Allow 1.6.2, 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 clients to join the server

[Wimali]

A simple idea. I was wondering why this wasn't the case. Why not keep Blocktopia 1.6.4 until it's updated, but allowed 1.6.2 and 1.7.2 clients to join? I don't know if this is hard to code or anything, but saw it being used in another community so yeah

Blocktopia did this before with 1.5, but I don't know if the servers can do that without Bukkit 1.7.

I can confirm it's possible, just not sure how useful it would be (and the stability of it isn't exactly good either...)

but it worked 100% fine for another community (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

considering the fact that minecraft's launcher has profiles just make a new one

But we have no 1.7.2 servers, so all a player could do is AFK in the lobby. If they wanted to actually play on any server, they'd still have to switch profiles.

You sure? Doesn't the protocol hack work on bungee top level, and since you're always connected to the proxy ut wouldnt matter what the servers are? And, simply put the spigot 1.7 protocol build on every server, done - people can connect with 1.7.

Will do that later probably.

Oh, I didn't know whether we were going to put the protocol builds on the actual servers. Butttt, I'm not sure how the build treats foreign items (will it crash or kick, we'd probably need to test). If it is stable enough to bump everything to the dev build though, I'm all for it.

Darling, all it does is allow 1.7 people to play, none of the 1.7 stuff has any effect

Will come into IRC in a bit.
