Put your ship in a bottle! Addon for Valkyrien Skies 2 which lets you carry your ship around as an item and then place it back into the world.
Getting Started: Craft a Big Bottle with 7 glass and a heart of the sea. Then, right click on a ship while holding the Big Bottle - this will cost 30 levels in survival. Now you have a Ship In A Bottle! Empty the bottle back into water to see your ship again.

Notes:
- The mod will attempt to find an unobstructed space to place the ship. If you empty your bottle into an underwater river and can't find the ship, try looking for it above ground.
- Be careful not to die in lava with your ship! Ships are saved to /saves/[world name]/generated/ship-in-a-bottle/[ship name].nbt so you can use /place template ship-in-a-bottle:[ship name] to bring your ship back into the world.
