Introducing RMS Olympic (1934) in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the White Star Liner RMS Olympic in her 1934 version. This build features her First, Second, Tourist & Third Class interiors.
A few things to Note about this build:
1) I recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for full immersion.
2) I build in 1:1 scale, but building in this scale comes with limitations. Some areas may be distorted or compromised due to scale and sizing when building in 1:1. Compromises have to be made in order to complete the build, so some areas may not actually resemble the actual thing. (This goes for all future builds).
3) This build does not feature cabins, engine rooms, or crew member spaces. There is dead space unfortunately, but I try my best to accurately recreate the popular venues onboard. All builds primarily focuses on class accommodations (Lounges, Dining Rooms, etc).
Short history of the RMS Olympic
RMS Olympic was built in Harland and Wolff in 1908 and completed in 1911. She was the first of three Olympic Class Liners and the sister to infamous Titanic and Britannic. She was notable for being the largest ship in the world when she completed her maiden voyage in 1911. After the events of Titanic, she was withdrawn from service and was refitted and given many safety upgrades including more lifeboats, a double bottom, and extended bulkheads. She was coined the "New Olympic". As WW1 broke out she served in transporting troops and was given a 'dazzle' paint scheme. During the war, the Olympic rammed U-103 causing her to sink. She still holds the unofficial award of being the only passenger liner to ram - and sink - a German U-Boat during the First World War. After the War she returned to civilian service and received a new running mate, the RMS Majestic to replace HMHS Britannic which sank by a mine in 1916. She continued service until the early 30s. In 1934, she collided with the nantucket light ship, causing it to sink which resulted in the loss of life. As the Great Depression was in full bloom and the merger of Cunard and White Star happening, Olympic was withdrawn from service and sold for scrap. Marking the end of the only Olympic Class liner to serve a full career.

I will concede that maybe I should have been more careful when building her funnels and use actual scaling and dimensions that are available for the Olympic Class (since there is an abundance of information out there) but the same cannot be said for other ships. Especially for other ships that have yet to be built on Minecraft or have limited information. At that point its is up to my interpretation of what "looks right" since there is little to no shipbuilding record of said ship. I know its subjective but what can you do.
I will revisit my Olympic build and see what kind of modifications I can do to it.
this is how I scale my builds, and is so far the most accurate method I’ve found.
Shipbucket is a great place to find these plans, and I think
you'll find that most the ships you have built in Minecraft are in their database.
As for your Olympic, apart from fixing its scaling, I’d recommend thinning your masts a bit.
Lastly, for Olympic's mast, that is my own creative liberty for the (me) or player to climb up to the crows nest (Like how it was irl) So I had to build it the way so people can climb up inside. It's a small detail that may impact the build for better or worse but it's there for the player to explore; rather than being just one block thin and not being able to climb inside at all. This is probably one of those design decisions that I may not be budging on.
That’s a cool idea with the masts, and I guess it is up to preference, as personally I don’t like the way it impacts the build.
