My idea is that they should add blimps which have a couple components, first craft the air balloon: Next you have to craft the propeller for the blimp so it has propulsion. Here is the recipe: Next you assemble the Blimp Engine which is crafted like so: Finally you get to the final assembly ( stick= propeller wool= air balloon. furnace= engine) Here is the recipe: That is the single slot balloon and there is also a two slot balloon crafted like so: ( the stick is propeller and wool is balloon furnace is engine) The single slot balloon will make you be able to fly around in minecraft and explore the world easily and see the minecraft world like never before. The speed of the balloons should be 4 blocks per second for the single slot and 3.5 blocks per second for the double slot. The double slot could allow you to share the exploration with a friend or it could have a utility use for moving items a long distance. you can place a chest in the vehicle by shift-clicking the back seat. I feel this is better than planes because planes feel too modern for minecraft and this will fit right into the theme of minecraft. To fuel the planes you will use coal by shift clicking on the regular seat and not the back seat of either one. 1 coal last the 1 slot balloon 2 minutes and last the 2 slot balloon 1 minute and 30 seconds. Well, this is the end of my suggestion so support or constructively criticize away!
Totally agree, I always wanted the blimp mod and if it is in vanilla I won't have to set it up. Not only that but everything you posted seems really great though it does seem a bit too easy to make.
Not that it's too modern, I feel that hot air balloons would be fine. The problem is how cheap it is. Recipe should include a lot of iron, atleast 2 stacks, and atleast one diamond to make it expensive. I personally prefer the Wing Suit suggestion, as that would just be badass.
blocks seems a bit excessive compared to the easy craftability of boats and carts.
Boats and carts cant fly, and a stack of iron isn't really that expensive. With carts you need atleast 64 iron and some gold to go a decent distance, to make all the rails.
Better. Maybe engine could be made out of iron blocks on sides of furnace, with redstone blocks in corners?
EDIT: oh your post just popped up lol
EDIT 2: Is that good?
I meant iron blocks, not bars. 8 iron is incredibly cheap.
