1.9 Pre-release Version 5 Server

I have setup the Secondary server again, this time as a 1.9 Pre-release Version 5 Server.

Now, to connect to this server, there are special steps you will have to take. First off, download THIS file.

Its hosted by me, and its safe; I swear. Now, place it somewhere handy, (probably right next to wherever your Minecraft.exe shortcut is.)

Run it; when it starts up, you will see a slightly modified version of the Minecraft launcher. Scroll down, and on the left you will see a button that says "Show All" under the heading, "Download More Jars."

A list appears; do NOT click the top link, (Do NOT click "Download the latest beta as minecraft.jar,") as this will overwrite your current Minecraft version.

Scroll to the bottom of that list, and click on the link titled "Minecraft Beta 1.9 Pre-Release 5."

A downloader appears; when it finishes downloading the file, close the downloader window.

Now, in the launcher, click the little drop-down titled "Jar File" near the Username and Password boxes. This is where you select the version of Minecraft that you which to run. In order to connect to the new Beta 1.9 Pre-Release server, you will have to be running Pre-Release 5. In order to connect to our main server, you will have to be running 1.8.1, (which will be titled "minecraft.jar" in the drop down list.)

You can just run this launcher, (and after downloading the appropriate jar files,) you can merely select which version of Minecraft you wish to run.

The address for the pre-release server is over on the right hand side. As of right now, there are no mods running on it, due to CraftBukkit restrictions. This means no maps, and no locking chests. Go play!

You will also probably have to use the default texture pack for 1.9 for the time being.
