“boring”??? Pfffffffffffffffffffff. They’re amazing!!
Location: Go into the Nether Roof main portal, turn right
My inspiration was a block section in the nether (last year) that looked like a sub. I didn’t think i would put in 100 hours.
Building on the nether roof allows everyone to see them as if they are on the ocean floor.
Also fun fact - Hunt for Red October was filmed with dim lighting, models and fog.
Original concept was using the materials sprouts87, dexmaster techisattva & others helped provide to the community. The idea was to do Andy Worhol subs with all different block materials, but I tired of that idea.
Next I built the Typhoon sub and it escalated from there.
(The small boat is a German U-Boat for a size comparison)
There are the following features.
- static mine field around subs & torpedos with turbulant water wake
- working launcher for flying machine powered torpedos
- working loader for torpedos
- working loader for flying machines
- Mine “exploding” between the two SSN-21 subs
- Target end point for torpedo with display
Thanks to all for suggestions and assistance. the mods for support, and LVL1 - it was fun as always.

** EDIT - SgtAwesomesauce, check out Making of “The Hunt for Red October” - Behind the Scenes on YT. Great watch for fans of the story **
the sticky piston missles are a nice touch
Wow, this is really well done, I love it.
Got a special place in my heart for that book
I thought i was gonna build more but this is about it. I built a KFC bucket and a faygo orange soda. Hopefully I get in the top 10. coords -335 -8274 picture:
and i put signs with my forum name at both of them. lemme know what you think
Hey all, great to see builds starting to pop up in here! Last day for server build submissions will be December 31, so if you wanna enter make sure to post your coords and pics here before then. The server will likely stay up for a bit after so you’ll still be free to build for fun, but judging will start at the beginning of January!
Oh the pride of the soviet navy. The akula class submarine. Notable for not just being the largest submarines but particularly wide. Soviet technology at the time leant cheaper construction if multiple pressure hulls were made in parallel and not a singular large hull like the Americans (who couldn’t make a sub to the size of the typhoon )
Typhoon is the NATO designation which stems from the codename Brezhnev once gave the sub’s but really doesn’t make much sense… Shark would have been better
The Hunt for red october was before tom Clancy went to shit. Good stuff. He wasnt wrong that someone would eventually make a magnetohydrodynamic drive. Its just it wouldn’t be the soviets . (See what the USN is currently doing successful RnD on)
Sadly the typhoon and its US counter (the Ohio class) have proven very difficult to replace with the USN just keeping the Ohio class going with no real SSBN successor and the Russian navy replacing the typhoon with the smaller Borei Class SSBN building 2 for the price of 1 typhoon.
A concept years ahead of its time in the film.
TFW you want the Red October to win without seeing the rest
Something something adventuring flint and steel
