# Movecraft Guide

Movecraft, while incredibly fun once learned, is complicated. The hardest part is figuring out how to build a ship - so, we've laid out the instructions here.

There are five kinds of ships you can build (can be found \[here]) but they can all be built in a similar way, just with different sizes and purposes.

The first thing to do is pick out a kind of ship you'd like to build. Each class of ship has different requirements to be piloted - so make sure you pick out the right size and speed for what you want to do before you start.

### Starting out

Once you log in, make sure to do /kit movecraft. This will give you a stick and a clock. The clock can be used to fire cannons - more on that \[here] - and the stick will be used to move your ship forward. Set out an area in the water to build up a ship, and then get your blocks - the list of allowed ones can be found at the bottom of this page.

### Building your Ship

Although it's best to use your own design, schematics are okay too. We advise building primarily ships in the style of the 1400s and 1500s to stay true to the time period. Make sure when building that you only use allowed blocks - found below - and have at least 45% of your ship made out of wood blocks and 12% of it out of wool (for sails.)

Movecraft vehicles must also be powered using coal! Place a furnace on your ship and fill it with coal - if you don't, it won't go.

### Piloting your Ship

Piloting is simple. Simply type /pilot \[craft type] in the chat while standing on your ship and you'll be commandeering it. Right click with your stick and it'll move forward a few blocks. Type /cruise \[north, east, south, west] and it'll cruise at its max speed in that direction. Place down a sign that says "\[helm]" (exactly that) in the area you'll be standing. Left clicking on it will turn your ship left 90º and right clicking will turn it right 90º. Have fun!

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vincere.gitbook.io/vincere-docs/movecraft/movecraft-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
