Recommended download (for Vintage Story 1.22.0 - 1.22.7):
seaworthy-0.9.0.zip  1-click install

In the production of this mod all code was made with AI.
All models are made by me and all textures and sounds are vanilla assets.
Everything was tested in singleplayer and on multiplayer.

This mod is one download for everyone and it is standalone, it needs no other mod and works from game version 1.22.0 on.
On its own you cannot walk on the deck, you use the seats instead, everything else works the same.
To walk on the deck put Walkable Entities or PhysicsLib in your Mods folder next to it, the mod notices by itself which one is there.

It is compatible with practically every version of Walkable Entities from 1.0.28 up and with PhysicsLib 1.3.0 (PhysicsLib itself needs game version 1.22.1 or newer). If both are installed the ship uses Walkable Entities.

You can add, swap or remove these two later, your ships stay as they are.

In this mod you can build a two-masted sailing ship for travel and transporting stuff faster than with the boat, you have up to 8 slots for cargo compatible with Carry On and lockable with the cargo hatch, and 10 more spots on deck.

The ship is 17 blocks long (24 with the pole at the front), 5.5 wide and 17 high, deck, railing, hatch and masts are walkable (with PhysicsLib or Walkable Entities).

To build the ship you need 23 rollers in your inventory (hotbar and backpack count together), press "F" to open the selector and click on Ship:west or any other direction to select the ship construction site and start building.

The site needs 7x15 blocks of solid, level ground and 7x21 blocks of water in front of it (at least 2 deep) with 4 blocks of free space above, you see it in the world while you hold the rollers, anything in the way is red.

The logs of the first stage decide the wood, every plank and support beam after that has to be the same wood.

The ship only takes specific metals to build: copper, bronze (any), iron or steel, the metal rod decides the metal of the ship, the 2 metal rings for the tether hooks have to be the same metal as the rod.

Material cost:

1100 planks
208 support beams
92 rope
78 linen
23 rollers
12 logs (any vanilla wood)
12 firewood
2 plumb and square
1 metal rod (any ship metal)
2 metal rings (smithed on the anvil, same metal as the rod)

To sail, right-click the steering wheel at the back.

The sails are set at the rope hooks on the railing, the hooks at the back are for the two big sails, the hooks at the front for the small sail, right-click a hook to go one step further: rolled up, half open, fully open.

With the big sails open you are about as fast as the boat, with the small sail too about a third faster. With all sails rolled up the ship moves slowly with the movement keys, that's how you push it free if it gets stuck.

With Walkable Entities the sails also work without anyone at the steering wheel: as long as someone is on board, on a seat or on deck, the ship keeps sailing straight ahead. With nobody on board it stops, and when nobody is near the ship anymore the sails roll up after a few seconds. A server can switch this off in ModConfig/WalkableEntitiesConfig.json (AllowUnseatedSailing).

You can climb into the rigging by right-clicking the rope ladders, like the ratlines on the sailboat, there are 12 spots along the shrouds. At the top of the tall mast is a crow's nest, right-click it to stand up there and look around freely, the best place to spot land.

The three sails can be dyed one by one: take a paintbrush (stick + flax fibers) in the main hand and a full bucket (10 liters) of any dye in the off hand, then hold right-click on the sail. That takes 3 to 20 seconds, the closer you are to the sail the faster, so climb the rigging. One full bucket is used up per sail. Strong tannin makes brown, the colors are the same as dyed cloth. A sail can be dyed over in another color, but not back to plain linen.

You can lock the ship, no one can interact with the ship except you and the people that are trusted over the clipboard menu. Whoever puts the padlock in owns the ship, and only players that have been on the server before can be put on the list.

The ship is locked with a padlock, the better the material the longer it holds, but be careful, it does not hold forever, someone with a crowbar is waiting (15 seconds up to 20 minutes depending on the lock and the crowbar, the full table is in the handbook).

The cargo is only protected while the hatch is closed, if it is open anyone can use the crates.

On deck there are 10 more spots, you attach things there with ctrl + right-click, the same way as below deck: crates, chests, baskets and barrels for more storage, or a boat seat to sit on while the ship sails. Be careful, these spots are out in the open, the lock does not protect them, anyone can use what stands there and take it away. Valuables belong below deck behind the closed hatch.

You can take animals with you: lead an animal on a rope and right-click one of the two tether hooks at the mast, the animal is tied there and comes along. To let it go again, click the hook with an empty hand. On a locked ship only you and your trusted players can tie animals.

At the clipboard you can decorate your ship with metal bits, 1. the steering wheel (4 bits) and 2. the anchor hoist/winch (2 bits), you also can attach an anchor at the clipboard, just put it in the slot.

The anchor is made by smithing using copper, bronze (any), iron or steel and crafting it with a metal rod, there is a large and a small one, both hold the same. Right-click the winch at the front to drop it, the anchor can hold the ship steady in flowing water.

Up to 5 lanterns can be placed on deck.

If you want the ship gone, hold right-click on it with a saw for 30 seconds, you get 50% of the materials back. Cargo makes it take longer: every full stack in the crates, chests, baskets and barrels on board adds 2 seconds, up to 15 minutes in total, so nobody saws your loaded ship apart in passing. Whatever is still in the containers falls out, and everyone nearby can hear the sawing.

In creative mode there is a ship configurator, with it you can place a finished ship and choose its wood, metal, sail colors, decorations and anchor. It only works in creative mode.

More details are in the in-game handbook under "Game mechanic: The ship"

This mod works together with these mods:

Walkable Entities (1.0.28 or newer, tested up to 1.0.32): put it in your Mods folder and the deck, railing, hatch and masts are walkable, also while the ship is sailing, and the sails work without a helmsman.

PhysicsLib (1.3.0): put it in your Mods folder and the deck, railing, hatch and masts are walkable, also while the ship is sailing. Here the sails still need someone at the steering wheel.

Carry On: carry your filled crates, chests, baskets and barrels on board and put them on the cargo spots.

Cannons (needs TurretLib): a cannon fits on the two deck spots beside the steering wheel, one on each side, attach it with ctrl + right-click like a crate. Right-click the cannon to sit behind it and aim with the mouse, when you get up it turns back to its resting position. At the moment the cannons of that mod are decorative, you can aim but not fire.

Ballista Patch (needs Ballista and TurretLib): the ballista goes on the same two spots, and it really shoots. Sit down, take a ballista bolt in your hand and press R to load it, hold the left mouse button to draw the rope and right-click to fire. All of this also works in multiplayer.

Coming up:
