I've seen some suggestions similar to the tortoise and whale suggestion of being able to build on something like a vehichle, but have a limit. Although I think that is a great idea, that is not the point of this suggestion.
A lot of people make replicas of boats, ships, rockets, ect in minecraft creative servers, but they're just replicas. I have a simple idea- a very simple ordinary WASD vehicle that can be built on (similar to other suggestions) and has no limit.
This item, of course, would not be able to made or aquired without cheats, and exactly for the reason of build servers or build maps, or whatever the person desires. I would never want something like this in regular survival mode, but that's it; It's not for regular survival mode. It's only accesible through cheating/ moderator of a server/ect, so it wouldn't run through any balance issues in legit survival mode
Now of course, this might run into some common errors, I.E. what if two vehicles collide, the blocks would mess up or what? How would it be ridden? ect.
Now to solve common errors like this, it would be simple. Blocks can be placed on this when the vehicle is not moving and is perfectly still and without a driver. And it is ridden like something of a boat, with WASD, but wouldn't break and could be built on. It doesn't need a complex system like something similar in a legit survival mode would need.
Now, before you post realize that I have less than the most basic understanding of programming and so this may completely have no chance of working, please inform me.
its a good idea,but it would be a major PAIN to get working in the game.and what about mutiplayer? think about it, think about the LAG! giant land-battleships are cool and all but like the first person said, lots of codeing,lots.......
if it had limits like 5X5X5 build space than thats not bad. still lagy and lots of codeing, but no crashes of chunk-sizes aparments going mobile.
needs to be ironed out.
(yuk,yuk, get it? ironed !)
it would be unobtainable in a legit survival game because it would be absolutely overpowered in it, but in a build server or whatever there are no balance issues, and this would be a blast.

Not neccessarily. You'd have to build it first, and it could probably be destroyed. It's just a matter of balancing it to make it fit with different styles of play.

well the basic idea of building on a vehicle isn't unbalanced, but this idea is just for creative purposes with very limited limits.
By putting limits on it you are reducing the idea's effectiveness to all kinds of players. It is important for a feature to be useable by a majority of players, or else Notch and Jeb won't bother to implement it.

Vehicles cause horrible messy code demons to appear
Survival mode is essentially an updated Creative if you set the difficulty to peaceful and use the /give command.
There is a suggestion like this for Survival called "Block-grid Entities".

What's the point of adding something that is unobtainable in the original game?
You might want to check out Block-grid Entities, because the "vehicle made from blocks" concept is essentially the same.
