Proper sailing ships for Minecraft. You craft a real vessel with a controllable sail, cargo hold, and (on most of them) cannons — then crew up with friends and cross the seas in style. Each ship comes in every wood type, so it'll match your build.

The four ships

ShipToughnessCrewCargoBest for
BriggHighest11Huge (162)Warship / heavy hauler — 6 cannons and the biggest hold.
CogHigh5Big (108)All-rounder for trade and escort — 4 cannons.
GalleyMedium9Medium (54)Nimble Mediterranean galley — has oars for a speed boost, 2 cannons.
DrakkarMedium11Medium (54)Viking longship — no cannons but carries shields, rows fast, and breaks through ice.

How to sail

  • Build a ship from a boat (or chest-boat) + sails + leads, then right-click to board.
  • Press R to raise/lower the sail; W/S change how much sail is out (faster ↔ slower).
  • Right-click with a cannon to mount it on the deck, keep cannonballs in the hold, and fire with Space.
  • Galley and Drakkar can row for extra speed; the Drakkar smashes through sea ice.

It's a beta

Small Ships is a polished but still-in-development mod, so expect the occasional rough edge while sailing.
