1.8 and 1.9 compatible?

[Nicholas Pitre]

I'm looking for someone who knows how to change a server to be 1.8 and 1.9 compatible, A lot of popular servers have changed to 1.8 and 1.9 compatible and so have a few of the very small servers I play on, I need someone who can help me with making my server 1.8 and 1.9 compatible, I will pay you.

You need to run BuildTools again to get the latest spigot jar released yesterday that supports the protocol hack.

Keep in mind, it won't have the features of 1.9 until much later. It will only allow 1.8 and 1.9 clients to connect.

I'm Sorry I don't fully understand what you mean, Could you explain it a bit better possibly? [DOUBLEPOST=1456941454][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm not worried about the features id just like them to work together

If you don't know how to run BuildTools, then you really shouldn't be running a public Minecraft server.
It basically runs itself.

he didn't said he doesn't know how to use the buildtools, your concept of making it cross version compatible is a bit too vague for him (so is it for me and I'm a dev so just explain it a bit more )

 

[IceGroose]

Wow, what kind of dev are you if you have never used BuildTools to compile the latest spigot jars.

Read this page, it gives an in-depth tutorial about how to run BuildTools.jar
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

mate, please.... read my post
I know how to use buildtools
this whole thread has nothing to do with buildtools. the OP asks how to add cross version compatibility, you made some weird explanation which makes no sense so if you really think your post has some value to add to the thread then post your suggestion again but this time try to explain it well.

I know I don't have many ratings but I'm pretty sure I know more about buildstools/develoment than 90% of this community so please don't try to make fun of me

You can use this plugin:

Looks like you didn't read md_5's post yesterday. They released a new build of Spigot which supports the protocol hack that allows both 1.8 and 1.9 clients to connect. If you are not a developer, you need to run BuildTools.jar to get the latest build of Spigot since they don't distribute it publicly anymore.

I've tried using buildtools but after I downloaded buildtools I right click buildtools and Git bash isn't showing up I tried doing it manually by (open with) then git bash and it opens for a second and crashes/closes I tried opening Git itself and doing java -jar Buildtools.jar and says Unable to access jarfile BuildTools.jar

 

[Nicholas Pitre]

Make a new folder on your desktop and name it "spigot"
Move BuildTools.jar to that folder
Open Git bash and type "cd ~/Desktop/spigot" without the quotes
then type "java -jar BuildTools.jar" without the quotes

It will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

I just tried that as well this is what I got,


Nicholas Pitre@DESKTOP-6QT4044 MINGW64 ~
$ cd ~/desktop/spigot

Nicholas Pitre@DESKTOP-6QT4044 MINGW64 ~/desktop/spigot
$ java -jar BuildTools.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile BuildTools.jar

Nicholas Pitre@DESKTOP-6QT4044 MINGW64 ~/desktop/spigot
$

 

[Nicholas Pitre]

Even with the Desktop Capitalized it says the exact same thing, I'm very lost as to what's wrong.

You are on Windows correct?

You are on Windows correct?

I got it It's finally loading everything, What do I do once its done?

 

[Nicholas Pitre]

I can't see an option to add a custom jar, Can you do it With Bisecthosting?
