Egregious abuse of magic by denizens of the Crystal City* has melted the icecaps, causing rampant flooding throughout Minequestria™. As waters inundated all but the tallest mountains**, it seemed as though land-based life was doomed to extinction and the world destined to become squid heaven, until Clubber-Of-Seals, renowned inventor and the last polar bear, created the Redstone R2 Engine, a remarkable device based on redstone blocks that allows conjoined blocks to move across the waters. With this invention, ponies have left their increasingly-small islands to search for more prosperous lands, and higher grounds.
 
*Actually, evidence as to the cause of the ice cap melt is unclear. However, when contacted about this claim, scientists shrugged their shoulders and said "Eh, why not? Fuck those guys."
**Scientists agree that the ice caps could not possibly contain this much water, suggesting that divine disfavor from Tsarbomb is involved. However, a crystal pony representing Tsarbomb stated that he had nothing to do with this matter, and blamed Aoloebio instead.
 
What's changing:
- The current world and nether will be replaced by a new, more watery world and nether. 
- Moving ships based off Movecraft have been added
- Infernals mobs will be rebalanced
- Giant spawn rate will be decreased
- Nether access will be restricted. Players will no longer be able to build their own nether portals, instead having to seek out an existing portal.
- Factions and PvP will be added
 
The transfer
Players can build a boat that will be transferred to the new world. Boats need to be in a body of water. The boat must be either of the yacht or skiff class (detailed below) and can contain 2 single chests worth of items. Multiple players can use the same boat. Player inventories and money will not be preserved. Classes, abilities, and class XP will not be lost in the transfer. 
 
Ships
Ships are constructs made of blocks that can be piloted via the Movecraft plugin. Ships (except skiffs) require a furnace with coal in it to serve as fuel. Ships also must be at least 1% redstone blocks in block count (so if you have a ship with 100 blocks total, it must have 1 redstone block). If a ship falls below this number of redstone blocks, it will sink. Ships have a maximum height of 50 blocks above the water; submarines have a maximum height of 5 blocks. There are several types of ships that can be built.
 
Skiff
Size: 100-500 blocks
Speed: Medium
Fuel Consumption: None
 
Yacht
Size: 500-3000 blocks
Speed: High
Fuel Consumption: Low
 
Cruiser
Size: 3000-7000 blocks
Speed: Medium
Fuel Consumption: Medium
 
Titan
Size: 7000-12000 blocks
Speed: Low
Fuel Consumption: High
 
Floating Fortress (F_Fortress)
Size: 12000-30000 blocks
Speed: Very Low
Fuel Consumption: Very High
Note: Floating Fortresses cannot rotate, though they can still move in all directions like all ships.
 
Submarine
Size: 100-6000 blocks
Speed: Low
Fuel Consumption: High
 

--------------------------------------------------

Piloting:
To pilot a ship, create a sign with the type of the ship on the first line (i.e. "Skiff"), then right click on it with a stick. If the ship is valid, then right click in any direction to move the ship in that direction. Ships cannot be connected to other buildings or land.  Type /release to let go of your ship.
 
Rotation:
To rotate a ship, create a sign with "[helm]" as the first line, then right click to turn it into a wheel. Left or right clicking on the wheel will rotate the ship in that direction around the wheel.
 
Cruising:
To cruise, create a sign with "Cruise: OFF" on the first line. Right click to turn cruising on. Your ship will automatically move in the direction of your sign. Note that cruising is more fuel efficient that normal maneuvering. Remember /release can be used to let go of your ship if it's out of control.
 

Repairing:

To be able to repair a ship, create a sign with "Repair:" on the first line. On the second line, type a UNIQUE name for the repair state, i.e. "ShipnameRepair". Place the sign anywhere in your ship. Left click to save your ship's repair state. Right click once to see the cost for repair, right click again to repair. Repairs need the necessary blocks, which will be taken from chests onboard your ship, and cost money per block.

 

Crew (Spawning on board):

To spawn on board after death, create a sign with "Crew:" on the first line, and the name of the player on the second line. Place the sign over a bed onboard your ship, then sleep in the bed. Your spawn point will now move with your ship.

 

Materials
Not all blocks are valid ship building materials. Notably, dirt, soil, grass, gravel, sand, sandstone, stone, stone brick, obsidian, melons, pumpkins, and double chests, cannot be part of a ship. Double slabs can be part of a ship, but cannot take up more than 20%.
 
The full list of block IDs that can be used in ships is here:

Ship Locking

Type /slock to place a block of obsidian at your feet. If done onboard a ship, this will prevent it from moving. Other players will not be able to remove the block. Type /slock again to remove the obsidian.

As shiplock is now broken, manually placing and breaking obsidian is the method for this version of locking. Other players are not allowed to break obsidian you place on-board, as per Rules of Engagement. If you do not like this method, there are other ways given to secure your ship, also listed in the Rules of Engagement.

Could you include the names of the blocks we're allowed to use? It's not as easy to find the number ids in-game anymore.
