So since I've started playing minecraft, Ive undertaken learning many different aspects...Learning how to create monster traps, how to work redwire, minecart roller coasters, exploring, using lava as a giant guide to get back to your house, ect.
This is a great game, even without friday updates :tongue.gif: This name is new, but I've been lurking around the forums for a few months or so.
Needless to say I was in kind of an "eh, what to do" kinda mood, when I got to thinking it would be cool if physics were a bit more real....toss wood in the water and it floats, which would create the chance to build ships instead of just a tiny boat. then I got to thinking. Why not create a ship anyways? Or even better! An LA class Submarine!
Sooo since about 10 PM (eastern time) I've been working on laying the keel, figuring out what blocks will go where and all this other jazz!
I however soon found a small problem, I had not quite dug out my quarry enough for my current project. Sooo I made a few changes which cut down in stone usage. It have half a sub sitting in my bay...it is a grand total 1/3 scale of a real LA class sub, as the cubes are 1 meter (3.2 feet).
My ending measurements are 120 long, 13 wide, and 9 deep. I have not quite finished the project, but I'm finishing it....Need to fill it with dirt so I can remove the water.
Annnd as soon as I can take some video I will, and I'll post it :biggrin.gif:
Anyways, figured I would share my project XD Plus I'm tired, so please forgive me for rambling.
((PS, no hacks, or any programs were used to give me more items....this was all done in SP Survival mode :smile.gif: ))
Honestly? You jumped straight to a Submarine? I would have started with a Carrier, or probably a destroyer.
But I sympathize. I recently got a craving for making a UNSC Frigate in Creative, and maybe someone will try a Covenant Corvette (or if they're ballsy, an Assault Carrier, but that could never be made to scale).

Haha A Carrier would have been insane!! and extremely huge XD sooo I don't know about that....Like I said, I was limited on resources. However, I believe my project after this will be a P-3 Orion in mid air XD
You will have to put up some pictures :biggrin.gif:
Emptying that water took so much longer than I thought it would! I did a combination of the layer of dirt till I was low enough to fill in with gravel all the way down. BUT regardless I've gotten all the water out of it.
Now I'm going to try putting a monster trap inside of it somehow just to give this new place some form of productivity. However, if this doesnt work, I'm going to make an extension to my underwater viewing area to the sub that way when notch puts in the "apocalypse" days I can run down several iron doors to a safe have under-water :biggrin.gif:
Pics will be up shortly of the hollowed out hull :smile.gif:
Took me around 26 hours to complete with breaks, sleep and all that other jazz....So I'd say a grand total of 16 working hours or so :biggrin.gif:
I've got to find a program to take video with, so if anyone has any suggestions, please post them...
And now the moment you may or may not have been waiting for...
(click to see full sized, image shack cut it down a little)
I had to make the sail a bit larger than scale, as a small sail made putting the hull number on very hard!
...Little side note, I have a monster trap built into it...Works pretty well, I wont even lie. Only problem is, I left a point open while trying to bait them to the trap, annnnnd there were a bunch of creepers that came through. No damage to the hull thank god... In any case, drop a line...lemme know whatever :tongue.gif:
You used the wrong stone. Cobble looks.... Ugly.... Oh and the front is just diamond shaped. Not spherical.
But good job! Have a ham!
Granted, cobble does look nasty as all get out, however, the SMP texture pack turns the cobble to a tolerable texture, and is almost like Anechoic tiles soooo yeah, it works...
And as for the nose, true it is more of a diamond shape, however my sub doesnt have a Sonar, so meh Lol :biggrin.gif:...Yeah I got nothin for it :tongue.gif: buuut what can ya do right?

I can destroy a mountain with a feather. What's so wrong about that?

For as long as the grass grows
For as long as the stream flows
And the sun shines down unto us
Only they who walk the clouds know
For how long the winds blow
And the sky is blue above us

Then, I will move onto Columbia.
After that, a steam engine.
After that, fame on the forums.

Caaaause yeah...I would need a massive amount for it.
