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 |

Where is the file? I don't see it. I only see "R: Ships 2.1 for CB 1.4.2-R0.2 Nov 03, 2012"
Or did you mean that it should be possible to download in some time?

Posted Apr 11, 2013And honestly, I do think that inserting unobtrusive ads into a plugin is a great idea for getting some profit out of your work without costing users. (I'm not going to say that I like advertisements, I just said it was a good idea.)

Posted Apr 11, 2013What kind of ads? I mean, what products will you be advertising? Servers?

You're abandoning the project now? Could you at least give us what you've done recently ie the working chests and furnace-fuel tanks

ok.
Your plugin is still the only one that provides what im after. I really hope you dont abandon. And to be honest im going to be pleased to see the new engine. And in the next version when you implement your donate system I would probably donate, esp if you had some way of having more than one EOT on a ship each at a different speed.
I would be wary of getting too commercialized might not be the best thing but i guess as long as you arent crippling it without the donation. if the ads were great huge things then that wouldnt be good.

Currently sign control is implemented for piloting and rotating.
With the engine block it will be possible to fly using only signs, although the stick will remain in place for precision motion. Also this is a question that is far more fitting for movecraft's page.

With your plugin is it possible to have an engine block (with fuel usage) and completely control the craft via signs?

Posted Apr 10, 2013just a shot in the dark here but if you make people have to pay for a ad free version of your plugin most of the time what people do is take the ad version they have and just steal and rewrite the code to be adless.

Currently Ships is nearly a feature subset of movecraft. With the next update, and our engine block, it will be a complete subset. The choice belongs to the admins themselves.
In terms of money, I would love to get financial rewards from movecraft, sadly I see very little, but thats not what I'm here to do. I cannot say I condone Qx2's decision but I certainly sympathise with it.

AJCStriker, I have a huge amount of respect for you, Movecraft, and MadRealms.
The addition of "ads" appears to be a game changer for everyone trying to use Ships. Honestly, if you used Qx2's code for his Auto-Flying EOT signs and adapted it to Movecraft, I'm sure you'd pull even more people to your plugin and servers (from an entrepreneurial standpoint). You'd basically have a simpler, better version of Ships in full English.
Point being; I know it'd be a bit of work, but I am sure you'd reap the rewards.

Posted Apr 10, 2013Easy ads will appear sporadically, so that most of you probably even playing them will not be seen.As I said, I'm done with Minecraft so the alternative is to abandon the project. I do not know if you know but writing or improvement of such plug-ins to several hours. During this time, instead of working I can watch a movie or go for a beer with friends. I am no longer young, and price your time.
Once one of you AJCStriker urged to quickly ended the amendment because his players have bought the permissions to the 50$ to movecraft. So excuse me but a lot of your argument does not appeal to me.
Version without ads will cost you any donation.
Sample ad appears in the beta so we will be able to decide if you like this solution.People who ever gave something a donation will have a version without ads for free.

re-read
seriously dude, ive been looking at your plugin in a view to using it if it can be adapted to work how i want it. I'm talking about Movercraft (thats moovERcraft) it was an old plugin i set up once, broke on an update and found that only way of getting further updates was to do a full price donation.

Who was talking about your plugin?
secondly, I dont mind donating, thats not the issue.
I accept donations, and have no issues about making donations. what I'm saying is that once its something you "buy" in this kind of environment, you're in a whole different ball game and the majority of people wont play it.

ok 1: just google it. When i was trying to get that particular plugin i kept getting faced with a wall that basicly said "its for 1 partuclar server now, and only given to donators"
secondly:
Why are you taking strawman argument here? I'm only making a brief side mention of movercraft and not trying get into any form of conversation on it. I'm talking about Ships.
I was also talking about movercraft ... not movecraft or autocraft .. looks like they have abandoned it, which to be honest only further pushes my point i guess.

Sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about.
Movecraft is open sourced under GPL, is available on Bukkit Dev and published on GitHub.
Movecraft is currently superior to autocraft in terms of performance, and with integration with DerPavlov's cannons, features. However my main concern is why you think Movecraft is a for sale piece of software.
