Welcome to the future of vanilla-friendly ships!

Nifty Ships brings beautiful, detailed ships with loads of features to Minecraft.

Find unfinished rowboats and ships on beaches and rivers, and learn how to complete them!

Build your ship, fill it with cargo, creatures, or cannons, and sail it across the seas with a realistic sailing simulation!

Make it your own by painting the hull, dyeing the sails, naming your ship, and flying a banner from the mast. Upgrade it into an icebreaker by adding an iron block!

Defeat your enemies (or friends) in epic naval battles, with cannons that work on sea or land!

When it's time to return to port, you can lower the anchor or tie up at the dock.

Place any container in the hold or on deck, from shulker boxes, to furnaces, to crafting tables, and more!

Welcome to the future of mod-friendly ships!

First-party support for TerraFirmaCraft through our official Firma: Civilization mod!

First-party support for Biomes O'Plenty through our official Nifty Ships + Biomes O'Plenty Compat addon!

A Minecraft ship is sailed on a sunny day, its deck and hold filled with furnaces, crafting apparatuses, and containers.
