Have you ever wished you could navigate the sea with your very own ship? Well, look no further!
This datapack introduces sailable ships that are 100% customizable. And did I mention they have explosive cannons as well?

If you have collected a lot of treasure on your voyage, fell free to put down a chest on the deck. Both chest and items within will be perfectly safe as you travel. Other players, parrots, dogs and other entities are also able to catch a ride on your ship.
The ship will sail automatically when you start it and you can turn the ship by 90° along the north/east/south/west directions.
Since boats only work on water, there is a built in failsafe that prevents the ship from crashing into the shore as well as other ships or constructions.
If you are not a fan of the two default ship designs, you can simply tear it down and rebuild it just the way you like (just make sure that it stays within the 11x13x13 hitbox, and that the control buttons all stays the same way).

To obtain the ship you must first gather 32 oak planks, 8 oak logs, 12 white wool, 4 iron blocks and 1 heart of the sea (ships are expensive!). Drop them all in a pile on the ground, to create the 'Heart of the Ship'. When the heart comes into contact with water, it will construct the ship for you, as long as there is space to build it.

Make sure to check out my other datapack, 'Pirate AI Ships crewed by Pillagers', which introduces pirate ships; moving targets that fire back at you!
