As some of you may already know, bukkits development has come to a close... full post here
What does this mean for World of Minecraft?
Well, we don't actually use bukkit directly but a fork of bukkit called: Spigot
Spigot still relied on bukkit's core updates, it is entirely possible for spigot to be independent however, a lot is unknown at this time.
While the future of modded minecraft is not clear, we will continue to support the World of Minecraft Network.
We will update this post as more information comes to light.
Update 1: Lead Spigot Developer and Owner md_5 has just made a tweet confirming support for 1.8
Update 2: Jeb has responded to bukkit being discontinued
Update 3: Dinnerbone just made a tweet pledged support for bukkit 1.8
Update 4: Jeb responds some more and says that it is not a joke
Update 5: Grum confirms Mojang having ownership of Bukkit's Github repository
Mojang owns Bukkit. The person who founded Bukkit wanted to shut it down, and formally declared that Bukkit would be discontinued, but Mojang says no.
That's what I was trying to say bro
Worth noting that Dinnerbone is the founder of the bukkit project.
couple tweets from dinner bone

To make this clear: Mojang owns Bukkit. I'm personally going to update Bukkit to 1.8 myself. Bukkit IS NOT and WILL NOT BE the official API.

I started Bukkit, I'm going to personally see it through for 1.8. Updating it now :)
Just noticed snow you had this last tweet. when i clicked the link, for some odd reason it showed something different at first. weird.
Cool
Bruh someone from the Mojang team is going to have to step up and take full control of Bukkit if they want it to survive...
Okay, this scared me at first lol
seems there is more to come as a dmca has been issued to spigot and bukkit by a major contributor.
More info at the following spigot link.
http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/dmcad.28536/
and bukkit link:
http://dl.bukkit.org/dmca/notification.txt
It seems from talk on the interwebs that wolverness, the major code contributor of bukkit, is pissed that mojang bought bukkit and he was never notified, compensated or given credit as he thought bukkit was open source, as it was when he did the code work.
HEy guys, in case ya'll hadnt heard....
most of the bukkit team are back together working at
spongepowerd.org
there planning to update to 1.8. if you want to support them.
I understand the format will allow for servers to add MODs and plugins to there server easily.
since there working off the FORGE MOD API
We know.
Also this thread really isn't needed anymore. [/lock]
