Airships are the fastest mode of transportation on the server. Airships can move in all directions, even in diagonals. Airships differ from watercraft in that they need coal to fly, and upon crashing into something they will take massive damage.
Flying an Airship[]
- Have the ship meet the size and block ratio requirements for its class.
- Fill the furnaces on the airship with coal.
- Activate it by writing the name of the airship’s class on the top line of a sign then right clicking on the sign with an empty hand.
- Move it by holding a wooden stick in your hand and right clicking while facing the direction you want to move. Diagonals are allowed.
- If you wish to rotate your ship write “[helm]” on the top line of a sign then right click once to activate it. Further right clicks will make your ship turn right, left clicks will turn left.
- If you want to move quickly and fuel efficiently then you’ll need a cruise sign. Cruise signs only work on the SIDE of a block, NOT the TOP. The direction they face determines the direction they will make the ship move. Make one by writing “Cruise: OFF” on the top line. caps and spaces count.
- Left clicking while holding a switch toggles direct control mode, activating direct control mode allows you to move diagonally while cruising. This is done by having your 4 hot-bar slot selected to move diagonally left or your 6th slot to move diagonally right
- To stop piloting a ship, walk off of it or write “/release” in the chat window. releasing a ship will shut off cruise signs automatically.
- If you fall off by accident, you can type “/manoverboard” to get teleported back, but this only works for 30 seconds after you’ve left.

VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER[]
- Do NOT use double chests under any circumstance, they will crash your game. Use single chests only, trapped chests are fine as well, so long as they’re single and not double.
- Don’t make changes to a ship while it’s being piloted.
- Have nothing in your hand when you’re clicking the signs, whether left or right.
- Wooden stick! You need a wooden stick or you can’t use your ship.
