Welcome to Multiverse 2

Hello there. Looks like you've gotten to this page because you want to upgrade to Multiverse 2! Thanks for being a super cool Multiverse user!

Prerequisites

Required:

Multiverse 2 requires that you have at least CraftBukkit 1060 installed. To find out your version, go to your console (or in game) and type version (or /version if in-game). You will see something similar to this:

08:37:23 [INFO] This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-0.0.0-985-g2cc4221-b1064jnks (MC: 1.7.3)
08:37:23 [INFO] This server is also sporting some funky dev build of Bukkit!

Look closely at the first line, near the end you can see b1064jnks which can easily be translated to 1064. There you have it, that's your CraftBukkit version. If that number is any less than 1060 Multiverse 2 will basically explode. If you need to upgrade, you can find the Latest Recommended Build Here.

Optional:

Step 1

Ensure that your plugins folder looks similar to this: images/upgrade/step1.png

Make sure you leave your MultiVerse.jar and MultiVerse/ folder in place for now.

Step 2

Download the Multiverse-Core JAR from The Multiverse 2 Jenkins

NOTE: We are working on getting a stable download for MV2 and CB 1.0.1-R1!

Place it in your plugins folder like so: images/upgrade/step2_fixed.png

Step 3

Start your server. You should see something similar to this:
NOTE: Your lines will NOT be colored. I have colored them for reference. images/upgrade/step3_fixed.png You should see all of the green lines and the yellow line. If your green lines do NOT match. Hop into our IRC (#multiverse on esper.net) channel for help.

Step 4

Stop your server.

Not sure why you need a picture of this, but here it is: images/upgrade/step4.png

Step 5

  • If you do not have backups yet, make a backup of MultiVerse/.
  • Remove MultiVerse.jar and the MultiVerse/ folder.

Your plugins folder should look similar to this:
