by G_Mungus

Ship In A Bottle lets players shrink a Valkyrien Skies ship into an item and place it back into the world later, for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1.

What it does

A ship is stored in a bottle item and can be placed again on unobstructed ground or water, where the mod looks for free space before it sets the ship down. Players who cannot find a spot in an underwater river or a cave are advised to look above ground. Ships are saved as .nbt files in the world's generated folder, so they can also be restored from a template.

The mod needs Valkyrien Skies to build the ships, along with Fabric API, Forgified Fabric API, Kotlin for Forge and VLib. Ship In A Bottle is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only version 1.20.1 has builds, with 2.0.0 as the latest file. Ship In A Bottle Fix requires it.

Key features

  1. Bottled ships

    A Valkyrien Skies ship is sealed into a bottle item so it can be carried in the inventory.

  2. Free-space placement

    The mod searches for unobstructed space before placing a ship, and warns about lava when a ship is moved.

  3. Saved ship templates

    Each ship is written to a named .nbt file in the world's generated folder and can be placed again from a template.
