Talk:Tutorials/Flying machines

Major Revamp
I am working on the revamp of this page. I shall extend it to cover all types of flying. --Naista2002 (talk) 07:29, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it is time to add some videos and/or more images. But I don't have Minecraft yet :) – Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  14:01, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * We need multidirectional flying engines. 108.216.30.59 15:13, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Why you would not add info about them yourself? It’s a wiki. Be bold. Create an account, upload a few images, add the missing infos about multi-directionsls — that’s it! — Yours, Agent Nick the Red37 (t &middot; c) f.k.a. Naista2002 16:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think his problem is that he doesn't know any multidirectional engines... although if you attach one direction engine to the other direction engine, and only activate one at a time...would that work? AwesomeMan31415926 (profile|contribs) 05:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I tried to post an image of a common flying machine but I can't find out how to insert the image. If someone could do it, thanks. It's the one with the 2 sticky pistons on the back and one on the front. There are 3 redstone blocks on top and 3 slime blocks underneath the redstone blocks. It's a pretty simple and easy to build flying machine. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by A248 (talk • contribs) at 21:08, 06 October 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * First you need to upload it, then just using the same format as the other images in the gallery. – KnightMiner  t/c 23:39, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Is there any interest in specific designs and/or pictures for command block based flying technologies?
For pictures there's a few things I could get ahold of. For designs I just know my own "telekinetic flying machines" (defines the ship as "any block within a 5x6x5 area around the player", allowing you to build small ships or just use a treetop as a flying carpet...or ruin an enemy's building by flicking the effect off and on while running down the hallways).

Engine fail?
#Engines's first image depicts an engine that I tried to build quite a few times, both in plots on MC server mc-cb.net and in a vanilla 1.8 singleplayer world, and neither time did it do what it was supposed to...If nobody else has had success constructing this thing, I would advise its removal.

 * Apologies, I was working without Minecraft and could not test that then (I was then known as Naista2002, by the way). You can actually look up a working engine of that sort on other sites, and fix the machines. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:33, 16 July 2015 (UTC)


 * First, did you make sure the middle piston was sticky? Second, did you give the middle piston a block update or two after building? This type of machine runs on bud updates, so it needs one to get it started. – KnightMiner  t/c 23:09, 16 July 2015 (UTC)


 * That design just needs to be vertical with the Redstone Blocks on top and the Pistons, Sticky Pistons, and Slime Blocks on the bottom. --SuperDyl19 (talk) 01:22, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Is this page off-topic now?
This page was about slimeblock contraptions. But now also contains other ways to fly, but not actually "flying technologies" by themselves. I think this is misleading and those things should be moved elsewhere if not deleted. Before actually doing this, I am waiting for others to tell their opinions. By the way why there is a feather? A slimeblock could be more relevant.--LightningSh0ck (talk) 21:20, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Commands and the special cape are not technologies, they are just flying methods. Also, please use "", so the presence of a new section can easily be seen in the recent changes list. The BlobsPaper.png 01:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Shall we do a separate tutorial section for command blocks?--LightningSh0ck (talk) 19:57, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

4 way flying machine with no other buildings
So I have successfully made a 4 way flying machine on MCPE but can be made on all platforms. The only problem I am having right now is it would be hard to use on survival. Also I have a really small flying machine that is 3 blocks long and 2 blocks high for a total of 6 blocks.i am on my phone right now so I will add the pics on a computer later Spartan432 (talk) 20:07, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * That would certainly help to the article, since there are no four-directional craft ever mentioned here. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 08:54, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Diagonal movement?
How do you make a diagonally moving engine in MPCE? I would really appreciate help. Wwei23 (talk) 21:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
