This is a tutorial to create my (iClarion's) Minimal Boat Launcher. Unfortunately the audio recording with Screenflow was not working properly, so the tutorial is a silent one. Please pay close attention to the annotations. These 2 demonstration models were created in fffizzz' server MyMinecraft (68.68.201.213). Mods include WorldEdit, SuperPickAxe, and item spawning.

Enjoy!

  • @Thelegodude09
    it still works, this was filmed in minecraft beta 1.7, in 1.2.5 the redstone is still connected, but it dosen't look like it is.
  • @hypertion
    it has a issue this way due to the orientation but the concept is very solid. i also altered the design using this as a base. lessened the width and managed to replace the sticky pistons with nonstick to make the design more accessable in vanilla survival^^ THANKS FOR THIS DESIGN DUDE!
  • @rlalex420
    Very good work. I had the same bug as most here with the middle row not popping up. as another person who commented suggested.. placing 6 repeaters ensured this problem was fixed.. excellent work..

    I use this and have a couple suggestions. One is to increase the size of the receiving pads with a 7th row (for a 7x3 area) and the 'pool' next to it by one more row (for a 2x3 area). This allows for one to come in 'hot' and not break their boat on either end of the receiving pads. You can also drastically reduce the size of the launcher using just a 3 redstone, a redstone torch, 2 dispensers, 2 buckets of water and a button.
