Vanilla shipwrecks all start to look the same after a few ocean voyages — Revamped Shipwrecks Mod fixes that by splitting every sunken vessel into three independently randomized sections, producing hundreds of unique combinations each time you dive down. Every wreck now spawns in all vanilla wood types, from cherry and bamboo to warped and crimson variants, so the ocean floor finally feels as diverse as the rest of your world. With over 61,000 downloads since its September 2024 release, this community favorite by WightofShadows has quickly become a staple for exploration-focused players.
Key Features
- Modular three-section generation — Each shipwreck is divided into bow, midsection, and stern, with each piece randomly pulled from a pool of custom and vanilla-inspired designs. The mosaic approach means you can encounter several hundred distinct wrecks without repeating layouts.
- Vertical orientations — Ships can now spawn pointing upward or downward into the seabed, creating fresh traversal challenges and more dramatic underwater scenery.
- Floating wreckage and debris — Damaged ships may scatter missing pieces and debris nearby, some of which still contain loot chests. Exploration rewards players who search the surrounding area, not just the main hull.
- All vanilla wood types — Wrecks generate in every wood variant found in vanilla Minecraft, including cherry, bamboo, warped, and crimson. Each wood type gives the ship a distinct visual identity.
- Varied chest placement — While loot tables remain unchanged from vanilla, chest locations shift depending on the generated ship structure, requiring different strategies to find and loot them efficiently.

What's New
- Vertical wrecks — Two new orientations added: ships can now spawn angled upward or downward into the ocean floor.
- Disconnected wreckage — Sea shipwrecks have a chance to generate their missing pieces detached from the main hull, some still containing their loot chests.
- Debris generation — New debris pieces now spawn around sea shipwrecks based on their degradation stage, adding environmental storytelling.
- Near-intact segment — A new ship segment featuring partially intact sails, a crow's nest, and a stripped mast brings wrecks closer to looking like functional ships.
- Smarter segment pairing — Some segments can now call upon specific complementary pieces when they look good together, with certain combinations only generating under these conditions.
FAQ
Do Revamped Shipwrecks appear in already-explored oceans?
No. The mod only affects newly generated chunks. You will need to explore unvisited ocean areas or create a new world to encounter the redesigned shipwrecks.
Does this mod change shipwreck loot?
The loot tables remain identical to vanilla Minecraft. However, chest locations vary depending on which ship sections are generated, so you may need to search different parts of each wreck.
Can I use Revamped Shipwrecks with Fabric and Quilt?
Yes. The mod supports Forge, NeoForge, Fabric (requires Fabric API), and Quilt. Make sure to download the correct version for your mod loader and Minecraft version.
