	If you run a 1.8 Minecraft server, and do not follow this guide to update your server (instead keeping the old version), ~~you can use current versions of the Citizens~~ and~~/or Sentinel, however~~ '''you will NOT get any support''' from helpers with any questions/etc you may have.		If you run a 1.8 Minecraft server, and do not follow this guide to update your server (instead keeping the old version), we maintained back-support for 9 years, but time has long since come, and '''you will NOT get any support''' from helpers with any questions/etc you may have.

	'''Citizens and related plugins''' (Sentinel, etc.) '''all function fully in their current versions''' (latest releases and dev [[Versions\|versions]]) '''on 1.8.8 Spigot servers''', however you may not have all features available (primarily those that only work in newer Minecraft versions anyway), and if something goes wrong (such as an error message appearing), there's no guarantee we can do much to help with the issue.		<s>'''Citizens and related plugins''' (Sentinel, etc.) '''all function fully in their current versions''' (latest releases and dev [[Versions\|versions]]) '''on 1.8.8 Spigot servers''', however you may not have all features available (primarily those that only work in newer Minecraft versions anyway), and if something goes wrong (such as an error message appearing), there's no guarantee we can do much to help with the issue.

	The important thing here is that Minecraft 1.8 is '''7 years old''' at this point and continuing to age, it's nonsense to run a version that old - especially when, as you can see from the information above, you don't need to run that old version on your server to get any of the popular features of 1.8 minecraft.		Our plugins as of 2024 no longer work at all on such ancient versions.

			== Additional Warning ==

			Minecraft 1.8.x and other similar old versions (pre-1.12) are likely vulnerable to variants of the '''Log4Shell security vulnerability''', as the patches for those older versions are imperfect. Updating to a more recent version is critical for the security of you and your server.
