Unwrecked Ships
by Wpgradford
Unwrecked Ships repairs the vanilla shipwreck structures and makes them sail again, generating naturally in new worlds on the server.
What it does
The mod's ships keep the vanilla design. Repaired hulls get sails and lanterns, and the ships appear in the world as generated structures rather than as items to place. Two data packs cover the content: Unwrecked Ships Base adds seven ship variants using only the wood combinations found in vanilla, with white sails, while Unwrecked Ships Plus adds every wood and sail color combination in the game, plus Nether ships built from Nether-only woods.
Some ships in the Plus pack carry sailors, such as Villagers and Pillagers, and Piglins on the Nether ships. Their loot layout also differs from vanilla. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 24 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.11. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Big Globe - Unwrecked Ships Compatibility requires it.
