Yeah, actually I was thinking of that from our discussions in this thread. I'm thinking of rolling out a bunch of things I've been meaning to do in the next few days. I should have some free time coming up.

So I have been thinking of doing one of two things for this specific problem:

I like option A for most circumstances. But it would not prevent a determined griefer / someone doing it for the lolz. But it would help with accidents. What are your thoughts?

On open source, you should actually be able to see everything. AJCStriker maintains the main repository, which has the code in the current release version. I have newer code in my repository on GitHub, which I *think* you can access. Let me know what problems you have.

Finally, here is my working list of things I want to put in the next version. Input from anyone is welcome. I can't guarantee these will all be implemented, but here is my working list:

1. - beds work (IE your spawn moves with the ship if you used a bed on the ship)
2. - chests and double chests work
3. - iron doors and beds don't fall off anymore
4. - water level determined better as above

@secretbryan15

You could use Worldguard to prevent users from placing water blocks in the affected area. But really this is just something you need to instruct users in. If water (block 9) was a forbidden block the ship couldn't go through it, so that wouldn't work. You could make block 8 forbidden, which would have the result of making the ship unusable while the water is spreading. But once the water was done spreading they could pilot it, so that's not a perfect solution.

You could restrict watercraft to users who have been instructed on this and that have agreed not to place water above the waterline near ships. That's probably your best option.

@secretbryan15

Make sure your players are not placing water anywhere within their ships. The way the system works is it figures out what the waterline is by looking for any water near the ship. The highest point it finds water at is remembered as the waterline, and it will fill in water in the ships wake at that level. So if they put water in their ship a little above the actual waterline, it will fill in water behind the ship at that level instead of the actual waterline.

A user on our server wanted a swimming pool on their ship. To get around this, they made water dispensers that would fill or empty the pool with the push of a button. That way they could use the pool when the ship is stopped, and there was no water to confuse the system when it was moving.

I have re-created the MovecraftTypes.zip file with something I believe will be more widely compatible. Give it a try now.

@Tootles777

I see, sorry you haven't had much luck yet. Did you look at the tutorial, or the quick start guide? There are no commands other than /release, and that command is optional. I have heard of other people having trouble opening the .zip file, then they try something else and it works. Unfortunately I am never clear on what they tried that failed, or what they switched to that worked. The zips were created using WinRAR on Windows 7. What OS and program are you using?

@mrelfire

Yeah, as I said its not compatible with Forge. I don't know if it works with MCPC (a forge compatible server) for certain but from your results I would guess not. It does work with spigot (http://ci.md-5.net/job/Spigot/) and Craftbukkit (http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/get/02449_1.7.2-R0.1/craftbukkit-beta.jar)

If you can reproduce the problem on either of those, I can help figure it out. But I can't troubleshoot with MCPC.

@mrelfire

You asked earlier about forge. Is this running on a forge server? It has had problems with forge in the past.

As a test, could you try using a clean install with just craftbukkit and no other plugins and see if it works? Finally, make sure you get no errors on the server console.

@OprichnikYConec3

Having lived in a foreign land for many years and subjecting others to my poor attempts at other languages, I'll not fault your english.

Yes, THEGREATpbx3 had it right. My best recommendation at this time is to use dispensers instead of chests. I will probably tackle the chest problem next. Assuming they ever post the new version for 1.7.2. Seems slower than normal for some reason.

@THEGREATpbx3

yeah, I'm afraid you can't put 5:1 IE: Spruce wood planks. You could put 5, to represent planks of any kind. But it does not differentiate between data values within a block type at this time.
