Hello everyone! Today we present to you Glowstone 2017.3, after a month of hard work by our contributors. To everyone who makes Glowstone awesome, whether it is through bug reports, code contributions or admining, I'd like to say thank you for making this release possible. I'd also like to …

Glowstone 2017.2's commit window has ended and has subsequently been released. Here are the changes:

EDIT: A lot has changed since this blog post, both in the goals of Glowstone, and Sponge's API in version 8. We aren't completely ruling out the possibility of using Sponge, and this post's strong language does not reflect the sentiment of the team.

Hello, welcome back to one of these updates on what we've been up to with the Glowstone project!

One of our developers, @momothereal, is giving the update this time around:
