Yeah I know it's possible, it has been made with multiple mods in other games, I'm not a dev so I wait, perhaps someday someone will do it :)

Bali hello and thank you!

This airship mod will only have entity ships like the elk and boat, no block based ships. sorry!
the walking on top of the entity is not planned right now. but i'm sure it's possible!

Hello,

I was looking for something like archimed's ship from minecraft.

Your mod looks nice.

Do you intend to make it possible to stand on the ship when not at the command ?

I come back here every notification both to check desperately if it's ready for my survival world and to bust a lung at the patch notes. "God help you if you hit shift" is my new fav.

This looks super promising! I've really wanted to see more mods like this, less-simple machinery.

Seconding the prior comment. Would love to see an airship with a cockpit or cabin. Not sure if it's possible to anchor non-seated players to vehicles in this game but would be cool if others worked on that.

Flying off a vehicle because you stood up or jumped is a little silly lol.

Looks really promising so far!

I like the reuse of the normal boat. It gives the entire airship the sense of a flying boat.

In case you are looking for more ideas further down the road, maybe an even larger (and or faster) and more expensive version, which could be inspired of the Grandcypher of Granblue Fantasy.

Endurance
I intend to make a seperate mod that adds three devices, a spinning wheel, a loom, and a vintage treddle sewing machine.
the spinning wheel would allow players to turn turn flax fibres or wool into slightly or abundantly more output in the form of threaded Twine
the loom would take that amount of twine and turn it into (more output) linen patches
and the sewing machine would turn that same linen into into maybe extra cloth! 

at which point the cloth would be used for making the envelope. the fabric would still need to be coated with barrels,
However, the FARMING part of the Airship's construction process will be signifficantly lessened.

the spinning wheel, loom and treddle sewing machine would all be allowed to hook up to an axle for clockwork automation.
but for the reason of avoiding a problem that these machines would trivialize the rest of the gameplay, i want to make them Very VERY expensive to create.
not too expensive to not be worth it, but also expensive enough to make someone weigh their future path to either extra farming, or extra building!

I hope you enjoy my thoughts!

Cant't wait to spend like 250 linen on this haha

This looks really interesting and i look forward to a full, buildable version for survival.

yes Equalsun

The millisecond this mod is out it's going on my server. Will the airships be able to carry chests and such?

Forgive me, but I cannot but say this phrase.

- "Kirov reporting!"

This is super freaking awsome dude. Keep up the good work.

that video remembers me on good old DayZ days when they first released Cars xD

nice work btw ;)

Literally same lol So good.

Can't wait for what you guys do! This is such an awesome idea! 

Do you guys think you might maybe do compatibility with Lavoisier with making things like helium gases to help keep them afloat? Or like an anchor with a rope attachment? 

that video lol

If you can get anything from the creator of ViesCraft they could probably help out. But I dont know if they will or not but you know. Worth a shot
