Upgrading to 1.17…

1.17 is out! Yay! Are we updating yet? NO!!! Why? Because our plugin engine isn't ready yet. Let's go through a checklist of things that need to update, I'll keep this up to date:

SpigotMC - First builds are out: - https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spigot-bungeecord-1-17.510208/
PaperMC - Test builds are out - https://papermc.io/downloads

Also, we need plugins to be ready/tested in 1.17; mojang changed a LOT of API's and requires a move to Java 1.16 so the need for testing even unchanging plugins is critical:

EssentialsX - NOT READY - https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases Project
LuckPerms - READY - https://luckperms.net/download
Vault - READY, Officially unchanged in 1.17 but reports say it's working: https://github.com/MilkBowl/Vault A Spigot dev says he's tested it and it's working
GriefPrevention - NOT READY, Likely works and just needs testing - Officially untested in 1.17: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/griefprevention.1884/ Some users are reporting it's now working in 1.17
Dynmap - NOT READY, beta1 has initial 1.17 support but beta2 will be the first we will run - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dynmap.274/
Multiverse-Core - LIKELY READY, Likely works and just needs testing - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/multiverse-core.390/ Devs say it likely will work at the time of release of 1.17: MV supports Java 16 already, and will most likely support 1.17 at release. If there are any issues reported at the time of release, we will try our best to get them fixed quickly.

Here's some "optional" plugins that we use that aren't critical but need to be upgraded:

ArmorStandTools - NOT READY, Likely works and just needs testing - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/armor-stand-tools.2237/
BBOutlineReloaded - NOT READY, likely needs support for new structures - https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/bounding-box-outline-reloaded
VillagerOptimiser - NOT READY, Likely works and just needs testing - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/villager-optimiser-1-14-2-1-16-5.68517/
FakePlayers - NOT READY, Likely works and just needs testing - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/fake-players-server-side-bots.91163/
Dynmap Griefpreventoin - NOT READY, Likely works and just needs testing - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/grief-prevention-dynmap-support.2881/
MatterBukkit - READY - https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/matterbukkit/files/3360204

Lastly, there are some client mods we use which are very helpful but aren't deal-breakers

Optifine - Preview version is out - https://optifine.net/downloads
Fabric Loader - Out for 1.17 - https://fabricmc.net/use/
Fabric API - Out for 1.17 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api
Optifabric - Out for 1.17 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/optifabric
ReplayMod - NOT READY - https://www.replaymod.com/download/ Per the discord it's released to VIP's so release is imminent.
Litematica - Out for 1.17 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/litematica
MiniHUD - Out for 1.17 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/minihud
Malilib - Out for 1.17 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/malilib
