- 02 May 2015 14:26 #152941 Hey there guys. I, like most of us are excited for the pixelmon 4 release BUT there are some walls (which according to my sources, at the moment cannot be climbed or I'm mistaken on some point. Meaning this thread could be useless).

As most of you know, MCPC/Cauldron is no longer updating to 1.8, meaning that we cannot use plugins on our server. BUT the other big alternative is sponge API.

This is their aim:-

For those who are more familiar with the community, Sponge combines the best parts of Bukkit, Forge, Spout, Spigot, Cauldron, and many other projects into one API.

But read this:- https://www.reddit.com/r/spongeproject/ ... able_with/ (Not that i know that this source is reliable).

That wrapper is called Pore, acting as a bridge between the mod and bukkit to support bukkit plugins BUT again many plugins would not probably be supported (outdated).

Pore is unlikely to ever get off the drawing board. ShaRose has expressed his opinion recently that a loader for Bukkit plugins won't be legal to distribute. This disappoints me as much as anyone, but that's the way it rolls. [frowning] Here's the blurb from IRC: <ShaRose> welp, after looking it over I'm entirely convinced there is no legal way to make a legal loader for bukkit plugins <Hubok> Didn't someone mention loading different .jar files doesn't violate the GPL?

Probably no pixelmon server could survive without plugins.

Of course my research could have taken a wrong lead. Your thoughts guys?

Of course what you have said is perfectly true. Just that I wanted to test out bugs on the latest pixelmon mod with my staff team on a host while setting up plugins, which naturally forced me to research since I was lacking knowledge.

And since some miracles happen (probably not in this case) there might be some solution.

On another note. Would it be wise to start a 1.7.10 server with the latest 3.x release or wait for the things to be ported over to avoid any map reset and start it on 1.8?

Everyone has different perspectives. If you ask me, a pixelmon server would be meaningless without plugins. For example, essentials is globally used, there are groups to differentiate people in ranks and such. I appreciate what you thought about the situation though.

i'd wait a few weeks or a month to see how everything pans out, this will fish out some bugs that might have slipped through in the mod and for (hopefully) plugins that are essential for a server to be ported over

That is actually neat. On the other hand most of us have exams and really didn't try coding before so let's just hope for plugins to be ported over, or the sponge community to realize this problem and release similar plugins (which is possible).

- 03 May 2015 10:18 #153001 Sponge forum is pretty active. Ever since dev builds have been released some plugins have been released as well so that's a good sign :D

SpongeAPI is still not stable enough to be used publicly tho, so our server that has already updated currently runs custom made plugins made with just forge even if they are not as refined as the old bukkit ones.
