Canyon

Canyon is a fork of CraftBukkit for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. It includes multiple enhancements whilst also retaining compatibility with old Bukkit plugins and mods as much as possible.

Building

1. Clone the repo with git clone --recursive https://github.com/canyonmodded/canyon.git.
2. Go into the new canyon directory and run ./canyon p.
3. Run mvn clean package.
4. Find the server JAR in Canyon-Server/target.

Downloading

Due to legal issues from cb, we can not really set this as default or post builds here. You can download them Here. Or check our discord when jenkins fails to login and properly build.

Differences from CraftBukkit

Canyon features:

• Bug fixes.
• Select technological backports from modern Minecraft servers (such as Spigot and Paper). Canyon will not import "future" gameplay features as a default. We aim to retain and improve the Beta 1.7.3 gameplay experience.
• Performance enhancements (some backported from Spigot and Paper, others specific to Canyon).
• Code quality improvements.
• New APIs, to complete the Beta 1.7.3 modding story and adapt to the modern Java ecosystem.

To support these new features, Canyon depends on Java 8 and higher and integrates modern libraries (such as the replacement for Google Collections, Google Guava). Legacy Bukkit plugins are fully supported through the Colorado compatibility layer, which dynamically rewrites legacy plugins to adapt to new Canyon internals (although we make it a goal to minimize disruptive changes to the Minecraft core).

Credits

• Paper: build system and some backports. Tacos, Taylor Swift, and cats are amazing.
• Modification Station: advice, contributions, and testers. A great community to be in if you're interested in the old pre-release version of Minecraft, from pre-alpha to beta 1.8.
