So, this is a completely survival on hard made build from a server I run with some friends, "The ender stalker" as I named it is a pretty random name but it is mainly because of the dark wood theme and I figured it is mostly a exploration vessel that journeys from the end and back. Keep in mind this is directly imported from the survival world and it is not completely done on the inside. If you wish you may use it as you please but in that case I would ask you to not pretend it's yours.

Some thought behind the build?
The main baloon/propeler is powered by the large oven I so imaginatively named "smokey", which is conveniently also used for cooking :) The hot air from the chimney is used to fill the baloon and to force air to the turbine powering the prop. If you're wondering about the chimneys not being directly below the baloon intake, that's because while flying, the baloon is actually pulling the ship and is hence in a more forward position, also, the speed would cause the hot air to be pushed back. Also, if this was done in creative I probably would have colored the baloon and the rest of the woolwork in a more grey scale, but since survival, the white would do.
Why 95% ? Because the interior is not fully finished and I will probably add bits and pieces here and there while playing.

The pictures are from the actual survival world but the world provided is a flatworld with the ship imported.

Criticism is greatly appreciated especially if it concerns the hull, shaping stuff in general is what I have most trouble with.

Viewed best in conquest resourcepack with connected textures on.

While I love the idea and the overall look, I feel that the balloon is far too small to support the ship as anything more than a fancy propulsion method on the water. As a rule of thumb when it comes to making the balloon for an airship the larger the balloon is the more realistic it looks... or at least less "odd". Normally I make the balloon at the very least close to twice the size of the ship it is trying to lift. I should post my Templar Skyship at some point.

It's not too hard... well designing it in survival might be hard. But I recently successfully rebuilt my Skyship in survival on a server called Faceland. Massive project took me around 70+ hours of total time on the server to rebuild, over water no less.
