may i just point out that this, being minecraft, doesnt really have any particular 'setting'

it isnt 'Medieval' or anything like that
just because your using swords and bows doesnt mean anything
i mean you can have redstone circuits and things that are more advanced than any medieval technology
as to airships not fitting into the game have a look at 'Divinity 2: Ego Draconis'
there are swords there, bows, portals into a hell like world... sound familiar?
there are also airships. big wooden ships that look great. and they fly.
they dont ruin the game at all.. it doesnt try to be realistic because if it did you wouldnt play it.
this is how minecraft should be: creative, new and Fun!
so before you post something about it not fitting in with the game remember that the only thing that wouldnt fit well with minecraft are people that put limits on it.

and also

Notch confirmed vehicles! =D

EDIT: Not really. Awwww.

As I said before, check more than the first post. That wasn't Notch.

Yeah, I was too ready to believe that.

No, no, it's understandable. I'm just naturally skeptical.

hey everybody.


I made a suggestion about balanced ornithopters. I think it would go well with the airships suggestion as a smaller, faster anti-thesis to airships.

That, and there's the whole carrier airship thing that they could be used for (Large airships, of course).


I'm still thinking of an airborne society of pigmen that live on floating islands and use airships to get everywhere for some reason.

I think that this ornithopter suggestion is the best way to implement flying vehicles in minecraft, you should all check it out and add your opinions.

Lol no need to advertise my thread dude.


I would much prefer both of these to be added.

Sir! our airship fleet is under attack! shall I launch the fighters?

Engage all fighters! We must fight off the attack!

-small fleets of ornithopters come pouring out the sides of the largest airships-


DIE COW DIE!!


...what? it was just a cow?

The only kind of airship I think should exist in Minecraft is an old biplane, like the Wright Brothers made.



I honestly think something like what is seen in the OP is a bit too highly technological for Minecraft.

-facepalm-


The wright brothers didnt build anything like that. It was made from cloths and linens, and wood.


Plus, it isn't an airship. An airship is a blimp, dirigible, or zeppelin. Not an airplane.

Airships have been around longer than airplanes. This is actually lower tech than an airplane, so get your facts straight before saying stuff.

And technology's a moot point, anyway, since we're using crates that shoot arrows when activated by a radioactive red dust, and using that same dust to make 16-bit ALUs.

so notch confirms

for now we could use move craft for our airships. the only problem though is you can only go in a straight line. no turning and such

Don't rip the concept, man.

For that matter, please, punctuate your statement, which I can only assume is derogatory of the concept, so I can understand its full meaning.

If airships come
Im going to name a ship minecraftberg and crash it into a flying creeper statue
full of tnt

But.. but...why the creeper?
Shouldn't you be grateful for the explosive power you STOLE from his kind? You're so rude >:sad.gif:

I think the better question is will it SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS before he hits it?

Good idea. However, this WOULD open up the need for parachutes. Perhaps this:


[] []
[] []

= String
= Any color cloth (Parachute color depends on the color of the cloth, they don't have to be the same color.)

It seems like your idea calls for a lot of new items to be added.


This idea doesn't. It uses existing game mechanics, with a small amount of things added to it.


And Caps is NOT cruise control for Cool. Don't use it.
