It won't be updated because people would go and trade with villagers when the plugin wasn't updated and make lots of money. Just incase you were wondering.
Well it was back then when emeralds were a fortune. How do you think all these emeralds entered the economy to this day? Old donors thats how
Back then, crew would update the server when the update came out. And the villager trade plugin wouldn't be updated. So donors could spawn and trade regular trades with villagers. Until the plugin was updated of course.
Has anyone noticed that if you try and craft a 1.8 item you can briefly see it before it vanishes from the workbench?
I tried to craft a slime block. As soon as 1.8 comes out Im going to sell so many of those (I have a slime chunk )
I presume that would mean that crafting items, along with the recipes, are all done client-side. However, the item actually 'existing' to use, is server-side. The item showing for a moment would be the client-side part, but the item would then disappear as the server has not been updatated.
I remember back when the server was still in 1.6.(blah) and I had 1.7 because when I bought minecraft legit thats what it was up to. Its was funny trying to craft 1.7 items and watching them appear than dissapear. It was like minecraft was saying "yes lets go" and the servers like: But when the time is right, you will get the update and see all the new items that you all love... except me, i just want a bunny and birch wood stuff.
