Update v11 has been released to fix chat spam upon structure creation - Make sure to redownload the pack
IMPORTANTYou can NOT just drag this file into the datapacks folder! Use "Extract here" and copy the contents of the appearing folders into the folders "data" and "datapacks" inside your world folder!DescriptionThis datapack adds ships, which can be found out on the oceans while exploring. Some of them will welcome you, others will probably not like it if you come aboard. Current version v11 is for Minecraft 1.16.5.
InstallationDownload the .zip archive and use "
Extract here". Then copy the contents of the appearing folders into the folders "
data" and "
datapacks"! You might want to do
/function ercerus:ships/no_spam to reduce the amount of text output during generation.
Troubleshooting / Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
I can't find any ships.
Make sure to enable the datapack in the datapack selection screen while creating a new world. If you want to use it in an existing world, use the command /datapack list to see all the available ones for this world. The ones in [green brackets] are enabled, the ones in [red brackets] are disabled. Use the command /datapack enable "file/Ships v10 for [1.16.4]" to enable the datapack, if it is not active.
Also make sure that you followed the installation instructions clearly. It will not work if just drag the downloaded file into your datapacks folder. The generation of ships is tied to the generation of big ocean ruins (not guardian monuments). The frequency with which these spawn is determent by the world seed. You may have to search a while before you will find any.
I have multiplayer related problems.
Make sure command blocks are enabled on the server.
Can you increase the spawn rates of ships?
No, because their spawn rate is tied to the generation of big ocean ruins (not guardian monuments) and the spawn rate of these can only be changed by using the, as of now, experimental world generation features.
You can force the generation of a ship by using the command
/function ercerus:ship/ship_event in a
command block. If you execute it in chat, there is a not so small probability that it will not work correctly. This happens if the player is not standing in the center of a block, which command blocks always are.
Technical InformationDue to Minecrafts limitations, I had to use the existing big ocean ruins (not the guardian monuments) to determine the location where ships can be generated. You can use the command
/locate Ocean_Ruin to find them (Also locates the small one, which won't have ships above them). The contents of the folder:
put my contents in the folder named data are map files from 30200 to 30208. These will replace all maps with these IDs in this world! Normally this should not be a problem, only if you have maps with such high ID numbers. In this case just don't add them to the folder.
CompatibilityThis pack is not compatible with all datapacks, which modify the preexisting ocean ruins (not the guardian monuments).
Want to support this datapack?
Then please go vote for the bugs MC-123836 (It got fixed! Thank you all for voting for this bug :D) and MC-130584 (Fixed as well, you are amazing!) on the official Minecraft Bug Tracker, so they will be fixed. This will directly help me and other creators make better structure modifying datapacks.
Bug Report
If you find anything that looks like it's not working as it should, please leave a comment and I will look into it.
Make sure to activate command blocks, if you are using this datapack on a server.Reviews (Spoilers)

Full feature list
I do not recommend that you look at this list, as it will spoil the sense of discovery.
- Chance of 6/9 to spawn a regular ship. This includes a random ship with random inhabitants.
- Regular ships can be made of: 5 types of wood, 5 types of tables in the captains' cabin, 13 variations of sails, a roof over the bridge, 8 unique banners per faction of inhabitants
- Types of inhabitants: villagers (11 types of decoration on the captains desk), illagers (9 types) and undead (5 types)
- Villagers will spawn with workstations, undead with a broken sail and cobwebs all over the ship
- All types of inhabitants have a unique loot table attatched to their ships chests
- The cargo carried by the ships is diffrent for every ship
- Chance of 1/3 for a villager ship to be turned into a witch trap. This will cause the ship to turn into a ship inhabitated by witches and magicans, as soon as you get to close (with 3 types of sails and 5 types of banners).
- Chance of 1/9 to spawn one of 5 ship which have been reduced to rubble. Again with the 3 types of inhabitants.
- Chance of 1/9 to spawn a TNT carrier (with 4 types of banners).
- Chance of 1/9 to spawn a small fisher boat with 7 types of fishers (villagers, illagers and undead). Again with a randomized cargo block.

Anyone know, how I can spawn a villager´s ship?I wanted to create a story mission for my friends on my server.
Sadly i cant spawn a ship. If i type it in chat it says: unknown function ercerus:ship/ship_event
If i set a command block on land or in water or sky or whatever and copy paste the code which is in your description and i activate the commandblock with a button, nothing happens... it says Unknown function too...
Why? :( just want to spawn a ship..
THX! /function ercerus:ships/ship_ship worked :)
(i mean i already made my story by spawning a minecraft shipwreck through a structure block which was better anyway, but I needed this anyway so thx)
Ships v11 for [1.16.5]\data\ercerus\functions\ships\inhabitants_ship\villager.mcfunction
Navigate to the second command under #staff and delete exactly the following thing close to the end of the command:
,{maxUses:7,buy:{id:"minecraft:golden_apple",Count:1b},buyB:{id:"minecraft:emerald";,Count:16b},sell:{id:"minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple",Count:1b},uses:0,rewardExp:1b}
If you load a world running the datapack with this edit, and you get an error message in the game output, than redownload the pack and make sure you delete exactly the same section as seen above.
Also, thanks so much for adding my video to the description. In the future, if you ever want me to review another datapack of yours, by all means ask and I will happily consider it :D
I have multiplayer related problems.
Make sure command blocks are enabled on the server.
Question: Can Witch Ships spawn naturally?
Edit: By maps I mean the maps you can trade for emeralds from the Ship Captain
To answer your question: Witch ships only appear once you get to close to a disguised ship (10 blocks or so). You can not see them from far away.
Try using the command /function ercerus:ships/ship_event somewhere out on the ocean to see if the datapack works.
