Shipwright is a Vintage Story mod by Freakyuser396, Pal_5000, RIVVION and Shintharo12. Shipwright adds eight handcrafted boats, from solo kayaks to a Viking longship, with rowing, sailing, recolorable cloth sails, and adjustable handling.
Why this mod is worth installing
It suits players who want more ways to cross rivers and seas, choose boats for different crew sizes, and fine-tune how watercraft handle.
What Shipwright adds
Shipwright expands water transport with two sailing boats, five rowed boats, and a hybrid papyrus sailer. The selection covers compact kayaks and coracles for one traveler as well as larger craft, including a Viking-style longship with room for about twelve seats.
Each vessel is made in the world through its own construction item, following the familiar approach used by the basegame sailboat. Rowing and sailing provide different travel styles, while individual boats can have noticeably different acceleration, turning, and top-speed behavior.
Cloth sails, including the standard sailboat’s sail, can be recolored. Certain boat attachments are interactive too, with features such as opening or closing parts and switching lights on or off. Configlib settings can also tune speed and handling, and can apply the expanded movement system to the basegame sailboat.
