Tutorial:Flying machines

Flying machines are mechanisms that use slime blocks, honey blocks, redstone blocks, observers, and/or pistons to move a structure of blocks in one or more directions, moving freely through air or water without support. They can also be designed to carry along a player and/or other entities, which may be riding in a minecart or towed along by honey blocks.
