⚓ About the Mod

Peterwolf's Ocean Cruiser Sail Yacht introduces the Ocean Cruiser 72 — a magnificent 22-meter (22 blocks) modern bluewater sailing yacht designed for serious Minecraft ocean exploration.

Built to genuine maritime proportions with a wide 6-block beam and an imposing 3-block underwater keel draft, this yacht feels like a true flagship vessel. Step aboard the teak deck, take command at the twin carbon helms, hoist the sails to catch the wind, or drop anchor and spend the night in the warm glow of the panoramic saloon.

✨ Key Features

📐 1. Authentic Oceanic Scale & Hull Geometry

• Length Overall (LOA): 22 blocks from the bow anchor roller to the aft bathing platform.
• Beam: 6 blocks across, featuring stepped hull flares, sleek modern lines, and dark antifouling underwater protection.
• 3-Block Keel Draft: A deep fin keel with a heavy lead torpedo bulb sitting at Y = -3.0m under the waterline. Watch out for shoals and reefs — the keel will run aground if you enter shallow waters!

🛋️ 2. Fully Furnished Panoramic Saloon & Sleeping

• Panoramic Translucent Glazing: Tinted cabin windows (entityTranslucent) let you look directly into the spacious saloon from the deck.
• Complete Interior:
  • U-shaped plush sofa with a central teak navigation & dining table.
  • Fully equipped galley with countertops, sink, faucet, and cooking stove.
  • Master cabin in the bow with a double bed, soft pillows, and linen.
• Cabin Sleep Mechanic: Right-click the companionway entrance during stormy weather or at night to sleep in the cozy berth, skip the night, and restore your health.

💡 3. Atmosphere & Night Navigation Lights

• Automatic Illumination: Activates seamlessly at dusk, during storms, or in rain.
• Warm Interior Glow: Hidden warm-LED ceiling strip lighting makes the saloon come alive through the windows at night.
• Safety & Navigation: Regulatory navigation lights — Port (Red), Starboard (Green), Stern white light, and masthead steaming light, plus discrete courtesy lights across the cockpit steps.

💨 4. Realistic Sailing Physics & Auxiliary Diesel

• Powered by pw_wind_n_sails: Realistic wind vectors, sail trim, heel/roll angles, aerodynamic lift, and leeway drift when drifting without propulsion.
• Deep Keel Righting Moment: Heavy ballast dynamically fights heel angle to keep the yacht stable in rough ocean squalls.
• Auxiliary Diesel Engine: When navigating tight channels or calm waters, fire up the inboard diesel engine with forward throttle and reverse gear (realistic inverted rudder steering while backing up).
• Windward Hiking: Press Space at the helm to hike out onto the windward coaming to balance the boat against stiff winds.

🛶 5. Transom Davit Crane & White Rowing Tender

Because the Ocean Cruiser draws 3 full blocks of water, she cannot beach on shallow shores.

• Stainless Steel Transom Davit: Mounted securely on the stern with winches, pulleys, and wire hoists.
• Ocean Tender: A lightweight, elegant white rowing dinghy with teak benches and dual oars.
• Interactive Dinghy Operations:
  1. Sail near the shore and drop anchor.
  2. Lower the tender onto the water via the davit control console.
  3. Shift + Right-Click to unhook and row freely onto shallow beaches and islands!
  4. Return to the yacht, hook the tender back onto the davit, and hoist it up for oceanic passages.

🪢 6. Dual Helms, Walking Deck & Mooring System

• Solid Deck Collision: Freely walk around the cockpit, side-decks, cabin roof, and stern swim platform while cruising or drifting.
• Twin Helm Stations: Choose your vantage point at either the port or starboard helm wheel.
• 6 Mooring Cleats: Complete mooring system on the bow, spring, and stern cleats. Secure your vessel to harbor bollards using leads or anchor directly in open bays.

🧭 Cruising Tips & Navigation

1. Watch the Depth Gauge! You need at least 3 to 4 blocks of clear water to navigate safely. If your keel strikes sand, gravel, or coral, an on-screen warning will appear, and forward momentum will halt.
2. Anchor Offshore & Use Your Tender: Drop your anchor in deep waters outside coral reefs, lower your Ocean Tender off the stern davit, and row ashore to explore the island without risking your yacht.
3. Twin Wheels: Steering from the windward helm gives you the best line of sight over the sails and waves!
