Swashbucklers is a ship mod that contains 5 fully functional ships and a weapon
*to note the corvette steamship is still a work in progress, summoned with the command "/summon hpm:corvette_steamship" on versions 1.18-current, and it likely wont be backported
- Each ship has a wreck and a few have a damaged model
- The weapon is a handheld cannon which fires cannonballs with explosive damage
- The first ship in the mod is a swashbuckler, a simple sailing boat slightly better than the vanilla boat
- The second ship is the upgraded swashbuckler, a swashbuckler with better visibility and a cannon
- The raft is a slow, cheap boat with a large amount of storage
- The cutter is a large ship with the speed of a swashbuckler and a large amount of health and storage
- The war/military cutter is a cutter with weapons and more health
Other features include:
- A hand cannon
- The cutters enter a damaged stage when the first stage dies/gets destroyed
- The upgraded swashbuckler has a cannon, press H to fire it when you have cannonballs in your inventory
Recipes:
- the cannon ball produces 16
