This datapack adds hostile pirate ships to Minecraft!

When a player who is cursed by the 'bad omen' effect enters open ocean, there is a chance that a pirate ship crewed by pillagers will spawn nearby.
The pirates will chase the player and, when in range of their cannons, they will turn and fire explosive cannonballs. Taking out the pirate captain will prevent the ship from moving, but the cannons will still fire unless you take out all of the crewmembers! The ship itself can be destroyed as well, if enough explosions hit the ship.
Being pirates, they probably have a chest with treasure hidden on the ship..

This datapack works best alongside my other datapack: 'Sailable Custom Ships with Cannons'
Make sure to install this as well, so you have a fighting chance against the pirate ships!

The explosion power of the cannons as well as the respawn timer (respawn disabled by default) can be configured in the "data/pirates/functions/config" file.



Installation:

- Download the .zip file and place it inside the datapacks folder in your world save.

- Once inside the game, find an empty area in an ocean and run the command: "/function pirates:summon_pirates"

- Take cover from the cannon fire!

Hey I love both of the datapacks where you can control the ship and be attacked by these guys..
My friend showed me and I fell in love instantly.. ^u^
I do however have a couple of suggestions/ requests if you are willing to take them..
Some will be as follows;

-Nether Ships since there are wood types (more like fungi that look like wood) that can be used to replace the ships resources so it doesnt burn in lava and would be very neat to having Piglin Ships (Maybe they also attack if you dont have any gold on or the ship has no gold on it?)..

-End ships and enemy end ships.. Would be kinda cool to have a unique ship that can be used, would make travelling the end so much more easier but also scarier if you come across these guys.. XD

-More variations to enemy ships in overworld like having an undead skeleton ship where the ship is completely wrecked and/ or a Drowned ship in which arose back from its underwater grave and is manned by a crew of Drowned..


I hope you dont mind the ideas and I dont expect these to be made in the existing datapacks or even at all but it would be very cool and expansive to have some of these features spread across all dimension..
I hope to see more great content from you soon.. ^u^

give yourself bad omen, and they'll spawn in open water (the higher bad omen, the better)

I know it can be done but i dont know if your current method allows for adding it.. but,

I think it would be cool if the wreckages sank, personally. Also the pirates could stand to be more common

Does it only work with bad omen to spawn naturally? Is there a way to make them spawn naturally (rarely) even without the bad omen effect?

No, not without commands. You can use the command /function pirates:summon_pirates if you wish to summon them without bad omen.
