Shipwrecks are generated structures found in aqueous landscapes.

Generation[edit]

Shipwrecks generate rarely in all types of oceans and beaches, usually underwater. On rarer occasions they may generate inside icebergs, or rarely, inside of underwater ravines.‌[BE only]

Structure[edit]

Main article: /Structure

Shipwrecks resemble classic vessels or caravels. They 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 intact. They consist solely of wooden materials, including logs‌[JE only]/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.

Loot[edit]

See also: Chest loot

Shipwrecks contain 1–3 chests that have a bit of loot in them. Supply chests generate in the bow of the ships, treasure chests generate in the upper section of the stern, and map chests in the lower section. The absence of one of these sections means the corresponding chest is also absent.
