Ships still uses https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/ships to provide information on upcoming updates, alphas and betas. I also personally reply much quicker on there compared to here too.
What is Ships?
Ships is associated as one of 'MoveCrafts' rivals, however we can guarantee you that Ships is moving away from this idea, by adding features that you would probably not see in MoveCraft but are useful for the servers this plugin is designed for.
Ships is a plugin that allows you to create medium sized vessels in water, ontop of water and in air. Ships is simple to use because it only uses signs to control the vessels. No annoying commands to learn, or 'wands' needed, it's just plain simple signs.
As time moves forward this plugin improves. This is MoseMister's first plugin and he is still learning from the endless world of craftbukkit. This being said, some features of this plugin maybe 'glitchy' so you have been warned. Qx2 does not work on this plugin any more so all the updates and taking care of the top priority 'users' lies on MoseMister alone, so all help is appreciated.
Isn't this the really buggy plugin?
Ships has been known for its bugs however Ships 5 and above cleared out almost all of the bugs from Ships 4 and lower.
User created content
All the youtube videos, the Ships community (thats you) have made I could not thank enough for.

Are you a developer?
The image at the top labeled 'source code' leads to the github Ships 5+ page. But if you want to just start developing for Ships you can go to the Ships 5+ api page located here. This will tell you some things that you can do with the api.
The api is always developing, fixing bugs and issues and adding new parts to the API to make your programming life as simple as possible. If you wish to add something to the api. Don't be scared, just send a request on GitHub (preferred) or here (not preferred) and it will be taken care of.

Hi. Hit the discussion tab and make your reply in there as this is for reviews. Could you go into more detail on what you mean? As long as your running any Minecraft version between 1.13-1.15.X then the latest will work

Great plugin, progress from old versions is just awesome.
Only things i hate is steering around [Ships] sign instead of [wheel] and the lack of any readme, explanation of config files or any tutorial how to configure or create new types.-
Author's Response
Hi. I am more then happy to make it so you can change the rotation point in the config. As for readme, there isnt plans for that, but there is plans for a up to date tutorial and page info closer to full release.
You can see the development of this page on the bukkit page for ships (its in the pages tab).
Thanks for the review.

that steering is a pain. stick will be better. And all that could looks better if you use falling blocks with no gravity instead normal blocks and some barrier blocks to allow walk on it but that last one is only a hint. that would makes ships > movecraft.

Author's Response
Thanks for your review.
Being clucky I would disagree but thanks for the suggestion to use sticks (wands) instead. Personally I never liked using wands where I could and nether did the original developer. We both put it as "selling" points.
As for falling blocks. There are two technical reasons on why this can not happen on Bukkit
First the performance - servers don't do well with lots of entities on screen at once and well falling blocks are entities.
The second being a limit on Bukkits part. I run out of character spaces explaining it but I am more then happy to over private or public message. However in other server apis such as sponge this is a none issue

This plugin works very well on my server and is performing better than any of the other vehicle plugins! Is there something preventing ships from moving into worldguard regions?
-
Author's Response
Thanks. As for world guard, all the original "Addons" are planned to come back for Ships 6 when it fully releases. I sadly haven't had time to work on Ships for the past couple of weeks though.

I just do not work from the 1.12.2 plugins it comes:
[18:37:41 ERROR]: Could not load 'plugins/Ships.jar' in folder 'plugins'-
Author's Response
It seems like your using Ships 6.0.0.0 that doesn't work for 1.12.2. Use Ships 5.0.1.14 for 1.12.2.
Also use the discussion tab for error reporting please. That way you can reply to this comment ;)
