So in the latest snapshot Mojang has made alterations to boats by making them faster and more maneuverable. If only they would be able to see this thread!
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Check out Boats Evolved; the fancy huge customizable boats Notch tweeted about brought to life!
I also support this! I think galleons might be going overboard, but going up to a carrack isn't such a bad idea. This also means that you could essentially be a sea traveler if you so wish! It could essentially be your "house" if you choose to explore the world in such a vessel! You wouldn't have to necessarily worry about dying and respawning way back at your house/outpost with no way to get back to your stuff in time if you do die on an adventure.
I don't think cannons are necessary but, then again, I know a lot of people would like it. PvP isn't really my thing though, personally.
Brilliant idea! This could also influence Survival Islands, like if you get a full stack of diamond or something you can build a boat and leave the island!
This is an awesome idea. I could see there being a few different ship types though, so for instance, you might build first a hull that is a certain size, then pick if you want a warship, cargo ship, or transport ship, then, the corresponding ship of that size is created. For example, you craft a large hull, select warship, and you get a ship of the line. Or you craft a large hull and select cargo ship, you get a merchantman. Might be a bit complicated, but I think it is a pretty good idea. You get a diamond sword for your idea!!:DSWORD:
This is one of the best ideas I have ever seen. I know that I would (in creative mode) spawn in/craft a Galleon and sail the blocky seas.
Suggestion: Put them in the creative inventory.

Another idea-crew golems. You can assign each one a task, for example, cannons, rigging, or engine rooms. Made like a snow golem, but with wood planks instead of snow.

I do like the idea of these golems for working on ships, but I think that, depending on the task that it's given, should be made with different materials. Maybe you could craft a general golem item and, say, to get a cleaning golem, you'd craft a bucket into it, or something along those lines.

Why don't you put a poll on this and just ask:
Do you want bigger boats in vanilla MineCraft? Y/N.
I've seen this thread forever and honestly I don't care. I'd love to be about to vote "No" and be done with it. Look, no offense to the idea, somewhat bigger boats would be fine. But this is waaaay too complicated for vanilla. It would be the single most complicated addition to the game so far and most people don't even touch the ocean. Now you might say, "Well, bigger boats would give people a reason to use the ocean!" No, it wouldn't because oceans are still big, boring and only inhabiting by squid. Unless all kinds of more important things get added to the game first to make the ocean interesting, boats will always be rarely used option.
I know you hate it, but this idea screams Mod to me. Like trains or planes - it's only a small group of people that really want it.
I've wanted larger, more custom boats for a long time. Its nice to see someone has put more time into the idea. This looks epic. Though its so complicated I doubt Mojang would add it into the game as it is, but I realy hope they still add part of it at least.

Well, if there was an ocean update perhaps, and they made the ocean as important as land, this idea would be better. But it is still a good idea.
No Bond Idiot will find me when i'm movin'!!!
TT2000, you are genius.

A tweet would work better, and in order for it to work efficiently we'd all have to do it at the same date & time.
Does anyone want to do that? Post your advocacy and discuss a date!
Suggestion: Put them in the creative inventory.

That's be super cool.
WELL, ACTUALLY, NOT REALLY A WARDEN.
I'M DISAPPOINTING.

Yeah. I do like that. Good idea mate.
