Highlights

  • Minecraft players have limited options for flying in the game, but one player has showcased a new way to explore the skies by creating a fully functional airship.
  • The player used mods such as Create: Interactive and Create: Steam 'n' Rails to build the airship and make it run on invisible rails, giving the impression of flight.
  • The airship features functional parts, storage chests, a metal press, and a smelter, and the player finds it user-friendly for Survival mode. They have promised to release schematics of the airship when their video reaches 300 likes.

A Minecraft player has made a fully functional airship and shown players how their creation works. In Minecraft, players travel around the game's biomes in different ways. But when it comes to navigating the air, Minecraft players' movement is restricted to a few options.

When Minecraft players are in Creative or Spectator mode, they can fly freely by simply double-jumping. If they are in Survival mode, one of the ways for Minecraft players to fly is by using the command "mayfly." Another possible way to fly in Survival is to use the Elytra, a pair of special wings that is one of the rarest Minecraft items. Unless players use the double jump, cheat, or get the Elytra, there are no other ways to fly in Minecraft. But in a show of how creative Mojang's sandbox community is, one player has showcased a new way to explore the skies in Minecraft.

YouTuber lumiklaud built a fully functional airship and shared a video showing the vehicle in action. To make their construction possible, they used Create: Interactive, one of the mods that allows the creation of contraptions in addition to the projects already possible in Minecraft. Another tool used by the player is the Create: Steam 'n' Rails mod, which expands Interactive's railroad system. To make the magic of flight happen, the YouTuber revealed that the airship runs on invisible rails created by the Interactive mod, giving the impression that the vehicle is really flying.

Minecraft Player Creates Impressive Functional Airship

The player shows inside the airship and reveals a structure with functional parts, chests for storage, a metal press, and a smelter to make iron bars for use in Minecraft adventures. They say they find the build very user-friendly for Survival, highlighting the windmill that sends energy to the airship and its parts, making everything work.
