The Aircraft Carrier ("ACC") is a naval ship. Its armament is Dispensers, Cannons, Bombs and Torpedoes.
ACCs are one of the largest ships that players can build. It is also one of the ships able to launch combat aircraft (the other is the Zeppelin); Bombers and Fighters can move within a 2000 block radius of a piloted, friendly Aircraft Carrier, that is located in Wilderness.
- TNT Cannon Director signs can be used on the Aircraft Carrier to change the trajectory of TNT fired from the craft's dispensers.
The ship can also function as a mobile respawn point, by utilizing Crew signs.
¶ Controls
More information: Direct Control - Naval Mode
ACCs will always cruise in the direction of their "front". If you try to cruise sideways, your ACC will move diagonally in that direction instead.
The "front" of the ACC is determined in two ways.
- If your craft has a Cruise sign, the "front" is opposite to the direction that the sign is facing.
- If your craft has no or multiple Cruise signs, the "front" is the direction you are looking at when piloting the craft.
ACCs use the Naval Direct Control mode. Direct Control mode is superior to manual movement during combat.

¶ Piloting
To pilot an Aircraft Carrier, you may use the command /pilot AircraftCarrier while standing on an eligible Aircraft Carrier. Alternatively, you may right click a sign on the craft that has AircraftCarrier written on the first line.
Piloting an Aircraft Carrier increases your render distance to 10 chunks maximum, until you release the craft.
¶ Fuel
This craft is fueled by Coal, Charcoal, Blocks of Coal, and Blocks of Charcoal placed inside an on-board Furnace.
