This are quick and dirty instructions to rapidly get up and flying in Movecraft. We won't be covering permissions, or customization, or any of the other advanced features. For that, read the other materials on this website, or watch the longer tutorial.

1. Obtain a fresh install of Craftbukkit and run it once in order to create the directory structures we will be using.
   
2. Download the newest version of Movecraft from the main page and place it in your \plugins directory.
   
3. Start Craftbukkit again so it will create the Movecraft directory structure we will need.
   
4. Download the craft files from the bottom of the description text of this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fqiFtyz3FE and extract the .craft files from within the .zip into your plugins\Movecraft\types directory. - THIS IS COMMONLY MISSED
   
5. Open the ops.txt file in your Craftbukkit server directory. Add your Minecraft username to this file and save it. NOTE: this gives full rights to any user you specify here. It is a quick way to get Movecraft working, but it is highly recommended you set up rights more granularly for your users. See the tutorial for more details.
   
6. If you are using a version of Minecraft other than the one your Movecraft build was released for: Open the config.yml file found in plugins\Movecraft and add the line: "CompatibilityMode: true", (without quotes) then save the file.
   
7. Start your server one last time.
   
8. Open your Minecraft client and connect to your server.
   
9. In the game, find a spot that is on dirt or grass that is not near any trees or water. Place a redstone block on the ground. (This represents the ships engines)
   
10. Place any color of wool blocks in a square around the redstone block. You will need 8 wool blocks to complete the square around the redstone block.
    
11. Place a sign on top of one of the wool blocks. The first line of the sign must say only "Airskiff" (without quotes). The other lines can say anything you want. It is customary to name the craft, so you may add a name to the sign after the first line.
    
12. With a stick in your hands, right click on the sign you created. You should get a message saying "Successfully piloted craft!".
    
13. Now right click with the stick still in your hands in the direction you want the craft to go. You should be able to move in any direction as long as you are not blocked.
    
14. Now play around with the more advanced features. Maybe add a sign that says [helm] and right click it to turn it into a control wheel. Left and right click that sign to turn the ship. Maybe play around with more advanced features, like cruise control and fuel consumption. Customize your .craft file to make your dream machine.
    
15. Have fun!
