    I have seen Bukkit (I am pretty sure they're Bukkit) servers with MC 1.8 compatibility now, and some even before MC 1.8 was released. I was wondering how the heck do they get the CraftBukkit for that?? Also, if anyone has the download link, please share :).

    Thanks!

    UPDATE: You know? I had no idea spigot existed. I think they just that instead. Nevermind this post!!

    The Hive, Shotbow, Hypixel, most of the major servers.

    Those servers run Spigot and BungeeCord. Spigot runs a Protocol Hack which tricks an updated client onto an outdated server. This can be buggy and both the server and the client can be prone to crash.

    There are a few server software currently on 1.8. Two of them I can confirm is Rainbow and Glowstone. Glowstone is still early development and lacking a lot(mobs, health, hunger, survival mechanics, ext.); Rainbow runs ontop of 1.8, so all 1.8 features are working and custom plugins can be made for it.

    There are multiple others still in the making, but most of them can't run yet.

    any idea if Rainbow implements things like spigot does ? to help with lag etc ?

    Noxturno Rainbow has Janitor, it comes with the server and is the alternative to ClearLag.

    The server runs good and the developer is always releasing updates. SO far so good for me since this is one of the few alternative we have that are actually out.
