Convert a Block Structure Into a Controllable Ship

Prepare Your Structure

Build your ship design using any blocks you want—wood, stone, concrete, or decorative blocks all work. The structure must be a single connected group of blocks with no gaps. Design the hull to displace water if you want it to float, or make it lighter for airship behavior.

Assemble the Vessel

Once your structure is complete, stand near it and open the Vessel Kinetic Mod interface. Look for the Assemble button or command. Select your entire structure—the mod will highlight connected blocks. Confirm the assembly.

Your structure will transform into a physics-enabled vessel. You'll see it respond to gravity and water immediately.

Control Your Ship

Board the vessel by walking onto it. Use standard movement controls (WASD) to pilot the ship. The direction you face determines steering. Your ship will now move smoothly across water or through the air depending on its design and weight distribution.

Adjust if Needed

If your ship sinks or behaves unexpectedly, disassemble it using the Disassemble button, modify the block composition, and reassemble. Adding more buoyant blocks helps water vessels stay afloat.
