also I got help from a friend that goes by the name Duralex on the interwebz, he's a really busy guy who's taking on three courses or something at once right now, so I'm really glad he wants to help me. Duralex is making the mobs more awesome and moddable. He created a base for the mobs which should make it really easy to create more complex mobs, however right now it's just a base and there are no functional mobs right now. Hopefully r174 will include some more (awesome) mobs.

Do you have any kind of idea when you'll be releasing this revision?

[FakeTruth]

Not really. I hope soon

[Tim]

I'm really looking forward to the next release though I hope the killer chickens aren't here to stay, they're terrifying, I had nightmares about them... With the new moddable mobs I foresee swarms of creepers! No house is safe!

Props to Duralex for helping out though moddable mobs will make this server even more excellent than the java server (I think it's footprint already makes it 3 times better). The ease of plugin writing is probably why the plugins are exploding since you started this forum, it's a really great interface, though obviously we need more hooks

Will the one hit blocks/water & lava damage be fixed in this release?

[FakeTruth]

One hit blocks will be fixed, this is a pretty big issue
Don't know about water and lava damage.
