With the official release of Minecraft 1.0.0, and for those of you who are tired of the .jar file shuffle we have now updated the main server over on MinecraftServer.com to the latest 1.0.1 server build, allowing you to connect with your 1.0.0 Minecraft clients. The server is running the most current development build of bukkit. However please note that a recommended build of bukkit does not yet exist for Minecraft 1.0.0 and bugs will still exist. The majority of the bukkit plugins we rely on are also fully functioning, so it was time to make this official post, the Minecraft 1.9 pre-release servers have been closed, also our transitional Minecraft 1.8.1 server has now been shutdown. All players should update to Minecraft 1.0.0 client to play on the server. The map has also been increased in size to 10,000 x 10,000 blocks allowing us to take advantage of the new terrain types introduced with the release of Minecraft 1.0.0 We have a number of exciting changes planned for Minecraft Server however the majority will not be integrated until we have a recommended bukkit build. Key updates for Minecraft 1.0.0 are below: Minecraft 1.0 + Added animal breeding + Added mushroom islands + Added nether structures (fortresses) + Added nether mobs and new item drops + Added snow biome + Made swamps prettier + Added villagers in villages + Added craftable snow golems + Added potions and potion brewing + Added item enchantments + Added mooshrooms + Added The End + Added new achievements + Added many new items + Added video settings for clouds and particles + Added 32 bit java warning + Updated sound effects + Added hardcore mode (when you die the world is lost) * Made chunk saving multi threaded * Severely reduced the number of block types Endermen can carry * Fixed endermen look-at calculation in mulitplayer * Fixed lights under water not removing properly * Fixed a dependency on OpenGL 1.3. * Fixed lava spreading down into water * Fixed paintings being lit wrong * Changed armor calculation * Fixed paintings being lit incorrectly * Fixed a few blocks (fences, for example) being lit incorrectly when placed under/next to other blocks * Minor tweaks to textures * Re-added the ability to view oneself from the front by pressing F5 - Removed Herobrine
