Black Powder: Age of Sail
- By
Muskets, pistols, cannons and a whole age of sail. Craft and upgrade period firearms, load them the slow, realistic way, and step into a world where musketeers and pirates fight their own war, merchants hand out contracts, and a ghost ship sails at night.

Description
Black Powder: Age of Sail
Muskets, cannons and sailing ships for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). Load your flintlock, fight pirates, and take to the sea.
Weapons
- Muskets and flintlock pistols with realistic reloading: lead ball, paper cartridge and gunpowder.
- Bayonets, cannons and powder-based explosives.
The Living World
- Musketeer forts, pirate villages and cavalry patrols.
- Caravans, arms dealers and merchants with a reputation system.
- Contracts and hireable mercenaries who follow you into battle.
- Blackbeard, ghost ships and their cursed crews at night.
Ships
Build and sail three ships at the Shipyard:
- Sloop: fast and nimble, 6 cannons.
- Brig: sturdier, bigger hold, more cannons.
- Frigate: three masts, 16 cannons on two gun decks, the toughest ship afloat.
Every ship has a hold, seats, a bunk (respawn point) and an anchor.
Sailing
- Dynamic wind: set your sails to catch it, and watch the wind rose and speed in knots on the helm HUD.
- Real momentum: ships accelerate slowly and only turn while moving. Drop the anchor to pivot.
- Storms tear your rigging, so reef your sails or run for port.
- Run aground or ram another ship and feel the hull crack.
Naval combat
- Four ammo types: round shot (hull), chain shot (sails), grapeshot (crew), incendiary shot (fire).
- Aim with right click, fire with left click.
- Fires spread across the deck. Put them out with a water bucket.
- Board enemy ships with G, defeat the crew and take the ship as your own.
- Sunk ships leave a wreck on the seabed.
- Army and pirate patrols roam the seas and fight each other.
Good to know
- Everything is configurable, and configs update automatically between versions.
- No other mods required.
