I'm guessing the craft has a chestshop sign on it? It looks like the chestshop plugin can't handle the chestshop being moved. Which makes sense, because chestshop would want to know who placed the block, and movecraft doesn't provide a user for its block changes. I do run movecraft with chestshop on my own server though, and don't have issues. We actually have a pretty cool system where you can ship goods from one town to another for a profit using chestshops. But I have never tried putting a chestshop on an actual craft.

I have restricted them to only rotating in my turret.craft file, but you don't have to. You could, in theory, allow them to be moved. You could have a "deployable turret" for example, where its inside the ships hull most of the time but you deploy it to to fire. You would have to release the primary ship to move it, though. You can rotate without releasing.

On all the "6"s you see on your console, I bet I left some debugging on. I'll go find it and turn it off and get an updated build out. On the obstruction thing, you should be seeing something like:

"The craft cannot move because its path is obstructed! @ -460,84,752"

If it is a craft that has no pilot (IE: a torpedo or a turret), it will put that on the server console instead of telling the pilot.

Funny you should ask that...

I just finished the latest features of Movecraft, which will probably be it for this version. The new features / bug fixes are:

1. - Turrets! you can now have a "subcraft" which is part of a larger craft and moves with it, but can rotate independently
2. - Subcraft Rotate signs. To rotate a turret, place this sign somewhere adjacent to it (or inside it). First line should read "Subcraft Rotate" and the next line should read the .craft type name. I'll make a video showing how to do this soon (probably in a week, after the next Airship Pirates vid). If the next 2 lines are empty, it will put in a pretty little wheel icon. If they aren't empty it leaves them alone.
3. - It now informs you which block is causing an obstruction. No more hunting down that one block in your ship that screws everything up
4. - Fixed the bug where redstone would drop off of dispensers. This time for realz, ...maybe
5. - ported some of the optimizations in the main core updater into the compatibility mode one
6. - fixed several bugs where the NULL player (used for torpedoes and turrets) would throw errors when they collide or can't do things
   
   This is in addition to all the previous enhancements. Here are the highlights:

• Better customizable sinking/crashing crafts (exploding when they hit, continuing to move, crashing at different speeds)
• Massive speed improvements
• Much less redstone activation while moving (although repeaters are still a problem)
• Meta data / damage value tags supported in .craft files. Put them in quotes, ie: "5:3"
• Multiple Flyblock entries, also supporting above meta data tags. Put them in brackets, ie:
  
  flyblocks:
  ["5:1","5:2","5:3",35]:
  - 50.0
  - 100.0
  
  
  this would include spruce, birch, and jungle oak planks as well as any kind of wool, which would all count towards the flyBlock requirement. But it would not include oak ("5:0"), acacia ("5:4"), or dark oak planks ("5:5")
  
  I will give it a few days and do some testing, and then submit everything to AJCStriker to post the next release version.

I'm afraid I don't like it. Sinking/crashing is meant to be a catastrophic and often fatal situation. Certainly for the craft involved. Running out of fuel happens all the time, and people would get frustrated if they lost their expensive and time consuming creations every time it happened. Not to mention that airships don't sink when they run out of fuel.

I was able to reproduce the problem with redstone popping off dispensers. Something I recently changed to prevent dispensers from firing during movement must have broken it again. I'll work on it.

EDIT: the destroyer from schematics online is a little old and unfortunately that website does not allow me to update it. It has chests in the back arrange in a diagonal pattern vertically. When it sinks, that sometimes causes problems because the top chest sinks down to being inline with the bottom chest. Remove the chests and it should be fine.

@TheCoolGuy123_5_Minecraft_

Yeah, the "Functional Destroyer" is one of my designs, I use it all the time without redstone popping off. I wonder if another plugin may be interfering with the redstone cleanup. What other plugins do you run? What server version are you on?

Unfortunately the only way to have crafts that have been released sinkable would be to retain each craft in memory indefinitely, which would bring servers to their knees. Launching fighters on a sinking ship leads to collision problems, but I may put something in place in the future.

@TheCoolGuy123_5_Minecraft_

Could you save a schematic or provide a screenshot so I can see the exact configuration of redstone that is falling off? Redstone working is important to me, and I want to make sure people can't abuse the system to get free redstone drops. They used to be able to, but I thought I fixed it. You are using the latest version from the link I gave you, right?

@TheCoolGuy123_5_Minecraft_

Ok, one thing at a time:

1. I assume you mean you added it to forbiddenBlocks. I'm sure you discovered why you shouldn't don't do that, because then it won't let you pilot a craft with a forbiddenBlock nearby. When you have this problem, it is easiest to solve it using the method in the video I sent you. You could also just take out the entry in the allowedBlocks for water (take out #8 and #9).
2. I need to know more about the circumstances when the redstone pops off. I use redstone all over my designs and don't have problems. It could be a specific configuration of redstone causing the issue. There was a bug with redstone on dispensers, but that is fixed in the most recent version. Please use the most recent version, found here: https://github.com/msummers123/Movecraft-3 - it has many bug fixes
3. Yes, snow blocks airships. Like in real life, you will need a strategy to deal with bad weather. Either don't fly in the snow, fly below the freezing altitude, or design an airship that snow doesn't stick to. If it gets frustrating, there are also plugins that can disable snow accumulation. Personally, I enjoy the realism this adds.
