Enable archimede's ships mod on a server

[boman01]

Good day,
I play FTB Horizons on a server and I wanted to make an airship.
The server won't let me craft the helm and other mod related items.
The mod is disabled on the server and I was wondering how to enable it.

Thank you.

I have heard that it can cause problems on servers. But I would confirm that yourself.

Yep, regular Archimedes ships can bring a server to its knees. Archimedes ships with modded tile entities on it can outright crash a server. They're neat in concept, but not practical by any means.

If the server is your own and you have access to the files you can do the following to enable the airships:

--In your FTB launcher--
Select the modpack, click "edit mod pack"
Find ArchimedesShips in the disabled list.
Select it and click Enable.
Done!

--On your server--
Save and Stop your server.
Navigate to the folder where your server is located.
Inside there should be a folder titled "mods", open it.
In this list look for "ArchimedesShips-1.6.x-1.4.5.zip.disabled"
Rename it, remove the ".disabled"
It should now say "ArchimedesShips-1.6.x-1.4.5.zip"
Done!
-------
Launch your server, start your game, and away you go!

From my experience (running a server with 5-6 people at peak hours) it is relatively safe to use. The passenger seat tends to desync between server/client with the passenger (they see their self fall out, they are still seated according to the server, strange things start happening, once ship is parked all the problems are resolved with no harm done).
