It's a multi use item but I'm not sure how many times cause I've not used mine either. Guess you and I both can find out more about it and other promos on the wiki page. =D edited to add: Oh derp, I guess I should have read it all before replying cause slash answered the question already. lol
It is hard to update to new versions when the version EMC uses is heavily modified (hashtag)Talking for Aikar and Ckickeneer Huh,Alikar answered part of it
Yay! 1.8 (or 1.9?) "soon!" I just wish forge and liteloader were 1.8.3 compatible... (Well maybe they are with recompilation work... I'm just not up for tweaking and recompiling someone elses code. :-P )
Forge's server with Spigot wont be good as some people without forge will not be able to join. Also Forge + Spigot (cauldren) is discontinued
I meant client side only. 1.8.3 has bug fixes, but I require VoxelMap to play minecraft. The installers for both don't support 1.8.3.
Thanks for the heads up on that! I guess I was a little vague before. I already use 1.8.0 on EMC, as well as single player. Since having used VoxelMap and OptiFine I find that if I don't have them available (1.8.1 through 1.8.3 for example) I end up switching back and enduring the bugs of 1.8.0.
