Simple, the height limit is in the .craft file. Just change it and /reload the plugin

EDIT: Important note on heights: Everyone please be aware that altitude makes server lag exponentially worse. If you are having problems with running out of memory, server lag, client crashes, all of that is caused by too much data being moved. Because of the design of Minecraft code, an airship moving at a height of 200 causes 20-30 times as much lag as the same airship moving at only 80. If you must allow airships at high altitude, make sure they are restricted to only small ones. Like, tiny. Or better yet DON'T DO IT

The way the engine works is when you pilot a ship, it checks all adjacent blocks that are on the allowedblock list and adds them to the list of blocks for the ship. Then it checks all the blocks adjacent to those blocks and adds them. Then the ones adjacent to those, and so on.

Long story short: A .craft does not exist in the plugin when it is not being piloted, it's just a bunch of blocks. And it is completely redetected every time it is piloted. So if your ship is accumulating blocks, check your allowedblocks list. Remember that water has 2 different IDs: 8 and 9. If neither are on the allowedblock list, it's probably something else. Extended pistons have a habit of making phantom blocks appear as the craft moves, thats a candidate. In my designs I've started using pistons that operate with a single pulse instead. IE: one pulse to one piston opens the torpedo tube doors, one pulse to a different piston closes it. They work fine.

@crunchycamsta

Ah, I see. Have you tried this yet? The code currently collapses all signs (and redstone, and lots of other things I thought shouldn't hold up a falling ship) on a crash. Now, a clever designer could get around this, but I bet it would work in most cases.

Lets move this to PM. I'll PM you.

MCProHosting supports FTP, I know for certain you can upload the world file, because they have instructions here:

https://clients.mcprohosting.com/knowledgebase/31/How-to-Upload-a-World-to-Your-Minecraft-Server.html

So you could use the world download I posted in the video descriptions. I'm pretty sure you should also be able to also unzip the package into the /plugins folder. You would do that very similar to these instructions:

https://clients.mcprohosting.com/knowledgebase/32/How-to-Install-Bukkit-Minecraft-Plugins.html

Except you would unzip the package, and post all of the contents into the /plugins folder, including the directories within the package

@crunchycamsta

Help me understand what you are trying to accomplish here. Is the goal to prevent people from fixing their ship while its sinking?

@carcrab14

The way I see it, there are 2 possibilities:

Geometry (IE: the blocks aren't actually adjacent to each other, or there are blocks that aren't in the allowedBlocks list in the ship, preventing the detection chain from detecting the whole ship)

.Craft file problem (IE: something is wrong with the craft file, and its not being loaded)

Check for any errors on your server console during boot up, which may indicate a problem with the .craft. Failing that, PM me a screenshot of the ship, and a copy of the .craft file and I will help you figure it out.

Its part of a PVE/Co-Op/Arena event system called the Temple of Remembrance. In the video is the package download so you can put it in your own servers so your players can run through the events, earn a pilotrating, and purchase rewards. Everything is customizable, yet works right out of the package with minimal changes.

@ucuber

Good idea, that is commonly missed. I'll make sure it is emphasized. The key difference between canStaticMove and canTeleport is that teleport: signs go to set coordinates, and move: signs move relative to the ships location.

Move: signs ended up being pretty useful for things like elevators, so they have been expanded with rMove: signs (which rotate their axis of movement with the ship) and the maxStaticMove property (which limits how far you can move with one click of the sign).

As far as the I'm in space plugin, unfortunately I can't think of any way to update the worldguard region while the ship moves, short of an extensive overhaul.

@crunchycamsta

Makes sense. Like I say, limit the size of the ship, or how high it can fly and it will cut down on client side updates. The users may be able to do something with the java options to give more memory to Java when they start Minecraft, I'm not sure if that will help or not.

@crunchycamsta

Because its happening on the client, and Movecraft doesn't do anything with the client, we should look instead at what Movecraft is making Minecraft do. IE: what is on your ship that Movecraft is moving?

There are a few things that could cause massive client side updates that may explain a client crash. I've seen it happen with large amounts of water updates (but due to WorldEdit, no Movecraft, but same principle), and with huge lighting updates (same thing). The worst is caused by changes that affect all the blocks below a block, meaning various updates at high altitude. Thats why all the default crafts have altitude limitations. Any large high altitude ships?

You mention it affects numerous clients simultaneously. Do the clients tend to be in the same area? Perhaps near the same ship? If its people on the opposite side of the world, I'm stumped. Movecraft doesn't do anything client side, other than move blocks and their related content.
