Peterwolf's Cruiser Sail Yacht (Fabric 26.3)
Peterwolf's Cruiser Sail Yacht introduces a full-scale, seaworthy ocean cruising yacht to Minecraft. Built from the keel up as an
expansion to Peterwolf's Wind & Sails, it is 2.5× larger than the classic sport dinghy (~11.25 m length, 3.75 m beam), complete
with an authentic teak deck, an interior cabin with a rest berth, a functional pedestal steering wheel, an auxiliary harbor motor, and
an advanced 6-cleat mooring system.
⚓ Key Features
⛵ True Wind Sailing Aerodynamics
- Powered by the genuine aerodynamic lift & drag engine from Peterwolf's Wind & Sails.
- Dynamic heel under sail with heavy-displacement ballast keel righting moment.
- True-to-life sail trim: ease or trim the mainsheet with W / S to catch maximum wind power.
- Both the main boom and the forward jib track and billow realistically to leeward.
- Natural wind leeway drift when drifting freely or swinging on anchor.
🚶 Fully Walkable Teak Deck & Interior Cabin
- Players and crew can walk freely across the deck, cockpit, coachroof, and swim platform while the vessel is stationary or
underway.
- Interior Cabin Berth: Right-click the companionway cabin door at night or during a thunderstorm to take shelter, rest
peacefully, heal, and wake up to a clear morning.
☸️ Helm Pedestal & Active Hiking
- Steering Wheel: Take the helm by right-clicking the binnacle-mounted steering wheel.
- Active Rail Ballast (Hiking): Press [Space] to hike out onto the windward deck, shifting the skipper's body weight to
counter heel in heavy weather; press again to return behind the wheel.
- Proportional Rudder Physics: Smooth steering wheel response with progressive auto-centering.
⚙️ Auxiliary Inboard Diesel Engine
- Start or stop the harbor motor with [Z] (automatically furls the sails for tidy harbor maneuvering).
- Incremental Throttle: Tap [W] to increase forward power, tap [S] to reduce or engage reverse gear. The throttle holds
its position when keys are released.
- Authentic marine diesel pulse, propeller cavitation, and bubble wake effects.
🪢 Advanced 6-Cleat Mooring & Anchor System
- 6 individual mooring cleats (3 port, 3 starboard: Bow, Midship Spring, Stern).
- Two-step mooring workflow: tie lines between dock posts (fences/chains) and yacht cleats using lead ropes.
- Full integration with Peterwolf's Wind & Sails heavy sea anchors.
🌊 Draft & Keel Grounding Mechanics
- Realistic hull draft: requires at least 2 blocks of water depth.
- Shoal water / grounding detection: alerts the skipper and prevents driving deeper into shallows; reverse out with [S] to regain
buoyancy.
📐 Frustum Culling Immunity
- Custom extended bounding box ensures the full 17.5-meter mast, rigging, and wind vane never clip out of view when looking up from
the cockpit.
