Shipwrecks are generated structures that primarily generate in oceans and beaches.

Generation[edit]

Shipwrecks generate in all types of oceans and beaches, usually underwater. They may also rarely generate inside icebergs and very rarely generate in underwater ravines.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Structure[edit]

Shipwrecks are shaped to resemble classic sailing vessels or pirate ships. They will generate in one of three ways: upright, "capsized" (keeled sideways), or "turtled" (upside-down). In many cases, they are missing their bow (front) or stern (rear), mast, and multiple other blocks, appearing damaged. It is also possible to find them in one intact piece. They consist solely of wooden materials, including logs, stripped logs‌^{[BE only]}, planks, fences, slabs, stairs, trapdoors, a door (if the ship is upright), and 1-3 chests, depending on rotation and whether all or half of the shipwreck is present. The bow generates two chests if upside-down and one otherwise, while the stern always generates two, and the whole ship generates three, regardless of the ship's rotation or condition. All variants of wood (except acacia‌^{[JE only]}) are used in the shipwreck's structure, but only two wood types at a time (spruce + dark oak, jungle + dark oak, jungle + spruce, birch + oak, spruce + oak, etc.) are used.
