Build a Ship Hull That Will Actually Sail

Your ship only comes to life if it is built correctly. The ship wheel joins every valid block it can reach into one vessel and skips everything else.

Pick only valid blocks

Build the hull, deck and frame from blocks on the add-on's valid list:

  • Structure: Planks (any type), Log / Wood (stripped or not), Slabs, Fence, Ladder
  • Soft blocks: Wool (any color), Moss Block, Nether and Warped wart blocks
  • Windows: Glass and Stained glass (any color)

Common building blocks such as stairs, doors, trapdoors and carpets are not on the list. Swap stairs for slabs and use fences for railings.

Keep it connected and within size

1. Build so every block touches the rest of the ship. A block that isn't connected is skipped and left hanging in place when the ship moves.

2. Use more than 5 blocks and no more than 512. A large galleon can hit the limit quickly, so count the blocks on big builds.

3. Build on the water where you want to launch. The hull should be complete before you activate it.

4. Do a final walk-around. Look for floating decorations or railings that only touch the ship diagonally or through a non-valid block. Those parts may be skipped.

When the hull is done, place your Ships Wheel anywhere on the ship to bring it to life.
