Adds additional medieval ships into the game

Small Ships Addon

This is an addon for Small Ships. Small Ships 2.0.1 or newer must be installed, the addon does not work without it.

The addon adds four ships to Small Ships: the Rowing Boat, the Fishing Boat, the Early Cog and the Early Caravel.

Explanation

Install Small Ships 2.0.1 or newer and this addon.
Right-click the Small Ships Dockyard. The four ships are in the Build tab next to the ships of Small Ships.
Controls, wind, upgrades, repairing, banners and sinking work the same as in Small Ships. You can read about them on the Small Ships page.
The Fishing Boat has its own key for the net. The default is N, you can change it in the controls.

Ships

These are the default values. All of them can be changed in the config.

Ship	Hull	Speed	Turning	Slots	Seats	Water
Rowing Boat	50 HP	15 km/h	10.0	27	4	any
Fishing Boat	140 HP	21 km/h	3.6	54	5	any
Early Cog	150 HP	24 km/h	3.5	54	9	cold
Early Caravel	150 HP	23 km/h	3.8	54	8	warm

Rowing Boat

Small boat with oars and no sail.
With oars it reaches its full speed in any wind.
The cheapest ship to build.
Keeps its full speed with a full cargo hold.
Same speed in every biome.

Early Cog

Single-masted sailing ship (cold water).
Up to 6 shields, 3 on each side. Each shield reduces the damage to the ship by 3%.
Best with tail wind.

Early Caravel

Single-masted sailing ship (warm water).
Keeps its full speed in head wind.
Keeps its full speed with a full cargo hold.
Best with side wind.

Fishing Boat

Single-masted sailing boat with a fishing net.
The net catches fish and collects items while it is in the water.
Same speed in every biome.
Best with side wind.
The driver lowers the net and hauls it in with the net key (default N).
The net hangs in the water beside the boat and follows it.
Small water animals that swim into the net are killed. With the default size of 0.8 blocks that is fish and squids, dolphins pass through.
Their drops and every other item that drifts in the net go into the cargo hold.
Every 30 seconds the net brings up a catch by itself. The catch comes from the fishing loot of Minecraft, so a datapack that changes fishing loot changes the net too.
Deeper water under the net gives the catch more luck, up to a depth of 25 blocks.
A moving boat catches faster

Wind

The table shows the speed change at full wind strength with full sail.

Ship	Head wind	Side wind	Tail wind
Fishing Boat	-10%	0%	-40%
Early Cog	-75%	+5%	+40%
Early Caravel	0%	+5%	-35%

The Rowing Boat has no sail and is not affected by the wind.
The Early Cog is a cold-water ship: 20% faster in cold biomes, 20% slower in warm biomes and 5% slower in biomes that are neither cold nor warm.
The Early Caravel is a warm-water ship: 20% faster in warm biomes, 20% slower in cold biomes and 5% slower in biomes that are neither cold nor warm.
