I really need to get on the server soon! Anybody have info on when the server will be updated? The homepage says within 48 hours but that was Thursday =_=. Please Help

The server is wating for a stable build of Bukkit, Minetown can't control Bukkit and how fast they update, so please be patient. Although this is a small update so it shouldn't be too much longer <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f609.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=";)">;)</object>

Have you tried the Sproutcraft client?

http://dev.bukkit.org/client-mods/spoutcraft/

It lets you choose what version of MC you want to use.
