How to Build a Simple Small Boat | Minecraft Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome to another building tutorial today i’m going to walk you through how to create this very simple little boat that is perfect for any minecraft world it fits amazingly in rivers ponds out in the ocean literally wherever you want it and it’s super

Quick to build so let’s get to it all right here are the blocks that we are going to need it’s time to get to work on this little boat the first thing i want to note is your water level your boat is going to be about four blocks

High in some areas but the water level is going to be right on this level so i want you to imagine as i’m building that that this is your water level so we’re going to be starting off by going below the water level and placing seven blocks

Across this will be the very bottom of your boat and as you can see it’s nice and underwater i will leave a few pictures on screen to kind of demonstrate where you’re gonna want this water line so in case you’re building along with me in the actual water you’ll

Hopefully be able to follow it next up we’re going to come up on each side in the back of our ship we’re going to go up by two and in the front we’re gonna go up by one and then over and out by two then we’re going to continue to

Staircase this up just like so in the back we’re gonna come out one and go up by two again these points will end up being the highest point of our little boat here now we can start flushing it out starting with this area here we’re actually going to just build right off

Of that and come all the way to the back on both sides i’m gonna do that again creating a double layer here this will just make it a little bit easier for when we’re smoothing things out with slabs and stairs this layer is going to

Pop out to fill in that little gap by one block there we go and then we’re gonna come out again this time not going all the way backwards just by five blocks right in the center so we have two blocks two blocks five blocks and

Then one and one i’m gonna do that on both sides and here is our top down view at the moment in the back here we’re going to want to build this out more i’m going to place a block on either side just like so and then one in from that creating a higher

Back area than a front area i’m also going to use stairs to put along each side of this very back wall going to continue these blocks forward by two just like so in the front here we’re going to put two slabs right on the tip of the ship’s

Nose like so then on each end once again two slabs on the back here we’re going to continue the slabs along going all the way along this entire edge and then up in the front we’re going to again do two slaps underneath where we just put

These two slabs or this could also just be a plank we are going to put a stair we’re also going to delete this full block right here and replace that with a stair then you can notice we have this little gap here we’re going to fill that

In with a simple slab then to connect the entire thing together top this off to make it all the same height up in the front out back we’re going to raise it up again by one slab in each of these corners down at the bottom of the hole we can

Also place a rudder down here if we would like one sometimes i like to do this in dark oak if you want and if you’re actually in the water you can place another stair in under that to get more of the effect in order to smooth out the slightly

Clunky back side i’m going to delete this block here right in the corner and replace it with a stair on either side and then this block right here and replace it with a stair because this is such a small size adding in these stairs and slabs really helps to smooth it once

Again to help with that smoothing i’m going to come to the kind of near the center here of these four blocks that i have with stairs on either side and i’m going to place two slabs then right below that i’m going to place three steps i’ll do that on either side and

That is just to give this a little bit better of a curve now that this is done we can fill in the center of our ship just to give us a nice floor to walk around on if you’re curious this is the top down view of the ship now at this point i’m

Going to take my oak log or whatever block you have chosen and go to the back to start creating the first part of my sale two blocks from the back i’m going to build this up i went 10 blocks high for mine and then in the front once again

We’re just going to build this one up by four we’re going to connect these two logs together by staircasing some stairs as sort of makeshift ropes between them on the inside we’re going to bring these fences all the way down now it’s time to begin on the sail don’t worry if your

Blocks aren’t in the exact same place that mine are in this process this is a pretty organic shape and it’s very forgiving it may be hard to follow along block by block for this part because i’m going to be breaking and destroying a lot but i’ll do my best to describe what

I’m doing i’m going to start on this longer pillar here and just sort of build up a general nice shape all the way to the top of that fence then i’m going to kind of create my inner area here by staircasing that down just above that fence pattern that i had

Put before i’m going to bring this all the way down past this first log and i’m going to actually connect it over here to the front of my ship by placing one backwards just like so then i’m going to come out from this original spot and build up three blocks

I’m gonna kind of fill in these gaps that are missing first and then put that one just for good measure then i’m gonna come out again to make it really look like it’s nice and curvy and catching the wind and do another set for this one to make it curve in and

Connect better i’ll do this bottom block in one this connection right here looks a little awkward to me so i’m going to place two more blocks and see how that looks yeah it’s not too bad i do think however it’s not quite tall enough so on top of

These blocks here i’m going to go up just raising up the entire pattern a little bit if you don’t want to waste blocks you can then go ahead on the inside and kind of break all of these extra ones that have been placed make sure they’re not actually needed i

Want this to wrap around to the back side and connect here as well so i’m going to place some stairs on top of this back of the ship and kind of try and curve my sail over this area remember i don’t want to have any big

Flat areas like this so whenever i see one i’m kind of just going to try to curve it in a little bit there we go that’s looking much better now we can shade this you have a couple of choices to do here i’m going to be doing some

Concrete powder on the top edges uh just as sort of a little bit of a highlight it changes up the texturing a little bit but obviously this is concrete powder so i can’t place it everywhere on the underside where i want it to be darker i’m going to use

Concrete for more of that grayish white tone hopefully this will make it look more shadowed and give it the illusion that there’s more shape there than there actually is there you have it up at the top here i’m going to add sort of a little almost

Crow’s nest i’m going to use my spruce trap doors that i have over here didn’t realize i had them in my inventory i’m going to fold them in around this area and then if you wanted you could put a flag on top but for me that makes it a

Little bit on the busy side so i’m going to be leaving mine exactly like that back here is where you’re going to want your steering wheel to be you can do this with armor stands or if you don’t have the any armor stands available a trapdoor also works just fine we are

Also going to want to continue our fencing along here to make it look like it’s generally connected together there we go that’s much better maybe we could also raise some of this up just just to kind of match what’s going on you know now it’s time to decorate

You can have your little boat carrying whatever you please i’m gonna use some barrels and maybe a cartography table and that should probably do it there’s also a little bit of space down below if you wanted to hide something down here maybe do like a secret door with those trapdoors that

Make you crawl that could be really fun yeah look at this oh my gosh and once again let me remind you the water level that i imagine on a ship like this is about right here so if you’ve built this in actual water it’ll look something like this

Anyways guys that is it for me i hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and gotten some use out of it definitely show me your builds when you finish them i cannot wait to see you add this little ship asset to all of your lovely builds thank you so much for watching and

Supporting the channel i hope i’ll see you in the next video goodbye everyone
