Build by the DiamondRocks Shipping Company, the RMS Laurentix is one of the largest early 20th Century style ships built to scale in Minecraft!

Construction started back in late 2016, but was then halted for a while before work restarted at the start of 2018. Another break was then taken until work was started again at the start of 2019.

When released, the current plan is that she will be released in 1.12.2 which is the gamemode she is being built in. However a 1.16.5 or higher version is being planned for when the ship is complete and there's no risk of losing the entire thing when upgrading versions. This will be released about the same time as the 1.12.2 version! Thank you for understanding!

Key Facts
Length - 684 Blocks
Width (Bridge Wings) - 72 Blocks

7 Boiler Rooms
2 Reciprocating Engines
3 Turbine Engines
5 Propellers

5 Funnels - 4 Functional, 1 Dummy
3 Masts - One Crow's Nest
4 Anchors

Update on RMS Laurentix : by DiamondRocks77 04/12/2021 5:16:53 amApr 12th, 2021

Work on RMS Laurentix is well underway again after a break in most of the second half of 2020. Deck's A, B, C and D have been completed. The sections underneath the waterline are the main focus right now to complete before the remaining decks are finished. The ship may finally completed by the end of the year with some luck. I would like to highlight that I am the only one working on her. And always have been. This project is a single person build and I'm looking forward to sharing the final result with you all when she's done.

Great job! You got quite a potential! At first I mistook it for a copy of the Tyrannic-class of Cronos, and reported it. I am very sorry for that, sadly though, I have no idea how to remove a report. Definitely very good work. Here's your diamond, you deserve it. Great job.

This is good, but theres too much Tyrannic-Class from CronosDarth in it. Of course this takes a long time to make. if u are going to make a another one like this, take real Ships like Queen Mary, RMMV Oceanic III or some German ships as role models.
But keep up the good work

I based it on ships of the time of Titanic. The hull of course if pretty much the same, because I can't really do much about that. As for the interior, I used my own creativity. And am still doing that as I work on completing it. But I'm being careful because I don't want it looking too modern. Like I said, trying to keep it early 20th century style.

No. I'm actually from a place that for some reason is not always on the map. New Zealand!
