Legacy Boat Ruins
by MingXti
Legacy Boat Ruins adds three shipwreck variants to Fabric worlds for version 26.2, spawning across ocean biomes.
What it does
Shipwreck structures spawn in ocean biomes in three variants, chosen at random from a weighted pool of templates. Each wreck holds chests that draw from five custom loot tables, with drop rates tuned by the author, so sunken wrecks can hold anything from common sailor junk to rarer deep-sea finds. Cartographer villagers gain a level 3 trade that sells explorer maps pointing to the nearest ruin.
The loot tables and structure settings are data-driven JSON files that follow vanilla conventions, which makes them straightforward to edit or extend in a datapack. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code is public. It is meant for survival worlds, adventure maps and modpacks, and the license permits remixing and shipping it in a modpack.
Legacy Boat Ruins has no required dependencies beyond Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer and Fabric API 0.152.1 or newer for 26.2. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The only published build is version 1.0.0 for 26.2, dated 2026-06-30.
Key features
Three shipwreck variants
Wrecks appear across ocean biomes in three templates, so one trip across the sea can show several different layouts.
Five loot tables
Chests in the wrecks draw from five custom loot tables, ranging from everyday items to rarer treasure.
Cartographer explorer maps
Cartographers at level 3 offer explorer maps that point to the closest ruin, which shortens the search.
Data-driven configuration
Loot and structure behavior are set in JSON files that follow vanilla conventions, so they can be adjusted without code.

Sunken wrecks, buried treasure, and ocean mysteries waiting to be found.
