Maritime Life - Sailable Boats, Ships & Yachts

First release. Requires Hytale Update 6 (0.6.0).

Added

Vessels

• Eclipse 41, a 41 ft cruising catamaran: walkable deck and cabin roof, two dolphin seats over the bows, stern boarding ladders for swimmers, code zero boost sail, cockpit lamp and full navigation lights.
• Aurora 48, a 48 ft sailing yacht: wheel in the aft cockpit, two cockpit seats and a bow seat for a crew of four, stern swim platform, gennaker for fast runs. Walk-in interior below deck: saloon with galley and sideboard, sleeping cabin with island bed, wetroom forward, all walkable under sail. Trims bow-up and heels through her turns.
• Splash 9, a two-seat jet ski: hop on from the water and ride astride, with a pillion seat behind. Turbo, engine sound that revs with speed, rooster-tail wake, headlight and tail light. Rides bow-up and leans into turns.
• Kicker 8, a floating jump ramp: 8 blocks of run, 5 blocks of rise. Solid to every hull on the sides and back, walkable steps.

Sailing

• Helm control with F and W A S D; the camera stays free and jump releases the wheel.
• Boost sails on key 9 (code zero, gennaker, turbo); a hard turn can blow the sail.
• Station camera: key 7 for first person, key 8 or right-click for a wide view, automatic pull-back at boost speed. The normal camera returns on leaving the station.
• Hulls carry standing players through sway, so the crew moves around while someone else steers.
• Hull-true collision: boats slide along shores and fenders instead of sticking, and never overlap each other. Placement beside another boat goes by hull shape, not a distance ring.
• Jumps with real physics: launch off banks or the ramp, fly an arc, splash down. Beach landings stop dead; driving off an edge falls. Driver and passenger re-seat automatically after a hard landing.
• Lag recovery at every station: a stalled driver or pillion is put back on their station with a chat notice; raised seats release instead, and a driver genuinely overboard loses the helm.
• Wake, spray and idle water effects; sailing, engine and water sound throughout.
• Fully server-authoritative and built for multiplayer.

Life on board

• Sleep in the Aurora's bed: when every player sleeps, morning comes.
• The first sleep sets a respawn point that sails with the boat: die anywhere, wake up on your yacht wherever she is now.
• 18 slots of storage in the saloon sideboard, kept through server restarts and inside the packed-up item.
• Lights on every vessel with /maritimelife lights, from navigation lights down to the Aurora's interior strips and reading lamps.

Items and ownership

• Every vessel is craftable at a workbench (Tinkering tab); creative mode gets /maritimelife spawn and /maritimelife item.
• Placement checks the spot first: dry land, a blocked shoreline or a swimmer in the way refuses with a clear message and never consumes the item.
• Pack-up with a double press of F on the hull; storage contents travel inside the item. On an owned boat, only the owner can pack her up.
• Boats lock to their owner on placement: the wheel and the bed are for the owner and crew, guests can always sit and ride along. Access via /maritimelife access lock | unlock | allow | deny | crew.
• Denying a player, locking the boat or removing her clears any respawn point they had aboard, even while they are offline.
• Creative flight releases any helm, seat or bed cleanly on takeoff.

For server admins

• Speed, turning and boost are tunable per vessel in mods/Trendvogel_MaritimeLife/tuning.json (MLV001 = Eclipse 41, MLV002 = Splash 9, MLV003 = Aurora 48), written with defaults on first start.
• A broken tuning edit stops the server with a log line naming the exact problem; the file is never overwritten.
• /maritimelife lists every command. Spawn, item and remove are creative-only; the hytale:Admin group can force-remove locked boats. /maritimelife remove all clears every boat in the world, loaded or not; both remove forms ask for a second run to confirm.
