This will require a bit of work, but it is almost the same thing the whole way, except the front, which is pretty self-explanatory. Creating a sail requires some practice and trial and error, it can take a while to make it looks good and you often have to adjust the width and length of the mast and spreaders. However, you generally create circular shapes, which start and end at spreaders, though they could also be attached to ropes on deck, which could be mimicked with fence posts. Once you’ve finished this, the general shape looks decent, but often quite odd. I then begin to trim the overall shape down, by removing and adding blocks to make it look longer and more aqua dynamic.

The second mast is very similar, so no explanation is needed. When you finish the sail, you should build the mast two blocks higher. Then build blocks surrounding the top of the mast, and put "rails" (fence) on it. In the center, put a trapdoor, and add ladder going all the way down. Once you’ve completed the entire body of the ship it’s time to add details. Start out by increasing the width by about a block every 2 blocks you place.

Finish off the gun deck by adding its room… the main deck. Use stairs and slabs to add some decoration to the top part of the cabin – make it unique! There isn’t a ‘correct’ way to design the gallery – real life ships looked very different from one another too. Once you are happy with the shape of your hull, feel free to add some stairs or slabs underwater to make it look smoother. For simplicity, I’ve chosen to stick to solid blocks underwater – I only use stairs above water.

Think of a general shape and size of the ship you want and try to find some reference pictures to work from, whether it’s a minecraft version or a photograph of a real ship. Add the bits that hold the sails (these are called ‘spars’). I like to angle mine a little to make my ship look more fancy. Remember to add a spar at the back of your ship to hold the sort-of-triangular sail at the back.
Step 4: Building the Deck
Add the bowsprit to your ship… it should be a little less than half the length of your hull. For example, my hull is about 35 blocks long, so my bowsprit will be around 15 blocks long. Fill in the deck with slabs and add a rudder at the back of the ship. Even though most people use both terms to refer to the same thing, actually both of them are quite different literally.

Though the difference doesn’t really matter, as most people use both terms for the same thing anyway. For ships like these getting lighting down is important, so using Torches or Lanterns is crucial. If a Mob such as a Creeper spawns somewhere on the ship a single explosion could ruin all of your work and leave you stranded at Sea. Since Banners would be too small for this sail, I use White Wool blocks at the very top to make it seem like a closed sail. If you want an open sail you can do so using the same blocks.
But make sure that the height slowly starts increasing halfway up. The increment should only be about 1 block every 3 or 5 blocks. The hull is fairly easy, especially if you’ve already created either the stern or bow.

Sailing Ships
I usually find a few pictures of real-life examples and try to copy those as close as possible. I then make any needed alterations to make it look better with the overall design of the ship. The top part can also stick out a little on all sides, which will also help to make it look less flat and plain.

If you already finished creating the bow and the stern, now comes the easier part, which is the hull. Well, it’s because now you only need to Stretch the blocks at the ends of the front and the back, depending on the desired length. To begin your sailing journey into the nautical building, a Minecraft pirate ship is one of the most impressive builds a player can create in Minecraft. You will now have to remove all the fence behind the center of the ship (where the ship widens), and build the ship shown above. Then, build up from that two blocks, leaving a place for the door. You can see the slabs are on the upper part of the block which they are touching.
This is something I usually do after I’ve built up the layers, simply by adding another layer against the sides. In the center of the upper deck I use Spruce Logs to build up the large sail of our ship. On the back of the ship I build a small platform where the ship’s steering wheel would be. If you have a bigger ship you can even build a captain’s room here. When I have my length I proceed to make the skeleton on either side, similarly as I did before.
We don’t want the bottom of our ship to reach the bottom of the Water or the shore. Finally, we will once again use Fences and Banners to make our sail. Holding the CTRL button when placing the Fence on the Crafting Table or Barrel will stop you from accessing it as you place it down. You want it to be a smooth curve and not something rough, kind of like you would when building a barn or stable roof.
