Buried Wrecks

by Mrbysco

Buried Wrecks adds shipwreck structures that generate underground, so players can find them while exploring caves as well as on the surface.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.2

What it does

Buried Wrecks generates shipwreck structures below the surface. Players who explore caves or dig down can come across them, which gives underground exploration a destination it lacks in vanilla Minecraft. The vanilla surface shipwrecks still generate alongside the buried ones, so both kinds appear in the same world.

A config file lets server owners set the Y level at which the buried shipwrecks spawn, and datapacks can adjust the placement further. The mod uses the vanilla shipwreck loot tables, so spelunkers may find the same useful items they would find in a surface wreck.

The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Buried Wrecks is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Underground shipwrecks

    Shipwreck structures generate under the ground, placed in the stone where players dig and explore.

  2. Configurable spawn height

    A config option sets the Y level at which the buried shipwrecks spawn, so server owners control how deep they appear.

  3. Datapack placement

    Datapacks can change how the buried shipwreck structures are placed, beyond what the config file offers.

  4. Vanilla loot tables

    Buried shipwrecks use the loot tables of vanilla shipwrecks, so the items inside match what surface wrecks hold.
