What to do if you managed to visit Minecraft everywhere. They saw everything possible, crafted the best armor and weapons, killed the Edge dragon, and now you don’t know what to do with yourself? It's time to start building not an ordinary shelter, but a beautiful castle or villa. Let's say you can build your own Minecraft ship - manovar. Today we will look at how this can be done.
Demonstrate the skills of a real shipbuilder and make an invincible manovar (ship). Corsairs or pirates were unlikely to be able to capture such a magnificent building, even if they existed in the game. But it’s best not to trifle and build everything at once, turning the wild world of the game, full of dangers and difficulties, into your own controlled territory.
Why is this even necessary?
First of all, manovar is a showcase built by your own hands in your own game world, giving it vibrantness and color. You can wander around the deck of a ship completely ready, both outside and inside, admiringly look at it from afar or explode in extreme cases, if you are not sorry for the effort. In the end, why else build at Minecraft?
But you can go further and erect a magnificent castle on the earth, and around - the territory with residential furnished houses. You can populate them with ordinary residents, recreate an analogue of some really existing port near the water, and on the water itself begin to build magnificent ships. As a result, you will get a real lively city, playing in which will not be so boring, and you can feel like a king. But what are ships for? Manovar will be a spectacular touch of the combat fleet of the created state. In addition, he will emphasize your status and capabilities.
What is manovar?
Let's look at what a ship is. Manowar is a war ship armed with cannons and propelled by sails. For the first time, such ships began to be used in the Atlantic in the 16th century. They were very popular in the British Navy. The most interesting thing is that manovar is not a specific class, it is only the colloquial name of the largest warships that have armor.
The guns, of which there were up to 120, were located along the sides in 3 rows on decks specially designated for them. Such ships were built in the likeness of galens with a displacement of up to 5000 tons.
Victims and Costs
To recreate such a ship will require not only a huge amount of resources, which, for the most part timber, will have to be constantly collected, and time, wasting it on building, checking, rebuilding and, if necessary, crafting, but also nerves. After all, giving a ship a visually more or less rounded shape in a square game is not so simple.
If you nevertheless made up your mind, the main thing is not to abandon this activity. Over time, everything will work out, and then it remains only to praise your own skill and perseverance.
Photorealistic ship
It is almost impossible to achieve realism - the main problems will be the blocks and the pixelity of the game. But in any case, studying photographs and drawings, you can build a manovar in a ratio of about 1: 1 and be proud of the work done, show it to friends and acquaintances. Some elements, of course, will be absent or, for technical reasons, have a radically different look and shape, but these are trifles.
The majestic look of the finished ship compensates for all the small unsightly moments and details. But get ready for the fact that the manovar is not a small ship, and you will have to determine its dimensions in the game yourself from the very beginning.
Weapons on board
Since manovar is a ship intended for military purposes, the reconstruction of ship’s guns is an obligatory attribute. It will not work with wood, they need a large number of metal blocks. And even if they will be just decorations, since there is no way to teach them how to shoot them in Minecraft, they may not be completely round in shape, but they will give the vessel impressiveness and recognition. Looking at it, it would be impossible to think that the author, wanting to make a pleasure yacht, got carried away and went too far with the sizes.
Sail as the hardest element
Shaping the sail is perhaps the hardest part of shipbuilding. It is made from ordinary wool, which can easily be borrowed from harmless sheep. But you will have to tinker with the shape of the sail for a long time, constantly observing its appearance from afar. One extra block will negatively affect the appearance of the ship and symmetry.
It is impossible to do without such a complex element, because manovar is a sailing ship. But do not despair, because there is always a way out. The best option is to find a guide on the Internet and, after reading information from other players and listening to advice, proceed to create a sail with basic knowledge, building both your own and using a ready-made version demonstrated by other people. The main thing is not to forget about the presence of wind that blows in the sail. With the help of a bit of creativity and black wool, the sail of the future ship can be decorated with an image of a skull, introducing pirate symbols.
Monsters and the way to fight them
At night, a large number of mobs will always spawn - on the map itself and in any rooms that will try to kill you or smash your manar into chips. The ship will have to be protected carefully and by all means, starting from the moment of its creation. The easiest option is lighting. And it will be torches or lamps - it does not matter. The main thing is to provide the vessel with a complete absence of dark places, because it is there that mobs appear. And if you put Jack's lamp instead of torches, you can assume that they are afraid not of light at all, but of pumpkins.
This is where the difficulties end. From outside the mobs will not get, the ship is being built on the water, and these adversaries are not able to swim. In any case, until they know how. The fence in the water around the ship and the lighting nearby will not be superfluous, however.
disadvantages
Manovar will be completely and completely decorative, so it will not work to plow open spaces of the seas and oceans. Yes, and why? In the game world there will be too little room for such a hefty colossus. But if you really can’t wait to feel like a real captain, you can search for the appropriate mod, and then your ship will go.
But the quality of such mods leaves much to be desired: the control of the ship’s progress is inconvenient, and the ship itself, rather, glides through the air than floats. In short, the complete absence of realism or hints is not him. Enjoying swimming in full will not work, there will only be a smack of slight disappointment, since it will not work to piracy. Or, as an option, we can expect that the author of Minecraft will sooner or later introduce the ability to sail on huge ships.
But still...
Is it worth the effort? Definitely yes. After all, Minecraft is a game, the essence of which is not so much in exploring the mesmerizing game world as in erecting complex structures with the manifestation of the skills of an architect and designer. And it’s better to make a magnificent empire with your own inhabitants and navy, and then live in this city, than to aimlessly create small empty shelters in different places on the map, periodically visiting them.
And in the case of outings outside the city, it will become much easier to navigate thanks to the erection of a lighthouse - an ultra-tall building that abuts against the sky. And the sensation that appears when you return back when you see your city and ship from afar is priceless. Minecraft is a game for people with good imagination and a desire to build something, not limited to the established framework.
