Description
there's something stirring in the deep...something powerful...
Whaleborne

Description
This mod adds a new mob, The Hullback, a creature that resides within the deep oceans of the Minecraft world.

Taming Process
these creatures are friendly, but tragically are prone to becoming covered in gunk. if you clean up a Hullback using an Axe and Shears, the creature will be in your debt...

Pirate Ship Transformation
…They then can be Saddled then armored with 64 Planks… or any other armor material added through compat!

Additional Features
You can also find Widgets, useful additions and peculiar trinkets like sails, cannons and more, that can be installed on a Hullback after uncovering them in buried treasure and sunken ships...

The Hullback can only be controlled using the new Helm item..

Tips & facts:
- You can stack barnacles to make different sounds, up to nine blocks tall
- You can apply banners to sail and get them back with a water bucket :)
- You can open the hullback's inventory using E when riding to check on it
- You can open the cannon's inventory using E
- You can fire the cannon using the spacebar, but you need gunpowder first...
- If an anchor is installed, you can lower and raise it from the helm with your spacebar!
