BlockEntities
I have started the practical use of this plugin as a test. I am attempting to make it so that you can spawn block entities and control them. Deletion and other easy use commands are next on my list of things to do. Than easy block entity movement.
What it is
The BlockEntities plugin is a development plugin in which you will be able to create block entities and have them react in certain ways. Hopefully, if this advances enough, you'll be able to create things like a moving train that doesn't go block by block, but goes more smoothly!
Update
Err, having slight problems with what was going to be the release. If you run the block to entity conversion command more than once, the server gives you a error, and the client crashes because the renderer fails rendering a FallingBlock entity with id 0. Well, back to the drawing board.

Not with similar trajectory, I think i want to be able to have people create creations and turn them into entites that stick together, sort of like AutoCraft, but in this plugin the creations won't snap to the minecraft world grid.
@Zuksaru
No, I want to create a (hopefully) easily configurable plugin in which you are able to use the FallingBlock entity to create things in minecraft that don't snap to a grid. In theory, you could create a boat or something, but the lag might be bad.
Please if this works make a way to make Q.U.B.E in minecraft. that would be great. Q.U.B.E stands for Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion. It sounds like it was made just for minecraft. look it up if you dont know the game. It is where you use two gloves (Left and right click) to move blocks around and out of walls. Right click pushes blocks into walls and left pulls. there are simple sliding blocks to blocks that spin a part of the wall. Please look it up and make this possible in minecraft bukkit.
Great Idea, I have had similar ideas and will probably do something along those lines in the future but I am only just learning to mod. You can already do almost the same thing in vanilla using MCEdit but I don't think there are many ways to ride them. Maybe a boat or minecart with similar trajectory?
Are you thinking of creating something like CreativeGuard? like when you drop an item it dissapears etc?
