GRÄF SHIPS – Explore the Oceans Like Never Before!
Turn your Minecraft Bedrock oceans into an exciting maritime adventure with GRÄF SHIPS!
GRÄF SHIPS is a nautical add-on designed to bring large, detailed, controllable sailing ships into Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Instead of traveling across the ocean in a small vanilla boat, players can command a much larger vessel featuring multiple decks, detailed construction, onboard storage, interactive elements, and a more immersive sailing experience.
Whether you’re exploring distant islands, transporting supplies, embarking on survival adventures, or creating your own pirate-themed world, GRÄF SHIPS adds a new way to experience ocean travel.

- Multiple deck levels to explore.
- Staircases connecting different areas of the ship.
- A detailed steering area.

The goal is to make the ocean an important part of the adventure rather than just an obstacle between destinations.
