BLOCKS AND ITEMS

Ship marker

The ship marker is the main block to create ships. It looks like a steering wheel, but it acts like a seat. Right click the block to create a ship out of connected blocks and mount it. See Features:Ship for information about the ship blocks.

Crafting recipe:

Measurement Gauges

This block currently contains two functional gauges. One gauge always points to the north, the other indicates the speed of the ship it is attached to. A whole circle equals 80 kilometres per hour.

It will look like this:

Crafting recipe:

Floater

The floater only has real functionality when advanced floating physics is enabled in the configuration file. It is simply a very lightweight block, that gives ships the ability to float.

Crafting recipe:

Balloon

This block does not have a function yet.

SHIP

Compile a ship

To create a ship, simply build it as you build everything in Minecraft. Then it needs a ship marker, which is the main block of the ship and your seat at the same time.

Once you right click the block, the ship you created will convert into a moveable chunk and you will mount it. All blocks connected to the ship marker will become part of your ship. However, the ship will never be larger than 16*16*16 blocks and none of the following blocks will be considered part of the ship:

• Dirt
• Grass
• Sand
• Gravel
• Clay
• Ice
• Water
• Lava
• Snow
• Water lily
• Netherrack
• Soul sand

Also consider that tile entities will work, but are not saved to disk. So watch out with storing items in ship chests/furnaces/etc..

Unmounting the ship again will decompile the mobile chunk into normal world blocks, after the ship has been aligned to the world axis. Now you can edit and mount the ship again.

Make sure you don’t build or unmount the ship too near to your buildings, or (parts of) your buildings may connect to the ship when mounting it.
