This follows the version of spigot selected by default by BuildTools. BuildTools uses latest.json
from https://hub.spigotmc.org/versions/ by default. Each build has its own number and the versioned json files and latest.json are symlinks. Since the version number isn't saved in the JSON file, you can search for the modification time to see what relates to each other. For example, currently latest.json
and 1.16.5.json
are build 3096.json
which was modified "11-Jun-2021 04:10". (That is what I do; if you know of a more-direct approach, please comment.)
As mentioned in the pinned comment, if you want to upgrade sooner than the BuildTools default changes, just change _pkgver in the PKGBUILD.

BuildTools will default to 1.14.4 soon. I suggest preparing for the new version now by running
cd /srv/craftbukkit && java -jar /usr/share/java/craftbukkit-spigot/spigot.jar --forceUpgrade
(and once it finishes, you can ctrl+C or type "stop") as recommended by Spigot. If you do not use/srv/craftbukkit
or you run multiple servers, make sure to run the command for each.ejona86 commented on 2019-07-21 20:44 (UTC) (edited on 2019-12-14 16:45 (UTC) by ejona86)
This package tracks the default version of Minecraft used by BuildTools. To use a different version of Minecraft (old or development) change _pkgver to the version of Minecraft you want to use.
