Testing the 1.8 version, and it works great in SP, but having a few problems with connecting to MP on spigot. Haven't tried plain vanilla server side yet (maybe tomorrow). I compiled a fresh copy of spigot and stripped out all mods from the client to make sure there wasn't anything else cluttering up whatever the cause may be.

When I connect to a Spigot 1.8 Server using the Forge 1.8-1322, I'm getting the following:

So I rolled back to Forge 1.8-1319 per a recent post on minecraftforum thread, and it ran okay for about five minutes, but now I'm getting this:

Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try my best to pull it all together.

Same bug as #10, fixed in version 1.1.0.

The crash should be gone, but if you experience visual glitches (algae, coral, reeds not showing up properly) feel free to reopen the issue.

Awesome.. I'll give it a run through it's paces when I get back home..

Thanks for the quick response.
