If you cannot use the API, then you should contribute one, or at least open a feature request stating the API desired and why you need it. As a developer you should use the API wherever possible - a stable API is what distinguishes plugins from mods. Doing this once is much more efficient than depending on an update every release. As a server owner, if a plugin is breaking on Minecraft updates, you should be encouraging developers to code their plugin in a way that it does not break (read: use the API). With the exception of plugins referencing removed biomes/particles and changes to third-party libraries (especially MySQL), there are no breakages expected. There are however still some significant changes, particularly around world generation and biomes, so some initial caution is advised. Owing to the shorter interval between 1.17 and 1.18 this is a smaller update than previous major releases. A BungeeCord update is not required.Įdit (9 December): 1.18 is now the default version.Īs we mark the 9-year anniversary of, it is my pleasure to announce that development/preview builds of Spigot for Minecraft 1.18 are now available. Please check this thread regularly for any further updates.Įdit: 1.18.1 is now available with -rev 1.18.1. We are not currently aware of the exploit having any possible permanent effects on your server if you are/were running an up to date version of Java (any version from the last ~ 3 years, including Java 8 updates released within that timeframe). It is also highly recommended you update your Java to the latest build of the relevant version. If you are using < 1.17.1 and a custom log4j2.xml, for example by modifying the server jar or using the nfigurationFile= Java argument, you will need to replace all occurrences of %msg with %msg. You can obtain a patched server jar by re-running BuildTools with the appropriate revision, eg, java -jar BuildTools.jar -rev 1.12.2. The following versions have been patched: These releases work around a security issue in log4j2, the logging library used by Minecraft. We have just pushed some out of schedule security releases for Spigot. Tl dr update your server by repeating the steps you used to install it.
