Snapshots server

[PabloDons]

Would people be interested in a snapshots server? Snapshots for 1.15 are rolling already and I think it'd be a great idea to actively encourage playing around with it. Bee farms and stuff have already been made, which is freggen dope. I think it'd be cool if ORE members could join in on the fun.

Obviously this would have to be a vanilla server in order to get updates as they come, which means no plugins. op level 2 allows for basically everything except kicking, banning and opping which is enough to test basically every aspect of the game.

Otherwise some servers semantics would need to be worked out.
1. World resetting. I think best option would be to make a backup every update and just reuse same world.
2. Whitelist? People would need to be trusted to be given powers as they are limitless. Yk, the no plugin thing.

Input is welcome. Please vote in the poll if you're interested in the idea.

P.S. I don't think ORE can officially host this. I for one don't have the horsepower. I'd appreciate volunteers. Otherwise I'll convince capo to buy another VM.

So, this is probably a bit late, but you're not necessarilly correct on "no plugins"... just probably not the plugins you're used to.

There is a modding framework, called Fabric, with a couple sets of mappings covered via the yarn project that's been tracking the snapshots and updating within a short period of the snapshots coming out, with the idea being that developers can start porting their mods to snapshots before the final release comes out. If you found a set of server administration mods for fabric, those may be usable, but you certainly won't be able to use stock bukkit plugins. (worldedit, for instance, is available for fabric, but doesn't appear to specifically support the 1.15 snapshots. doesn't mean it wouldn't work due to the intermediate mappings, etc...)

I can host an unofficial server.

That's awesome! Please do. Personally I'd be happy to announce it
