Hello! The plugin that makes it work is Movecraft, found here:
www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/
Of course, the guns work even without any mods or plugins, since they are just redstone devices. Also, if you are interested in getting this sort of thing in single player or a vanilla (unmodified) server, you may be interested in this:

That airship works with no plugins or mods, however it is not as complex.

Ah, I see. Well, as Movecraft is not available for 1.8, and with the current legal sillyness that seems unlikely to change anytime soon, I don't think I'll worry about it just yet. Just curious: how did you paste in the schematic in 1.8? I didn't think any schematic handling plugins worked in 1.8 yet.

Oh, or it could have been the pasting error. If you paste it, and you hear explosions, simply paste it again. Sometimes WorldEdit pastes a redstone torch off when it should be on or vice versa, and it can cause problems. Pasting again usually fixes it.

The main gun shouldn't explode unless you fire it while the airship is moving, or if you fire it too fast. Several people have told me about problems operating the TNT cannons on the ship that ended up being due to a bad release of the bukkit server. It turned out they released a version where TNT was all screwed up. I wonder if that happened to you?

Sadly, this design has been retired. The Goliath is roughly a successor to it, although its a very different design. And they only ever made one Goliath, for reasons that will become clear in the Airship Pirates video series.

Another good ship. Looks vaguely Shadow Of The Deep-ish :)
Keep up the good work, I love seeing more actual working warships on here!
Airship Frigate Class T Type A on June 19th, 2014 05:01 PM EST
This is my favorite one you have made (so far). Small, simple, and I like what you did with the recessed lighting in the fire guns. It looks great with my shader mod! Big ships are cool, but sometimes I prefer something small, easy to manage, and not quite so big of a target.
Airship Frigate Class S Type A on June 19th, 2014 05:00 PM EST
Hey, very cool design. Your approach to cannons is interesting. Lots of propellant, super high velocity shells. Faster recycle time than most of my designs. I wish Minecraft would render TNT at a greater distance so we could aim better. Or at least the explosions. Oh well...

This is the same basic ship as the one posted by Eddo, although this is more the "official" Silver Empire version as his has been customized for his own needs. Also I put a few fixes here and there, added armor to the bottom, and put signs throughout the ship telling you where everything is.
Eddo's may actually fly a little better though, after all the weight of the bottom armor and everything else, this one barely flies >.>

Yup! Well, I did warn ya :)
Although if you get the latest build of movecraft from my github page it's quite a bit better:
https://github.com/msummers123/Movecraft-3
I have mode some optimizations that haven't made their way to the released version yet

Wow, very pretty!

Oops! I apologize, I didn't see the bottom was cut off. I have uploaded the new, fixed version and I will delete this shortly.

Very nice. Glad to see you have put the plugin to good use! The next version will make things even better, like one-click launch torpedoes that you can shoot as many at once as you want, and better pilot controls. A fighter like this would be perfect for Direct Control, where when you move, it moves the fighter.

Cool ship. I always like seeing what people make for the plugin.

Note that they don't actually have to be made from Obsidian. They can be, but they don't have to be.

Sorry for the repost, the first version was corrupted.

This has been updated. While this older design still works for the most part, I recommend you use this new one:

I could make a bigger submarine, although I can't think of a way to make the missiles work. I could do simple horizontal moving rockets that would work like the torpedoes of this submarine I made:
http://www.minecraft-schematics.com/schematic/1811/
But that doesn't seem to fit the bill. Maybe a big submarine with TNT cannons? Although, the Minecraft oceans really aren't deep enough for big submarines anyway. Hopefully they will be in 1.7.2.
