(NOTE: This was written for 1.2 but still applies, just use the correct versions that you need)

When 1.2 comes out, Bukkit won't yet be ready for 1.2, and thus neither will VillageCraft.
If you want to keep playing VC (and most other servers), don't upgrade right away.
You WON'T be able to join if you update before we update.

When it asks, choose "NOT NOW"

Just letting you know.

Edit (adding instructions):
-------

How to revert back to an old version of MC:

1. Find the folder called ".minecraft", which is easy to find if you open up MC, click "Texture Packs" and click "Open texture pack folder".

2. Close Minecraft.

3. You will be looking at the "texturepacks" folder, and you need to go up one level to the ".minecraft" folder.

4. In the ".minecraft" folder, click on the "bin" folder.

5. Here you will see all of your old minecraft version files. If you have 'show file name extensions' turned on on your Windows, all of the files will have '.jar' at the end. Locate the one called "Minecraft" or, if you have file name extensions on: "Minecraft.jar".

6. Now, you will back it up by renaming it: call it something useful like "Minecraft-1.2.2(backup).jar"

6b. (Optional) You may also backup the Minecraft jar file you are going back to, by copy+paste and renaming it to "Minecraft-1.1_COPY" or something.

7. Find the version you need to revert back to (at the time of this post, "Minecraft-1.1.jar") and rename it to just "Minecraft" or if you have file name extensions on: "Minecraft.jar".

8. Run Minecraft, and upon logging in, it will ask you to update. Choose "NOT NOW".

And thats it! Enjoy.

Does it auto-update or does it give an option?

Akomine · « **Reply #2 on:** 20 February 2012, 03:59:47 AM »

It gives an option, don't worry.

Choose: "NOT NOW"

If someone does accidentally update, we can help you go back to the previous version anyways. Just post here.

i have a question if i updated it will i still be able to join?

Akomine · « **Reply #9 on:** 1 March 2012, 05:17:15 PM »

Nope, like every other non-vanilla server, you WILL NOT be able to join if you update.

pkorus · « **Reply #10 on:** 1 March 2012, 05:21:06 PM »

Will i be able to join if u guys update the server or not at all?

Akomine · « **Reply #11 on:** 1 March 2012, 05:24:57 PM »

Well, once we update the server you'll be able to join. I have no idea yet how long that will take.
We often update days or even over a week before other servers do, but you will still have to wait.

Otherwise, downgrade and play.

pkorus · « **Reply #12 on:** 1 March 2012, 05:29:09 PM »

ok thx i was scared i did all that work 4 nothin just promise me that no one will scavenge my village while im gone

Akomine · « **Reply #13 on:** 1 March 2012, 05:31:41 PM »

Why don't you just downgrade and play? It's not that hard, and you can upgrade or downgrade at any time.

huntman0697 · « **Reply #14 on:** 1 March 2012, 07:26:39 PM »

When do you think server will upgrade?

pkorus · « **Reply #15 on:** 1 March 2012, 08:08:41 PM »

boylink · « **Reply #16 on:** 1 March 2012, 08:59:37 PM »

It's out.

huntman0697 · « **Reply #17 on:** 1 March 2012, 09:36:29 PM »

Server still needs updates though ..

Kyro · « **Reply #18 on:** 2 March 2012, 12:30:50 AM »

Bukkit usually takes about a week to update, so that's when we will too. We'll keep you posted.

Bluthochzeit · « **Reply #19 on:** 2 March 2012, 02:55:50 PM »

Can't wait for update:

*stares at ocelots and iron golems*
