Will the server ever update to the latest update. Not the snapshot since most players do not use it cause they bug out a lot of the time and lag some computers, but the actually 1.8 update has been out for a while now. I hate coming into the game, wondering if you have updated it yet. I know that I cant complain about it much cause you may have other important things attracting your attention or your just not interested in updating. I'd suggest updating just so you can get some new players possibly and some unique builds being made with the newer blocks.
there needs to be a server api for 1.8. there wasnt any until recently, aqua stated that bukkit updated surprisingly but it breaks all our plugins according to him. dont quote me or him on that, i may have misunderstood.
