BungeeCord had been released several months earlier (thus changing Minecraft servers forever, although that is a different story), and as a result I was offered sponsorship by Staminus Communications. Once our thread on the Spout forums reached a massive 100 pages, we decided it was time to look for our own home and spot on the internet. Several of Afforess’ original features, or features inspired by him, still exist in Spigot today, and for that we are thankful. Eventually CraftBukkit++ was discontinued and CraftBukkit- became the Spigot we know and love today. Humbly hosted out of my Dropbox at first, and then later on various Jenkins servers hosted by NyanCraft and subsequently EcoCit圜raft (whom still hosts Jenkins to this day), CraftBukkit- became a hit and amassed a small but dedicated following of server owners. Eventually word of this modified “super-server” got around, and I was asked to post it publicly, which I did on the Spout forums under the name “CraftBukkit-”. As such I was tasked by owner of EcoCit圜raft, to create a lightweight version with similar functionality and, of course, performance enhancements. Unfortunately over its relatively short lifespan it managed to get quite bloated with unnecessary features, and lagged behind the then rapid Bukkit development pace. I hope that this little section provides a small insight into the history and creation of Spigot, and just how far we have come in what feels like such a short time.īack in the dark ages of May 2012, there existed a modified version of CraftBukkit named CraftBukkit++, written by Afforess, which had lots of cool performance enhancing features and other fancy stuff. What follows is an, abridged, account of the major milestones which we have experienced together. Whilst the big news for today is obviously the 1.8 release, I would like to use this opportunity to cover the many different aspects regarding the past, present and indeed future of this wonderful project. That’s how long we have had these forums for, and for a game that has only been officially released for three years, that is an awfully long time.
