Minecraft 1.1 Released

As we know, Minecraft version 1.1 just got released. And if you didn't know... now you do. Grats. Anyway, 1.1 is out, however CraftBukkit is not yet updated. Therefore, my server will not be updated to 1.1 until there is a stable release from Bukkit.

What this means: If you want to play on the server for the moment, do not update your Minecraft client to version 1.1. You won't be able to connect.

If you already updated: I have a solution for you. I'm just amazing like that. If you would like to roll back your Minecraft client to version 1.0.1 in order to play on the server, download this file. Save it to a place that  you will be able to locate. Phil, that means you, too.


YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS IF YOU ALREADY UPDATED AND NEED TO ROLL BACK. OTHERWISE, JUST DON'T UPDATE AND YOU'LL BE FINE.

Inside that .ZIP file linked above is a folder called "bin". Now follow these instructions:

1.  Open Windows Explorer and type %appdata%  in to the address bar at the top. That should bring you to a folder with an address similar to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming
2. Locate the folder .minecraft here and open it. You should see a folder called bin inside.
3. Rename the bin folder to something else, like bin - 1.1 or whatever might remind you later that this is the bin folder for Minecraft version 1.1. Once you've renamed it, keep this window open. 
4. Open the .ZIP file that you saved previously. Drag the bin folder from there in to the .minecraft folder.

Your game is now successfully rolled back to Minecraft version 1.0.1. Feel free to close the folders and play. And when you start up the game do not update. 

If you decide later that you want to try out Minecraft v1.1 in single player or something (since it does have lots of cool features), you can always go back to the .minecraft folder and just rename your new bin folder to something else, and change the bin - 1.1 folder back to just "bin" and you'll be running your updated game again. It's pretty easy.
