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.

[xoft]

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.

[cedeel]

No, all communication between server and client after the initial handshake is encrypted. This isn't optional.

[NiLSPACE]

you think the new creative inventory will be a problem?

[xoft]

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.
