This is a very neat mod for turning your ships/boats/yachts/balloons/etc into mobile vehicles. It’s a simple mod but ultimately adds function to that massive cruise ship you built but couldn’t move.
The key component to this mod is the ‘Ship Marker’ block as any blocks attached to it will be considered part of your ship. So bear that in mind when building your ship and try not to attach it to your dock. The neat part of this mod is that the ship can be any size so long as the ship marker block is attached.
You can even turn your structures into balloons so long as 40% of the vehicle contains the added ‘Balloon’ block. With the same ASWD controls as the ship, along with Z and X to ascend or descend, you now have a functional airship any shape and size you desire.

I tried this mod on my server about a year ago and it caused lag every tome a ship was launched. the lag would increase every time a ship was launched. it got so crippling we had to disable the mod. I loved the mod, though. has there been a fix since a year ago or is there a way around it? thanks!
The best transportation mod I tried so far !!!
I’m using ClearLag on my server, anyone have an idea to make it work with this mod ?
the Ship Helm ID is 165 but it keep removing the entity of the ship if it’s in entity state.
Thanks guys.
I was just playing around with these in creative mode and every time I assemble a ship it turns it into one giant block that I can’t edit or even walk inside of when I put structures on it. Though it can still fly. Is there a way to fix that or is that strictly a creative mode thing?
Mount the ship and the hit “\”. This will make the ship return to its individual blocks which you can edit.
And how about if the ship has taken up trees and blocks and is glitching through other trees and tells me i can not disassemble ship? can i just blow it up and start over?
Can’t.Can you give me a video showing how to do it?
@Game Face
I don’t know any ways of fixing it, but it’s definitely not a creative mode thing, since all the ships i built were in Creative. Try checking for any other mods you might have installed.
mine wont fly help idk how to make it fly
The vessel needs to be 40% balloon or higher, dude.
mine is more baloons than ship now and my keybindings don’t show an up key just the down key (which works)
Do you have any other mods that use the keybinds this mod uses? The keybinds of the mod might be used by other mods, effectively disabling them.
This mod is awesome! The only question i have is: is it possible to remove the building limit of 2048 blocks?
Not that my ships are to small, it would be awesome if i could build them even bigger
I agree, but some ships are very detealed and small, but I still agree.
Yeah, or at least tell you how many blocks it is.
I just installed this Mod, but whenever I Mount the ship, it crashes and I can’t even get on the world. Fix plz? THNX
Yeah whenever i mount a ship it crashes i think we are missing something or what how do you fix it.
Weird… I don’t get that problem, howcome when everyone mounts it crashes? It doesn’t happen to me, but I made a mini-plane with this 😀
I want to fly them but I have to press x and I have Zens mini map on so I can’t press x how do u chang the buttions to fly PLZ help me
If you change the zens mini map button to a different letter, then you can use x for flying. to change it, hit esc then options, then controls. scroll down until you see the button you want to change, click on where it says what button that is, and then press the button on your keyboard you want to assign it to, and your done!
Out of curiosity, are there other ways to power the engines? Like, is a solar power ship a viable option or is the one engine provided in the modpack the only thing you can use?
I’m trying to go into the config to change the block limit, but I get a message saying the file doesn’t have a program for it or something. Anybody know what to do?
Every time I try to mount a ship that I have assembled, my game crashes. Does anyone know why this is happening? It doesn’t matter if I’m in creative or survival, or how big the ship is, or whether it’s an airship or a boat. It just crashes. Wooden crates work though.
how do you use the wooden crate within the more recent updates?
you push an animal or a creature on the crate and the animal \ creature will stick to the crate
does any one happen to know if there is a limit to how many blocks you can use because i made a small air ship and i can’t seem to make it any bigger but i have seen many people tern huge yachts in to air ships.
Hy excuse my bad english,
If someone can help me, i have Archimedes’ Ships mod installed, and is awesome, but i have a problem, I can;t craft the engine, In the NEI mod if i shearch “engine”he found the item,but i don’t have recipe for it …. can enione tell me whi ?
Thanx, and excuse my english
Do the airships work with redstone mechanisms? (aka dispensers, iron doors, etc.)
This is the BEST mod ever!! downloaded it a few years ago, then couldn’t find it anymore(Spent about an hour to find it again). LOVE the mod tho <3
