Revision

The balloon is a block from Eureka. When added to your ship it allows you to use SPACE and V to ascend and descend. By default balloons can support 5000kg of weight but in practice they support 4550kg due to the balloon’s own weight.

Like all Eureka blocks, the balloon does nothing unless the ship it’s on also has a ship helm.

Adding more balloons than needed will lead towards faster ascending/descending with a max speed of 3.74m/s.

Balloons can be ‘popped’ by many types of projectiles:

• Arrows

• Fishing Rod Bobbers

• Potions of Lingering

• Splash Potions

• Dragon Fireballs

• Fire Charges

• Fire Balls

• Rockets

• Tridents

• Ender Pearls

• Eggs

• Snowballs

• Llama Spit

• Shulker Bullets

• Bottles o’ Enchanting
