Airships

Why sail the seas when you can sail the sky?

What it is

An airship is a ship that traded the ocean for the clouds. Same building freedom, same helm controls — but with altitude. Cruise over mountains, park above your base, descend dramatically into someone's backyard.

How to take off

  1. Craft a regular Ship's Helm first.
  2. Upgrade it: surround the helm with 8 feathers to craft an Airship Helm.
  3. Place it on your build, take the seat, and fly — same W/A/S/D controls, plus climbing and descending.

Good to know

  • Riding a moving airship will never kick you for "flying" — the ship shields everyone aboard from the server's flight detection (fixed in Sailcraft 3.4.1, see the dev log).
  • Gravity still applies to YOU. Falling off an airship at height ends how you'd expect. Build railings.
