This idea is awesome! Minecraft really needs more features for the oceans and this also makes navigating oceans much more plausible. HoweverI don't think it's unrealistic for a boat made of wooden planks to sink after being hit by a really fast arrow, but otherwise I fully support this idea.
This is a fantastic idea! I always hated the one man boat in minecraft. Really hope this gets added to the game. Jeb MUST see this.
He has seen it, no word on any plans for even improving boats much less making them this cool. You should bother him on twitter or something every now and again about it. Poke that badger!
Hmm. I don't think it should necessarily be added to the game(I think its more of mod material, but then again, ender chests were added in far after chickenbones and uh...the other authors made their ender chest idea), but it is a REALLY cool suggestion! Also, did you make all of the GUIs and models yourself? If so, BRAVO!
Yes, yes he did.
Agreed it is a large concept but the core concept being added would be nice and as you stated they have been adding some pretty weird crap into Minecraft as of late, and things that were mods before. So who knows what the future may hold. The only issue I have is no one can be certain just how long they are going to keep adding stuff. Minecraft might be close to running its course. =/
This would be awsome!!! I am a big pirate fan (Zoro says it all). This idea would take alot of programming though. It would probably take several updates to get all of it into the game. I also think add airships would be cool too.
someone should do a folow up post for this that will tell about new mobs like pirates in there own boats sailing the hie seas and giant see monster to batle in the sease.
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.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
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.

i bet after this gets aded people will be saing arr maite for a wile
someone just did
cant wait till your done with it!
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?
