Small Ships Heraldry
by mss1r
Small Ships Heraldry lets players paint custom sail patterns for ships with an in-game 3D sail editor, and install them on the ship model.
What it does
Patterns are painted directly on a 3D ship model, so each pixel shows how it follows the sail geometry before it is printed on paper. Craft a Heraldry Table to begin. The editor supports the Cog, Brigg, Galley, Drakkar and five ship types, with separate drafts for each sail stage.
Drafts are stored in a local pattern library and can be reused in any world or on a server. Finished designs can be printed onto paper at the Heraldry Table, saved as .sshpattern files, shared with other players and imported by dragging them into the editor. Making a copy of a printed pattern means setting it in the middle of a crafting table and ringing it with eight blank paper sheets.
Small Ships Heraldry requires Small Ships. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked.
Key features
Freehand and shape tools
Freehand strokes, straight lines, fills and symmetry tools all paint the sails, and colour can be adjusted with fine precision.
Sail part isolation
Sail parts can be picked out, concealed or set apart on their own, a practical option when a large ship has many sections to work through.
Selections and transforms
Selections snapped to pixel boundaries can be duplicated, cut, shifted and inserted across sail stages, while the preview remains free to turn, pan and zoom whenever needed.
Installing and removing patterns
Sneak-using a printed pattern on a matching ship installs it, replacing the heraldry and returning the previous pattern. Sneak-using shears removes a pattern without recovering it.
