LilyBukkit Alpha 1.0.0.0

[Vladg24YT]

After 30 days of hard development, hopefully, it's been worth the wait.

So. The first release of LilyBukkit. Big deal, huh? Well, not exactly. Let's start with the question:

Why the world should I switch from a stable Rosepad Server to this unstable and unfinished pile of code?

It does support Bukkit Plugins! Although most of them will probably need to be rewritten in accordance with the LilyBukkit API version 1.0.4, which is available in its own GitHub repository.

What else, you ask? Permissions! Well, partially. There are basic permissions that are loaded by default and used in the code, and you can add your own permissions to the permissions.yml file. It also automatically loads the permissions of installed plugins. But if there is something related to permissions beyond this scope - it probably doesn't work.

Why release now?

I need to get feedback and test the server to find errors, but I don't have enough resources and knowledge to test all possible scenarios that could cause an exception or crash. In addition, testing requires writing plugins that use certain methods, and due to changes in the API, you most likely will not be able to simply put the 1.7.3-R3 plugin in the plugin directory and run it flawlessly.

Configuration support and multi-world support are missing in this release, and multi-world probably won't be present until version 2.0.0.

How to install?

Just create a folder for the server, put the jar there and run it via java -jar LilyBukkit-a1.0.0.jar (add nogui after the jar file if you want to get a purely CLI experience).
After the first run (it may print a bunch of Exceptions) edit the server.properties file according to your needs.

This release is a publicly available test build. It is not ready for production. Install it at your own risk
