It has been a long trek through Minecraft Star Trek building for me. Over twelve years of working on Star Trek ships and interacting with a community of builders who love what they do. But all good things must come to an end and after thirteen years, this trek is now over.

With the closing of TREKCRAFT, there is now no official public server for those who have spent years, and I mean years, building Star Trek ships like the Enterprise A, the B, the C, the D, and the E. All of which I have built and more. Many more.

The builds that stand out to me that I love the most, are the Enterprise E, the D, the Fearless builds, and the Exodus. All of which took a couple of years to do. The Enterprise D was by far the largest ship I ever designed and built. The team that was involved with her development is long and storied. From MHeller who ran Minetrek for over a decade and gave us all a home to build it, to Ipanic who helped me work out the early design for Enterprise D, and thankfully, the one who has just released this build to the public with the closure of Trekcraft. Bluephobes, Spirimint (Apler), Martini, Debomb, and dozens of others who helped or directly contributed to the overall build.

The Enterprise D was by far the most ambitious build that I have ever undertaken. From Deck one throughout the entire drive hull, deck by deck, I designed her. With the help of many, we made the Enterprise D (v3) one of the coolest Minecraft builds of all time. I spent five years on that ship working on her interior, her systems, and her block-by-block construction.

The Enterprise E, (remastered), was another build that I am deeply fond of. Perhaps one day, Ipanic or I can release her with a Trekcraft update. Right now, you can download the pre-remastered version of the Enterprise E from my Planet Minecraft page.

The E was a lot of fun to design and build. The folks who helped make her a great build are also many of the same who worked on the D. MHeller, Apler, Ipanic, Martini, etc.

The Exodus is a work of pure enjoyment for me. I have spent over four years working on her here and there. She was recently used to create the Fearless II. Thank you to the folks at Trekcraft for doing that for me and giving me a chance to expand my Fearless collection to include the newer revised hull.

I started working on a Klingon D7 not too long ago on the Trekcraft server. Perhaps it shall one day be completed and posted here.

Check out my Youtube channel and of course, the Planetminecraft - Trekcraft page for more fun Star Trek Minecraft history and builds.

Just an FYI, I have enjoyed building over 40 Star Trek ships over the years. From the first Nova to my current D7 project, I have built nearly every major Star Trek ship seen from TOS through TNG. I never got around to building any of the JJ Universe or Discovery ships. But I'd have liked to. :D Check out Trekcraft and the builders who once built there. They have some out-of-this-world builds.
