 So that is a bug where for some reason it doesn't register you as a entity. Because it occurs only sometimes its difficult to test for to work out whats going on. 

I will be writing in some code to produce data that will help this but that requires people to send that data to me as I am one who believes that server owners should have control of all data produced by there server. 

In reply to Stellate_Zealot:

 Thanks to one of the amazing community members, they helped me figure it out whats going wrong. In the next update (BETA 8.2) it should be fixed

 Hi.

Ram wise I test on a server with 500MB and it runs flawlessly with that. I personally have not looked at how much ram is actually used, however the latest version of ships was designed not to take up much. The limit is more the processor of the server. While any processor made in the last decade works fine, some are slower then others. 

Personally when it comes to ram, i wouldnt be surprised if the minimum is around 100mb to run spigot/paper and Ships without any issues, if you have less then by all means try it. 

The default config is designed for the worst possible setup I could think of (tested on a tablet with 2GB of ram and a 2010 Atom processor - thats Windows, Java, the server and the client all running on it - all of which ran flawlessly as long as everything was set to run at worst possible settings. 

Changing the sign text. Its not there yet but it is coming. Once it appears you will find it in either the message config or the actual config.

As for sub-crafts. I guess its possible with the right config settings however its not supported or recommended sadly

In reply to yeremyahu:

 Hehe. I get that a lot (that im a quick replier). Sorry about the other devs, i can guarantee that on a official platform for ships, you get a reply within 24 hours, but normally its much less then that. 

As for replacement for movecraft, Both Movecraft and Ships started development at roughly the same sort of time, so i wouldnt call it a replacement but I know what you mean. Sadly movecraft works very different to Ships so sadly it wont be a drop in and expect it to convert everything (just to be clear)

I have a few youtube videos showing stupidly large ships working on Ships 6 R1 (which you cannot get anymore however R2 you can and the algorithm is roughly the same). I believe the largest was 120,000 but don't quote me on that ;) im pretty sure it could go larger too. The algorithm which moves ships is very good at keeping your server lag free and not crashing either. The speed of it depends on your config so watch out for that. 

Edit:

Once i get beta 8 running (a lot has changed under the hood so dont expect it anytime soon) ill update the videos to show R2 in action

In reply to yeremyahu:

 Just looked at movecraft again. The new developer (the one who brought it to 1.12.2) is still working on it. The 1.13 branch of movecraft was updated 2 days ago, so it maybe that its stuck in development hell?  TBH i cannot say much, Ships 1.13+ isn't fully released yet XD 

But good luck with your server, if you need help at all i am more then happy to add features or respond to any help or queries you have

 The default configuration file is designed to allow even the weekest of servers the ability to run Ships at the cost of being slow. 

You can speed up Ships within its config by changing the stack values. To get faster moving ships you want to lower the "delay" value and increase the "Limit" value. 

You will find there are 3 stacks to modify within the config, each stack relates to a different stage of the plugin. You can find out what stage the ships movement is at using the bossbar: visible: true option. So depending on what section is slow will depend on which values you focus on. 

Most high end servers seem to get around a limit of 120 with a delay of 1 tick on both movement and block finding. Entity tracking most high end servers can get around 750. 

Hope that helps.

Just to let you know, Minecraft Java edition is a game which hates something called "multi-threaded workloads" so you will find that from your two processors, one will be working really hard with the other not so much (unless your running multiple servers). To gain multiple processors it means you probably have two Intel Xeons, the Xeon family are known for a lot of cores that are only ok at single core performace. Therefore you may find that a single Core I9 or Ryzen processor will perform better for a server then two Xeons.

 What do you mean by de-materializes? 

In reply to tenitikgaming:

 yep that will happen on the newer versions, by doing so it makes the server lag less (can reduce it completely). If you dont like it then you can make it go back to the previous way (such as Ships 1-5) then you can change it back in the config. 

Advanced:
  Movement:
    Default: ships:movement_ships_six
    Stack:
      Limit: 2
      Delay: 1
      DelayUnit: TICKS

 You should see something like this in the config. The line that starts with "Default" under "Movement", change "ships:movement_ships_six" to "ships:movement_ships_five" and then boot your server back up. 

In reply to princeofrage413:

 Depends on the settings you already have. There sadly isnt an option for immediate just simply because there are so many calculations required + ships is flighting a limitation of Minecraft which doesn't help. 

If you send over your config i can tell you what you can do to make movement more immediate.
