Bukkit and Forge

What do you guys use to have both Bukkit and Forge since cauldron is no longer available? Thanks in advance :)/>

I've not set up Bukkit myself (and probably only played on one or two servers at most that have had it installed), but I get the impression that those who still make use of it are simply sticking to old releases (and therefore old MC/Forge releases, too).

Where can these old releases be found?

Most people downloaded it before it was taken down, or have run a cauldron server before and already had the files. You will have to search google and hope to be lucky enough to find what you are looking for.

There is also a old mod, which I do not remember if it still works / is being updated called bukkit forge. It might be worth looking into.

I checked into it, it does not still work.

A word of warning, you may have heard this already, bukkit and forge don't always play nice (read: forge mods ignore bukkit block protection/permissions)

That's not always true, some plugins does, some don't, the best thing would be to test before actually pushing your server into production.

Honestly from multiple months of running a cauldron (bukkit/forge) server. The only mod that really doesn't "play nice" is Computercraft. It only doesn't work well in the regard turtles do not throw block break events hence the possibility of turtle griefing, also command computers do not like commands defined in plugins/redefined by a plugin (/give works in vanilla but not with a plugin that overwrites the command).

@Op
I can still help get the files needed when I have a chance later still working on that paper.

a possible workaround for the command computers problem is the command.exac function, I've not tested this though

see two posts down

The only solution for turtle griefing is regular backups.. :(/>

EDIT: Of course I keep regular backups…

Unfortunately you can only use commands.exec on commands which appear in commands.list. I assumed (when I first tried them) that commands.exec would run the command as if you had passed it through a command block but that is unfortunately not the case. In other words commands.exec really isn't useful seeing as you can just do commands.command, and you can only use commands.exec to run the commands that you can run using commands.command.

To get something similar to Bukkit you can use "Sponge". It is an Api for Minecraft servers. They are working on an implementation for Forge. So a plugin could work together with a Forge mod.
