Concerning Future Updates

Development for this plugin is currently inactive for the foreseeable future, though I would love to start again if I ever got the chance. If I become aware that this plugin no longer functions with current builds of bukkit and minecraft I will update this page to reflect that.

A sincere thank you to everyone who used and/or gave feedback for this plugin. It was a pleasure while it lasted.

If you enjoy this plugin and want to say thanks, some caffeine is always welcome :D
