Me and a Friend, after months of putting it off, finally managed to get a modded Minecraft server for me and my friends working with a proper domain and everything. I cut Aternos loose because i'm not a fan of the ads and the limited specs. The upside of this is that i now have a server powerful enough to run Eureka, which is like the old Archimedes Ship mod. One of the very first things i did upon spawning in is go and build a ship, which is what you see above.

My hope is too use it as a portable base for the time being until i can get too somewhere i'd like to build a base. We also have Create Cannons and Ice and Fire (at the request of one of my friends), so i want to outfit this thing with cannons to fight ice and fire dragons because those things are annoyingly strong. I have a few mockups for planes too, so hopefully i can get to the point where i can go over the dragons instead.

I ended up with a Leafcutter ant from Alex's mobs on my ship, so i shoved him into a seat to be the first crewmate on the boat. I figured he can be Cook or Quartermaster or something. Either way he gets to stay on the boat.

Me and my friend made quick work of the boat (we made it out of Jungle Logs so it was surprisingly easy). One of the last things i needed was a gold bar for the wheel. I was expecting to have to go underground for it, but i surveyed the area and got really lucky, finding a graveyard from Ice and Fire nearby. These things carry haunted chests which sic a ghost on you if you open it. Open it is the keyword there though, because what you can do is break the chest to avoid having to deal with the ghost. To my luck, there was enough gold nuggets in the chest to make a ingot and my quest was fortunately short lived.

My ship, which i have yet to name, has been finished though. It's a bit slow, but it fulfills it's purpose and can move comfortably around the ocean, which was the primary objective. I do wish i had turned on large biomes so the oceans were larger, but i'm sure i can get this thing out far enough that it wouldn't matter anyways.

One last thing i wanted to share was this.
