Updated java on the server to 1.8 latest and ran the convert test (original 1.7.2 server -> 1.7.9 -> 1.8) and it still fails to convert the Blocks and Items fields. The 1.8 server dumps the 'invalid statistic' for blocks and items then deletes them from the stat file.
Server 1.7.9 reads the stats just fine, as does 1.7.10. Server 1.8 breaks.
Additionally, using the client to update the stats file from 1.7.x to 1.8 works, then copying the 1.8 stat file to the server, then logging in fails in the same way (server dumps the invalid statistic errors.)
