Getting an outdated server notice when you try to connect to EMC? We can help! With the release of any update from Mojang, it's important that you change your launcher options in order to access Empire Minecraft. Don't worry though because this process is super easy and we've created a wiki page to help you out! Our amazing developers are already working on updating us to 1.13 as soon as we can, though we are going to wait for a few of those nasty bugs to work their way out of the update first (we like stability). Follow the below guide to change your version and continue to play EMC in the meantime. Still having trouble? Contact an Empire Minecraft Staff member and they'll be glad to help you out! Upgrading to a Current MC Version
Once Mojang officially releases it (set for today last we checked), that's when the devs really kick it into gear. Aikar has already started on some backend changes for Paper, though he could tell you the more technical details. If you've watched any of his streams lately, that's what he's been working on. Getting that updated is the first step. The developers will go through a slew of information and assess how any changes in the update may affect our current code, then they'll update that code. We'll test out the bugs first on a developer server, then fix bugs, then test more, fix more, etc. That cycle will repeat until we think the major bugs are caught. We then move the update onto stage first and do more testing and more bug fixing. After we've ascertained that MOST of the bugs are caught (never going to catch 100%), we push to the main servers and that's when we've 'updated'. Once again, the above info is given in VERY non-technical terminology. If you re interested in the more technical side, I advise that you tune in to the next Coding with Aikar stream. It's pretty awesome what our devs can do!
oh my gosh you’re right my computer is going to be so slow and my texture packs might not work and i won’t be able to build firefloors and UUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH
FYI Forge said they won't likely have a 1.13 build out until 1.14 is near done.... (They are doing MASSIVE rewrites) So, mods are going to be a pain for 1.13 :3 I don't know about LiteLoader.
If liteloader is slow to update too then the macro debate will become mooYes I know it’s moot but can’t help but get the cows opinion.
Irony you say that on the update that we've had the best jump on.... Who said we're going to take super long? Most of any delay we have will be intentionally waiting for some bugs to squash and maybe other plugins.
Didnt say super long =P I just assumed it would be regular Aikar time after you said: this 1.13 update scares me... so much code has been touched But I did not account for the extra huge dev team EMC has now! So WOOOO
I stumbled across a rumor back from Minecon 2016 about 1.13. Supposedly, Mojang secretively told server owners who attended the Minecon in Anaheim, California about the technical changes they had planned for 1.13. Would you mind debunking this rumor for us? How long ago did you and the team actually start working on developing EMC or Paper for Minecraft 1.13?
What technical changes did they mention were secretively shared? I was in Anaheim and they were displaying info about llamas, and rather excited about it. They didn't really delve into anything with 1.13. If they were sharing info secretively with server owners, we weren't one of them.
