You could build a boat block by block and sail it like a Pirate Ship

    Isn’t it a bit hard to create ? What would be the limit between Ship and NOT Ship ?

    It’s obvious for us humans but for MINECRAFT it’s a real exercise.

    When you complete this first challenge, you now need to consider the moving of the ship...

    Let’s take an exemple: the Archimedes’ Ships Addon by BalkondeurAlpha which actually works the same way.

    With more than 1 thousand blocks, your game start lagging and textures are constantly popping...

    Now with a vanilla style game, establishing a block number limit is pretty impossible so you’ve just got a terribly lagging game. 

    Next point. If you’ve been playing MC for a bit, you might know that oceans are just like BIG puddles. Starting from this idea, we can easily deduce that most player won’t use that functionality considering it a waste...

    So is it worth it to create a very complex system for absolutely NOTHING ?

    (Id love to have your project in the game but I prefer to explain you why it wont be retained...see ya’ ! )

    It would be easy enough I think to Craft a steering wheel and place it on a wooden hull. This steering wheel could be able to move all wood planks and anything on top of them within 20 blocks. this would fix algorithm confusion and lag. I would also like to see the ability to put a sail on it to make it move faster. that may be a problem for lag depending on your device though. I personally lag just from moving inventory sometimes.
