Red Sky At Night Sailors Delight. Red Sky In The Morning Sailors Take Warning.

[Beowwulf]

There needs to be some kind of sailing mechanism in the water world. And possibly some kind of steam punk submarine (Redstone operated. Slow and can't go deeper than a certain depth also possible to break but hard. This will be all I say on the submarine.) But it's just that It would be really cool for say a faction to have a ship maybe about as big as the ones off the harbor in Regalia. And sail it across the ocean.

It would make cannons a lot more useful and almost a necessity because of the threat of cannon warfare. And people would use diamond blocks for more than just altars armor and tools. People would buy them for ammunition and thus the price of diamonds would go up. (I never liked them so cheap.) If this were to be implemented I think islands here and there like maybe 3 fairly large ones and about 20 small ones here and there.

Obviously that no one could claim to prevent people from hogging the little land there is. But it would be places to park ships. I don't know if there is a mechanism to claim the ship ans ship only. But I imagine as great as Cay is he could do it. (Not a coder just buttering him up )

I also don't know how this would work without major lag. But if it's possible it would be awesome.

It would just be awesome. Cap'n could be a real pirate.

The problem with any of this is making it a bukkit plugin and not a mod. You would have to make sure it adds nothing to the game and only uses what it already has. But I do believe this could possibly be done, now if only the colder/s had time.

Why does it say beggar under my name?

Because you put beggar under your name in your profile options.

I didn't actually. But i figured it out. It's a rating system i have 50 points so I

I hate to rain on your parade bro, but Hadar's been canceled.

if it isn't, I suggest that claiming not be turned off, and islands be somewhat common and not SUPER tiny. Maybe multiblock structures with cannons that could move as boats would be something that they could add, maybe it's impossible within the confines of massivecraft and vanilla minecraft. who knows xD

MonMarty I know you probably get bugged a lot with things like this. I just want to know if it's possible.

Also are you sure that's not just rumor. I'd hate to spread stuff like that.

Such a ship plugin is very possible. I once found a server that had an airship plugin, and it worked fairly well, plus the airships could be made private. I don't see why a boat plugin can't be made.

First, please think about where you post your threads. Second, as a coder, yes, this is somewhat possible, but at the same time, no. Just no. I'm saying no because of these reasons:

• As you said, major lag due to movement, glitches, redstone, etc.
• It will, in my opinion, be very hard to control the way I would plan to make it, so it wouldn't even be worth your time
• You shouldn't be able to drive it into enemy base, but if enemies claim it in wilderness, oh well, your ship is screwed up because you can't use your cannons or levers/buttons for redstone
• Ships crashing into each other or going onto land/island/structure will just break everything and was exactly the same reason why the original blimp idea was shot down
• People would find ways to exploit it, for example if the lowest level of water that ships could go in was y = 60, people would make their own oceans around their ports y = 80, thus having their ship underwater but not breaking the actual rule, and that would also look like grief
• Factions permissions would be bugged and Cayorion would have to fix that as well, which he nor anybody else wants to do
• Doesn't help RP that much if people build small rafts but shove in a horde of cannons connected to one lever which manually fires all of them at the same time. Ugly ships and grief would result

It's red sky at night, shepherds delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning. Pfft, get it right.

I do believe the more common saying does say sailors. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight. Granted, they mean almost the same thing. However I also think that it is something that sailors are more likely to make up the shepherds, seeing as how sailors would deal a lot more with storms, (being the reason that saying exists) then shepherds.

Actually, this saying was said BCE as shepherds would have taken care of their flocks WAY before ships were invented. Anyway, they would look at the sky and Red sky in the morning would mean bad weather so they would take their flocks to a safe place and at night, they could relax because it means good weather.

History isn't that accurate before ships were invented, and neither was language. This saying most likely originated in Europe, (for obvious reasons) in which sailing was a rather significant part of people's common lives. Shepherds would not have the same stake in the weather as sailers, because for a shepherd, the worst that can happen is a severe thunderstorm, which is only life threatening if you either get struck by lightning, or are lost during it. For sailors however, their lives rest on being able to know when it will storm, because of the multitude of things that could happen as a result. This is why this saying would most likely have originated with sailors, although some earlier recorded history has had other mentions of similar methods of predicting the weather. None of them, however, were before sailing, or the very high risk of sailing unprepared in a storm, and still likely had more to do with the sea then the sheep.
