Introduction: How to Build a Ship
Here are instructions on how to build a good looking ship in Minecraft. It has two masts, a cabin, a lookout post, and a hull (bottom part of the ship).
Step 1: The Bottom of the Ship
First, make a 15 block long strip, and cover it with a three block wide strip of the same length. Then, make two strips on either side of the bottom of the ship. Then, starting at 6 blocks down from the front (front is the side that the picture is taken from), widen the ship 5 blocks long.
Step 2: The Front of the Ship
Now, you want to build the front «pointy» part of the ship. Build two blocks out on the floor of the ship, then on either side one block up, build two more blocks out. Then, a single block in the front of the of the ship.
Step 3: Building the Ship Up
Now you want to start building the ship to be higher. This will require a bit of work, but it is almost the same thing the whole way, except the front, which is pretty self-explanatory. You will not require any extra instruction here.
Step 4: Building the Deck
Now, you want to build the deck. First, you need to make the floor of the deck. Then, add a railing, and at the part where the ship widens add a gate.
Also, this is optional, but you can create any sort of design you want for the front «point».
Step 5: Cabin and Hull
You will now have to remove all the fence behind the center of the ship (where the ship widens), and build the ship shown above. Then, build up from that two blocks, leaving a place for the door. Make the ceiling out of slabs. You can see the slabs are on the upper part of the block which they are touching. Then add a door. The inside of the cabin is entirely up to you.
On the inside of the cabin, add ladder leading to the roof of the cabin. Put fence all around the top of the cabin. Finally, add some cobblestone wall on either side of the back of the cabin roof as shown above. Also, if you want, you can create a «steering wheel» on the roof of the cabin. It can be a sign with a pattern, if you want. Or it can be an item frame holding a compass.
Step 6: Adding Details to the Back of the Ship
Now let’s spruce up the back of the ship. You can create a nice stair pattern by making upside down stairs pointing away from each other, and a single stair in the center pointing away from the ship. Then, add some blocks on top of the stairs, and top it off with some more stairs.
Step 7: Hull
This is an easy step. Four blocks away from the entrance to the cabin, build a 3×3 fence thingy (what would you call it??). Then, remove one of the blocks and place ladder all the way down to the bottom of the hull.
Step 8: Masts
Now you want to create two masts on the deck. Make one pillar nearest to the cabin 14 blocks high, and a second smaller pillar 6 blocks in front of the first pillar. Make it 10 blocks high. Now, you want to build the sail on the smaller mast. Make it go out three blocks as shown above, and of course one block in the center. Then, for two blocks, make wool go up as shown in the picture. Finally, top it off with a single strip at the top of the mast. The second mast is very similar, so no explanation is needed. When you finish the sail, you should build the mast two blocks higher. Then build blocks surrounding the top of the mast, and put «rails» (fence) on it. In the center, put a trapdoor, and add ladder going all the way down.
Step 9: Details
Now you want to add upside down stairs on the underside of the ship. These are all aesthetics, so you don’t have to add these. I think it makes the ship look a lot better. Most of the pictures only show one side of the ship, but you should built it the same on both sides of the ship.
Step 10: Done!
That’s it, you now have a very nice ship in your Minecraft world. I recommend building a dock, and a dockhouse near it. If you use a mod called «Archimedes’ Ships», you can move the ship too! If you do use this mod, you will have to go into the config of the mod and enable edge touching blocks. If not, a lot of your ship will be left behind.

A cruise ship is a ship that can be built in Minecraft. This page shows a step-to-step guide on how to build one.
Large cruise ships[]
Large cruise ships are usually very large and complex, and therefore may be quite difficult and tedious to build. It is recommended to build these in Creative mode, as a very large number of resources, some of which may be hard to acquire in Survival or Adventure, are usually needed to create a large cruise ship.
Videos[]
Video of the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship built in the game.
See § Tutorial Videos for more videos.
Recommended building blocks[]
- Concrete (good building block, could be used outside the ship)
- Wool (useful inside the ship, but be careful using it near fire or lava, as it is flammable)
- Planks (can be used inside the ship, but it is also flammable, so make sure that fire cannot spread to it)
- Carpets (decoration block, also usable inside the ship, but again, it is flammable)
- Torches or glowstone (useful for lighting)
- Glass pane or glass (can be used as windows)
Medium-large cruise ships[]
Medium-large cruise ships are slightly smaller than cruise ships, making them useful if you want to build a ship that is large but not as tedious and resource-demanding as a large cruise ship.
Videos[]
A video of the construction of the Carnival Breeze, which could be considered a medium-large cruise ship.
Passenger ferries[]
Passenger ferries can be built in water bodies between two land masses, where the distance between the masses is not small but not significantly large either (e.g., a large lake, but not a river or an ocean). The size of a passenger ferry varies, such as a steamboat. The boat advised to create depends upon the number of passengers expected and/or the distance between the two lands.
River cruises[]
If a huge cruise ship is not what you’re looking for, you can build a river cruise boat, which is a smaller ship designed for traveling through rivers. These boats are usually two decks or lower and not very long either. You could build this on top of a naturally generated river, or you could dig your own river and build your boat on that.
Terminals[]
Strongly recommended while building a cruise ship, it can include a check in desk, toilets, playing area, café, walkway to the ship, and optionally staircases and/or lifts with more than two levels.
Recommended building materials[]
- Cobblestone
- Doors (iron doors may give a more modern look, but need power)
- Glass (for windows; glass panes tend to give more depth)
- Fences
- Stairs and/or Slabs.
- Planks (ensure to keep any wood-based blocks away from fire hazards)
- Wool (again, avoid fires)
- Piston (if creating a sliding, raising or extending terminal)
- Slime Block (if creating a sliding, raising or extending terminal)
- Honey Block (if creating a sliding, raising or extending terminal)
- Lever (if creating a sliding, raising or extending terminal)
- Redstone Dust (if using an iron door or creating a sliding / raising / extending terminal)
- Redstone Repeater (for redstone line extension)
Terminal tutorials[]
Dock (for small boats and nether hubs).[]
Create a platform of planks, add fences from floor of water body to platform corners.
Station (for small boats and nether hubs).[]
Create 2 docks separated the exact width of the boat, create a staircase, extending terminal or sliding terminal up to ship entrance. Optional: Create a customer review booth.
Low door and platform.[]
make a door level to a dock or station
Staircase.[]
Make a staircase
Extending terminal.[]
place an double piston extender.
attach a slime block line
place a line of a move-able block on front and top of slime block line.
power using a lever.
extend circuit if needed using Repeater
Sliding terminal.[]
place an double piston extender.
attach a slime block to the available piston.
create a staircase starting on top of the slime block.
place 1 slime block underneath each stair.
power using lever.
extend circuit if needed using Repeater.
Life boats[]
The interior of a player-made lifeboat
All ships have lifeboats. Depending on the size of the vessel, you may have many or only a few lifeboats.
Real-life lifeboats are colored orange, so they could be easily spotted by rescue crews, so you should use orange material to build the lifeboats.
Things to have onboard[]
- Cabins for persons to live on the cruise ship. You may have different classes for cabins — ranging from ones with nothing but a bunk bed to suites with balconies and king-size beds. More expensive cabins tend to be placed on upper decks.
- Ice Hockey on large cruise ships
- Spleef arenas
- Nightclubs
- Casino
- Restaurants
- Shops (taxfree or so): A cruise ship doubles as a mall, as it has so many different shops. Make sure to have many shops for exotic and luxury goods.
- Playrooms
- Smoking rooms
- Soda vending machines
- Jukeboxes to play music (remember to put a music disc inside the jukebox or the jukebox won’t play any music)
- Info desk
- Swimming pools
- Waterslide
- Engine Room: A ship cannot function without an engine. Engine rooms are huge, with tons of complex machinery. Building an engine room may be tricky, as many have never seen one.
- Car Deck
- Bridge: Any ship needs some form of a command. Build a glorious, wide bridge from which the Captain can lead the vessel.

Boats are simple, craftable transportation devices in Minecraft. Instead of swimming, which can take a long time, boats are easier and faster ways to travel in water. They’re great choices for long distance journeys and fishing trips. Here is a guide on how to make one.
Recipe
-
You will need five Wood Planks from any wood type, and they don’t all have to be from the same type of tree. You can get four Wood Planks from one block of Wood. Blocks of Wood can be obtained from chopping down trees, found in some NPC villages, and occasionally found in mineshafts.
-
Arrange the Wood Planks as follows:
- Place three Wood Planks across the bottom three slots of the Crafting grid.
- Place one Wood Plank one slot above the bottom-left Plank.
- Place the last Wood Plank one slot above the bottom-right Plank.
- All other slots should remain empty.

-
You can immediately add the Boat to your inventory by dragging it into one of the lower slots or by holding Shift and clicking on it.

-
Find a calm spot on the water, select your Boat from you inventory, and then right-click on the water. Your boat will be placed. If it is placed on a current, it will start to follow the current.
- A boat can also be placed on land by right clicking. It can be controlled on land but its movement will be extremely slow. They also sink into ground so you may need to get out by destroying a block beside it.
- The boat can be placed on lava, but it will break when you try to enter it.
-
Right-click on the boat to enter it. You can do so from any direction, including beneath it after diving. Press the left Shift key to exit the boat.
-
The boat will go in any direction you are pointing your cursor when you hold the W button. Pressing the Back S key will quickly turn the boat around in the opposite direction.[1]
- Boats are extremely fragile, and can break easily in a crash.To prevent them from crashing, slow down before you get near an island. If a boat does get destroyed in a crash, it will drop three Wood Planks and two Sticks. If the boat is destroyed by an attack, (skeleton shoots it) it will drop a Boat.
- You can Sprint while using the boat to move slightly faster.

Question
Can the boat sink?
You can’t push them underwater, even if multiple mobs are standing on it or if the boat is damaged. However, boats will sink if water pours over them (such as a waterfall or downward current).
-
Question
Will the boat really go sailing?
Place it like you would place a block, but on water. Put your crosshair on the boat, press the button that makes you place blocks, then sail by using the walking controls.
-
Question
How do I make a ship?
You can just build one with blocks, but it wouldn’t move. To make it move, you have to download a mod.

As entities, boats behave like off-track minecarts. However, boats act like solid blocks, which means they can be placed on top of other players, mobs and other boats. Players, mobs, and other entities can stand on top of boats as well.
-
Speed effects can make a boat move faster.
-
Boats move with the currents or by the control of the player.

В базовой версии Minecraft можно построить только лодку. Точнее, построить можно что угодно, однако плавать будет лишь она. Чтобы соорудить что-либо покрупнее, потребуется установить фанатский мод на корабли. Найти их можно на отдельном сайте, посвященном модам для Майнкрафта.
Одним из наиболее популярных модов считается Archimedes Ships — он позволяет сделать практически любую поверхность водоплавающей. Есть даже моды на корабли из популярных фильмов, вроде Черной жемчужины из «Пиратов Карибского моря».
- Скачать модификацию
Как установить моды на корабли
Для установки любых модификаций нужна программа Forge. Важно, чтобы ее версия совпадала с вашей версией Майнкрафта.
- Установите Forge в ту же папку, что и Minecraft;
- Запустите Minecraft, выберите Java Edition и нажмите на «Установки»;
- Наведите курсор на Forge и нажмите «Играть».
Теперь, когда у вас все готово, можете перейти на тематический сайт и загружать моды. Устанавливать их нужно в папку mods в директории игры.
Постройка корабля
Корпус
Корпус — фундамент корабля. Начинайте строить судно именно с него. Очень важно, чтобы у посудины не было острых углов, однако основание корпуса не должно быть плоским.
- Сначала создайте двухмерный контур его формы. Затем сделайте каркас;
- Старайтесь сгладить прямые линии. Для этого поработайте с центром корпуса и постройте дуги для создания округлости;
- Используйте различные виды материалов. Доски и краски разного цвета придадут вашему кораблю индивидуальности.
Мачта
Мачта и паруса — то, что даст вашему кораблю возможность плыть по волнам.
- Настоящему большому кораблю, вроде фрегата, галеона или линейного, нужно три мачты;
- Самой высокой должна быть грот-мачта — та, что посередине корабля. Ее длина приблизительно совпадает с длиной корпуса корабля. Остальные две мачты должны быть ниже;
- На мачтах должно быть по две перекладины, за которые будут цепляться паруса. Установите их пропорционально, чтобы можно было прикрепить большие паруса;
- Не забудьте добавить «воронье гнездо» — смотровую площадку для матроса. Такие штуки всегда есть на кораблях, и вашему это придаст реализма. Обычно ее устанавливают на грот-мачту;
- Также стоит сделать такелаж. Это набор веревок и узлов, которые можно увидеть на любом парусном корабле. Они позволяют управлять парусами. Для их создания лучше использовать блоки вроде заборов, стеклянных панелей и решеток.
Паруса
То, что будет нести ваш корабль по морям. Постройка парусов, пожалуй, самое сложное во всем процессе, если вы хотите сделать их реалистичными.
- Старайтесь сделать паруса объемными. В море они почти всегда наполнены ветром, так что плоские паруса будут выглядеть нереалистично. Из-за инструментария Майнкарфта это самая сложная часть работы, но оно того стоит;
- В то же время паруса не должны быть чересчур заостренными. Важно найти баланс между объемностью и гладкостью поверхности парусов.

Благодаря данному гайду любой игрок сможет сделать в Майнкрафте корабль, способный поражать и очаровывать сердца. Не так просто воссоздать детализированное морское судно. Игроки способны использовать массу доступных деревянных блоков для украшения и преобразования плавучей коробки в настоящий фрегат. Единственная беда — корабль не способен плавать. В мире Майнкрафта используются только лодки, а качественных модификаций на корабли, умы игроков ещё не придумали.
В первую очередь, судно послужит неплохим украшением водоёмов. К тому же, это необычная идея для дома. В воде корабль — дом будет защищён от лавы и нападения мобов. Как сделать красивый корабль в Майнкрафте без модов, неотличимый от настоящих? Достаточно изучить данный видео гайд. Уже воссозданные корабли можно поискать в разделе карт на сайте.
