Making Your Ship Move with Create

Understand the Integration

Uncharted Seas blocks are static by themselves. To animate your ship, you need the Create mod (and Create Aeronautic for advanced movement). These mods work together to turn your finished build into a functioning vehicle.

Prepare Your Build

Before adding movement mechanics, complete your ship's structure and interior decoration. Ensure all blocks are placed solidly and your design is final—moving ships are harder to modify. Test that your ship looks good from all angles.

Install Movement Mods

Add Create and Create Aeronautic to your mod folder. These provide the mechanical systems needed to propel and steer your vessel. Consult their documentation for basic contraption building.

Build Your Contraption

Use Create's mechanical blocks (shafts, gears, motors) to create a propulsion system. Attach these to your Uncharted Seas ship structure. The exact setup depends on your design—some builders use paddle wheels, others use propellers.

Test Movement

Activate your contraption and watch your ship move across water. Adjust gear ratios and motor power if movement is too slow or fast. Fine-tune steering mechanisms to ensure responsive control.
