Looking for Dev builds?

Dev builds give off new features and bug fixes before they are officially released, however these features and bug fixes may not have been tested as much as a release on here

Link to dev builds

Old page:

I am testing this new page out. I am aware of some parts that are missing such as ship types, but please say if there is anything that you wish to see. I plan on making a FAQ's that includes common questions such as how to change ship requirements.

If you want to see the old page, it is here

Video tutorial

Ships 6 changes

Ships has gone through many changes, Ships 6 is the latest rewrite of the plugin. The latest rewrite fixes multiple bugs found in the root of previous versions of Ships.

Features

Moving ships

As the name of the plugin suggests, you can create your own ship and move it with just a single click.

Works with all blocks

There is a fully-fledged list where you can configure every block to react differently for the ships, including being able to add a block type to interact with Ships, detect it as a collide, and even not react at all.

Teleport to ships

There have been many requests to be able to teleport to ships for not only this plugin but others like it. This feature has been added to Ships, however, if it is something you do not wish, then you can disable to command by not adding the command.

Falling Ships

Ships will fall/sink if requirements are not met, this could be done through your own interaction such as running out of fuel, or by something else such as a TNT explosion.

Ship types

Airship	Link
Ship	Link
Marsship	Link
Submarine	Link
Plane	Link
Hybridship	Coming soon

Move the ship:

In Ships, movement is done by signs. You can see all signs here

Collide types:

Name	ID	Description
Detect collide	DETECT_COLLIDE	If Ships detects this block in the way of a ship moving then the ship will not move with the error of this block being in the way
Material	MATERIAL	Material means that you can build a ship out of this block and the Ships block detection system will detect it as part of your ship
Ignore	IGNORE	If Ships detects this block in the way of a ship moving then the block will break and the ship will take its place

Ships 5.1 Alpha 1 is a ... Well ... Alpha. So its the very first version of 5.1 that is up for the public to test so its not you, its the plugin.

I have not finished all the signs yet. There is a new sign being introduced and eot needs work.

As for your ship not working. That shouldn't happen. Could you post your configuration file?

Sorry about Ships 5.1 being a very unstable alpha. Due to the huge amount of changes in Minecraft 1.13 everything including Bukkit has needed a lot of TLC to even do somewhat what it originally did (with a few rare exceptions). Ships sadly was not one of those exceptions so I have been working for months to try and get it working based on hunchs and guesses of how bukkit would work and then fine tune when bukkit finally did release the api

I should have a new alpha releasing soon that has a lot of fixes but not any new features like enabling the eot sign in the next two weeks (been away from my laptop to update ships).

Edit:

Sorry for rambing

It's fine, I completely understand that it's in Alpha and might not work correctly I just thought I'd mention the problems I was having in case it could help in any way. I can try to give you the config file but I'm not sure which one you mean, I didn't really mess with anything in it so it should all be the same unless the website I host my server off of messed it up. This is what the config.yml file in the configuration folder says.

Structure:
StructureLimits:
airCheckGap: 120
trackLimit: 5000
VesselLoading:
DeleteFailedLoads: false
Version: 5.1.0.0

(It didn't copy the spacing for some reason, Idk if that's important or not I'm not really the best at coding. xD)

Thanks for understanding. As for the config i reasently found out (as in 3 hours ago) that the config doesnt get created properly and if it doesnt get created properly then it causes so many issues. But it looks like yours created properly .... Its just small compared to mine (not sure whats missing without seeing a properly created config instead of my config file which has been update version by version since Ships 5.0.0.0)

Would you mind sending me your server ip so I can take a look? I take it there are no errors in the console?

Good to know. Please note that I am currently using a tablet with a trackpad and no mouse, the keys on the keyboard disable themselves when the touchscreen or trackpad is in use. so I will have a lovely job.

Also not sure if Bukkit still dont allow sending server ips on forums so if you can send it over private message (click my account and then select message)

Yeah this came up in testing. Forgot to add it to the issues. Ill add it now.

The fix for it is simple, just right click ths license sign after every move. That issue and the fuel issue is on my priority list of things to fix

Would it be possible for me to visit your server? If so private message your server address and ill come on to take a look. I need as much information as possible to fix bugs.

Please also note that Ships 5.1 is in alpha state and should not be ran on public servers

Ships 6 is back on the development again (this doesn't affect 5.1's development).

In the mean time enjoy Ships 5.1 Alpha 1

I have an airship 953 blocks in total.. yet it says 842? Can somebody please tell me why it does this, and if there are certain blocks that cannot be used? I have doors, glowstone, slabs, so those might be problematic? Either way, it will not allow me to fly my ship as there is "blocks in the way" even though its attached, I know there are no unconnected diagonal blocks, and there isn't any redstone except buttons for the doors. Please help me, thanks! (This is partially irrelevant now bc I know what the problem is. I just cant get the fix through config)

In reply to TrentonThePanda:

In the configuration file, changing the "datavalue_X" (where X is the second ID or as -1 for all) change the value to 1.

Glowstone and Slabs are fine and have been tested multiple times with Ships. However double blocks (such as doors) will cause issues due to how Bukkit handles double blocks and how Ships interacts with bukkit.

Ships 5.1 should have a fix for double blocks as Bukkit was rewritten for 1.13 on handling blocks and ships has been too

Hi @MoseMister

Would there be any possibility of making it so you can remote control the ship?

By this I mean the following, you can use your autopilot, and you can make your ship go to the place, without you being there.

One example of this would be: You die and are at spawn, you /ships autopilot your vessel 100 blocks outside of spawn to pick you up.

Can it be done?

Thank you!

Also, when will you update ShipsNoCollide? If a ship collides into a mountain my TPS goes down to 0.1-1.0 TPS and well, you know that isn't too good. Thank you for your time.

In reply to ellimist_prime:

Hi sorry about the late reply. The notification didnt come to me that I had until 2 days later.

For AutoPilot question. Autopilot will automatically move the ship to a location specified. You can use the command

/autopilot <ship type> <x> <y> <z>

The issue you might have is if the chunk the ship is moving into is unloaded then it wont move. Sorry about that.

As for ShipsNoCollide, had no idea that it was out of date. I was going to update for Ships 5.1, but ill take a look for Ships 5.0.1.14

Good news everyone.

So it is 1:13 in the morning and I have just found out that Bukkit has released a 1.13 build of mc pre release 7.

This means i can finally test Ships for 1.13 and fix any issues that arise before its public release (Ships 5.1) so yay bukkit.

Before everyone runs off to download this 1.13 version of Bukkit, I advise reading the forum post on the Spigot home page, goes into detail about 1.13 Bukkit in terms of this pre release and for the real thing when it releases.

If you bothered to read the developer notes on that page (most people are not developers to I except you to skip it) you will know that the Bukkit API for 1.13 is not finished and could change before its public release, so Ships may need to change too before its public release as well.

I will hopefully have more news later on.

Hey Mose!

my server admin is running version 5.0.1.14 of your plugin on minecraft version 1.12.2

couple of questions:

1) is this version compatible with the version of MC listed above?

2) how do I know what I am missing for the purposes of making an airship? I've constructed something that i am certain is > 60% wool, but i dont have any response from the signs at all. I made the 4 required signs for this item, and put the requisite block on fire like in your video. it registers that i have a ship, and that there's fuel. the issue i see is it doesnt do anything when i steer the helm or try to gain altitude. Any tips or suggestions?

Hi.

So yes ships 5.0.1.14 is fully compatible with mc 1.12.2.

As for moving the ship, if you click on any of the movement signs (move, altitude or wheel) it should tell you what is wrong. If it doesnt check your console log for a crash at any point.

I am more then happy to help in any way possible so if you still can not move your ship, private message me your server ip and I will take a look.

I've spoken to the admin, and it I think it's permissions? Only he ever gets a response from the signs, and it tells him he needs 0.0 wool.
