Miniship
Battleship in Minecraft
What is Miniship?
Miniship is a nearly fully-automated game of Battleship, the classic boardgame. It relies heavily on command blocks and redstone.

What makes Miniship unique?
-Miniship features a block-placement ship and firing system. Instead of the conventional approach of hitting buttons to fire, players merely place blocks in the desired location during ship placement and salvos. -Miniship also automatically updates both players on hits and misses. -Miniship is more server-friendly than many other battleship maps.
-Miniship is fully reset-able, no need to re-download or duplicate the map.
How do I get it?
Please let me know what you think of it in the replies!
If the download leads to a broken page, hit the view downloads button instead and download from there. I've probably recently updated the map files.
Yes, It only works with the later 1.9 snapshots and 1.9 itself
More Information
The map you see today is four years in the making, it is finished, but may include optional alternate rules in the future provided there is interest.
Server Owners: I am willing and able to install this map on your server. Contact me and we can figure out the details.
Youtubers: Make my day. Make a video. Let me know and your video will appear in the video area above.

Miniship 1.0.1 is live, bringing with it bugfixes that I discovered while making a promo video *facepalm*. Good news is they're fixed now. Please let me know immediately if you discover a bug. I want the map to function as intended and I will work diligently to make it so.

I released Miniship 1.0.2 last night, re-fixing a bug I thought that I'd squashed in 1.0.1, oh well. It's gone now.
As a side note, for those of you who have or are about to download the map, please come back here and post a reply telling me how you found it. I want to improve the map in any way that I can, but unless I hear back there isn't much I can do. If you loved the map, say so! If you hated it, say so (and tell me why)! I want to hear from you.

Hey!
So I just attempted to play this with my husband and I hit a major bug!
He joined team red and I joined team blue, and all started off well. We both placed all our ships... and it was then I say the "Player Red is ready" message and realized I never got one. We tried resetting, and switching sides, etc. but nothing we did resulted in the Blue side being ready - and we were unable to play.
If you are able to fix this, I know I would love to try it again! The battleship placing was amazing redstone and I can't wait to see the game in action!
Thanks!
(Aslo, just an opinion thing, but the lapis blocks inside the red chamber should be replaced with a red block like redstone or red stained clay... otherwise it looks like two blue sides )

I'll look into it immediately. Can you tell me which version of the map you were using when you experienced this bug? Also, sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I thought the Minecraft Forums sent you an email when someone posted on your topic. Guess not. Nice to finally get some real feedback though, it would be hard to fix bugs like this if nobody told me about them.
Edit:
It's worth noting that since the last time I posted I did fix some more bugs, 1.0.3 is out now. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is in 1.0.3. If your version is 1.0.3 then I may have to run a game with a friend at some point. Otherwise run 1.0.3 and let me know if the problem persists, in the meantime I'll keep digging.
Edit:
Figured it out. It's a weird thing (bug?) that happens with repeater command blocks that require no redstone, sometimes they need to be turned off and back on again once before working. *rolls eyes* I'll have the fix uploaded sometime tonight.
Final edit:
Also, you're completely right about the aesthetic thing. It was something I pondered while constructing the map and I'll change it in a future update. I wanted to get the bugfix out ASAP tonight and I'm not on my usual PC (what with travelling for Thanksgiving and such). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and let me know if you discover any more bugs!

Okay! First things first - AWESOME redstone! The map works perfectly now!
We played a few games back to back and it all ran perfectly.
We are both going to record a let's play for this map on Saturday, so if there are any last minuite things you want to do just let me know I will download an updated version Saturday before we start if need be!
Once again, awesome work man! Loved it!

Glad to hear it worked for you! I was able to do a little playtesting of my own and discovered some bugs and oddities that I felt deserved to be addressed. I also switched out the lapis for redstone blocks on the red side. 1.0.5 is available, but I haven't tested it and can't say with 100% certainty that it's playable. Try it and if it doesn't work for you, drop back to 1.0.4. Thanks so much! Please link me to your videos at some point!
Absolutely loved the map. Thank you for making this and sharing. We are looking forward to seeing the updates as this was a lot of fun.
We did a Let's Play of your map to show how much fun we had. We shared a link here and to your profile in the description (let me know if you would like anything else).

I'm in the process of adding both the Bonus Mission and the Salvo Mission. Bonus is done and has been tested to some degree. Salvo is also "done" but is in need of more testing. I may upload the map anyway with a warning that Salvo may still have issues.
