This would make a fantastic mod the idea is so good. Exploring would become much more exciting and there's something else to put our resources into in minecraft servers.

GENERATION 29: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
Sadly, it's still only updated to 1.2.5 and the lead programmer has very little time to continue to update and maintain it, which sucks because it's a lot of fun and he seemed to have some good ideas for it for the future. Hopefully someone else will pick this mod up and continue development. (he is in fact asking for someone to do that)
But, it is functional and allows you to build a ship arbitrarily out of most blocks. After your ship is built and a control seat block has been placed,, you hurl a bottle of champagne at it which turns the blocks into a boat entity. Once seated in the control seat you can start the engine, go forwards, backwards and turn side to side. If you have an aether pump installed then it can fly. If you have water pumps installed then it can submerge. If it has both installed then it is functionally a triphibious vessel. If you install a windlass, anchor and chain then you can drop anchor, which causes the ship to revert back to blocks until you weigh anchor which transforms it back into a ship. The mod has cannons included which use flint and steel to fire. It is compatible with most mods and I have it installed in my Technic install along with Minecolony and a few other favorites. Some blocks don't work (or don't display properly) while the ship is in ship mode. Beds cannot be slept in but chests and furnaces can be accessed. Buildcraft tanks MOSTLY function but do not display properly when in ship mode. (but their contents are still intact)
Anyway, this and Minecolony are what keep me from upgrading to latest minecraft versions.
I love the idea, the boats looks awsome and i think they would been realy fun, sadly im not a modder and i cant make a mod for this =(
if someone is a pro modder and sees this, make a mod =)
I've been thinking about this lately, it makes sense but it would be not very usefull of course if on a map with very little water. I have mine craft on the xbox. They could increase the size of the maps for bigger oceans or create a ocean styled map altogether and make it more of a sailor type of map, islands spread out.

There are a hell of a lot of large ocean biomes anymore. That and there is no longer a far lands but rather endless oceans which makes those have a use. It would be great for SMP but maybe in SSP it wouldn't provide too much extra. Either way with all the relatively useless stuff they have been adding it would be nice if they add something like this or at least overhaul the current boat model since everyone, and I mean everyone, agrees it sucks.

No, not like that.
While that mod is cool and all, I am NOT asking for a ship-based Zeppelin mod. Please read my whole idea. I am asking for a shipbuilding system with customizable loadouts and different, albeit fixed, hull designs.
surely you would come into problems with the bed seeing as it sets your spawn and the ship moves but other than that i think this is a brilliant concept and at the least chest boats should be added to minecraft
This could possibly be counteracted by either of these two systems:
- Beds on ships cannot be set as a spawn point.
- Beds on ships set the spawn point to the actual boat, and you will respawn to the coordinates of the ship's quarter deck.
Must, reach out, to, modding, community. We know you want it in vanilla and not a mod but they still have the crap boats in vanilla Mc after all the fluff they just added. You may have to approach some modders about this and see who is willing to take on the task of making this in to a mod. After all it's not like it will be done over night, you're looking at months and months of writing code most likely.
I said I'd contact Dinnerbone and I will. It's just that it involves getting up at 6 am my time, bench-pressing a dog and spinning around 3 times saying 'pickled fishlips' over and over. The 6 AM part is true at least.
After that I'll send word out to all the best modding guilds of the realm, keeping my virgin nips intact thankyouverymuch.
I SUPPORT THIS looks amazing would make minecraft very interesting. You can attempt to email jeb he may consider it. diamond pants for you btw everyone spam this link to jeb's twitter! He may consider it! https://getsatisfact..._watch_out_huge
I unofficially endorse this.

Check out Boats Evolved; the fancy huge customizable boats Notch tweeted about brought to life!
BURN!
Anyway would there be any way that you could allow boats to go beneath sea level? Like a primitive submarine.

It's feasible, but not fun SMP-wise (And SSP-wise too, what's to see under the MC seas?). And definitely not adding to the theme.

Elaborate?
1. Read the forum this is posted in.
2. Realise fail.
3. ????
4. Epic Fail.
But I've yet to meet someone who can outlast fire.

Thank you, Broseph. You've made my day a lot easier.
ALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHT.
