Peterwolf's Boats & Ships.

Peterwolf's Boats & Ships** adds three original, steerable wooden watercraft to Minecraft with custom 3D models, 512x512 HD pixel-art textures, server-authoritative physics, and dynamic client-side animations.

Features & Ships.

1. River Skiff.

• Seats: 2 Players / Mobs
• Features: Fast and nimble river craft equipped with side-extending oars anchored in iron rowlocks.
• Animation: Oars remain still at rest, and sweep back & forth while dipping deep underwater when rowing.

2. Explorer Sloop.

• Seats: 4 Passengers
• Cargo: 9-Slot Storage Chest on deck
• Features: Single-mast explorer with a cream sail, stern helm wheel, bowsprit, and lantern.
• Animation: Sails automatically roll up / furl under the yardarm when stationary, and unfurl gracefully when sailing.

3. Merchant Schooner.

• Seats: 6 Passengers
• Cargo: 27-Slot Large Storage Hold (Crates & Barrels)
• Features: Double-mast cargo vessel with a quarterdeck cabin, stern lantern, and dual helm.
• Animation: Dual cream sails furl when idle and catch the wind when underway.

Survival crafting

All items craft in a crafting table. Recipes unlock in the recipe book when you pick up a key ingredient.

Controls

Place a vessel on water with its item. The hull is a walkable deck — step on and off freely like a platform (no vehicle lock). Right-click takes the helm (steering starts); right-click again or sneak leaves the helm onto the deck. Only the helmsman can steer: W/S thrust, A/D rudder. Double-tap W for a speed boost (camera eases out); double-tap A or D for a sharper turn (hull heels up to ~30°). Hold sneak while using the Sloop or Schooner to open its cargo hold. The Explorer Sloop carries two deck barrels; the Merchant Schooner has four supply chests around the mainmast. Movement is server-authoritative; the client only submits helmsman input and interpolates animations.

Lighthouse Light

Craft a Lighthouse Light (6× lantern + 3× gold ingot) to crown a coastal tower. Right-click cycles three modes: rotating spotlight ray → blinking point light (no beam) → off. Spot beams are faint by day and strong at night; flash blinks light level 15/0; off emits no light.

Technical & Gameplay Highlights.

• Server-Authoritative Movement: Smooth WASD controls with realistic inertia, turn rates, and hull heel tilt.
• Dry Deck Floors: Inner floor floating heights calculated so water never clips through decks.
• Enclosed Hulls: Solid bow, stern, and gunwale walls with 512x512 UV texture maps.
• Survival Ready: Fully craftable in survival mode with custom crafting recipes and creative tab integration.
