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
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

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 |

Posted Dec 2, 2012Hi, I just did some testing on this plugin, so here's my first impression: -Apparently the signs only work when attached to a wall. I tried signs standing on the ground and was unable to move my airship. You could let people only create wall-signs and give out a message if they try to place the sign on the ground. -If you come close to anything that can be part of a ship it will be part of your ship. I got too close to a lighttower and started flying around with it. Also if two ships crash they will become one. Maybe give out the "Obstacle on the course" message already if there is only 1 block air between the wall and the ship? -If you have a chest/furnace on board and move it will loose it's contents. As I read this is already on your ToDo list. -The Ship can contain Pistons(33) and Stickypistons(29). You could also add the Expanded Pistonhead(34) and the Block that is currently being moved by a piston(36). -Beacons can be moved but loose their effect when doing so. Again it's a problem with the data stored in the block. Maybe the solution comes clear when adding support for chests and furnaces. -Please make TNT movable. You can't have a good air-fight without bombers! :) You could even make the list of movable blocks completely configurable. -Maybe you could also move all entities that are within a 1 block radius around a block, that is part of the ship? This would make it possible to transport animals and mobs AND it would make it possible to use paintings and item-frames on the ship. I really want to put a compass in an item-frame next to my steering-wheel. -Make the boat stop if there is no player nearby. Last time I saw a player disconnect on the server and his boat happily sailed into the horizon. I don't know where it would've ended it's jurney if I hadn't stopped it.
Well, that's everything I found so far. This is a really nice plugin and I hope you don't forget about it too soon. I'll treat you to a beer if you fix any of this. :D

The way I usually make ships with this plugin is make it have an [engine] and an [EOT] facing forward, and then have an [engine] facing each side. use the engines to move sideways.

Posted Nov 29, 2012I just realized that my ship wouldn't be able to move sideways, making it so I'd have to do some sort of complex maneuver to dock with my space station. Can you please add moving sideways in a future version? I would greatly appreciate it, this plugin is far better than movecraft, I just need to move sideways.

Posted Nov 28, 2012This plugin is amazing, I ask though could you add slabs? I need them very badly. It's hard to make a good ship without slabs, very hard.

another thing you may want to try to look at is the ability to move animals, i was on my server a week or so ago, and was looking for sheep, and i found like 10... Loaded them up, and no sooner i hit a control sign, all of them fell into the void (this was on a skylands map). So just check that out, it may just be my server, but im curious to hear your thoughts!!! thanks!!! and i love the plugin :D

Posted Nov 24, 2012I love your plugin and plan to use it in my server (mc.planetwindward.com) which is still under development. The only thing I don't like about it is the sign for fuel doesn't spin with the ship, but I understand that could be difficult to fix. My advice would be to make it a different block instead of the cauldron, which is sad since you did such a good job with visualizing the fuel supply with it. Thank you for your hard work.
