1.0.18

Watermen

• Operators can send nearby watermen home with /pwboats send-home [radius] (default 64, max 512). Those with a port sail or walk back; the rest start searching for a settlement, bed or shore.
• Send-home now breaks atoll circling: the hull first leaves the lagoon on a radial heading, ignores traffic dances, and only then sails to the remembered waterside berth. The atoll itself is never adopted as home.
• Recalled hulls no longer freeze: missing home water no longer cancels the helm, and a jammed ship picks an open heading or a short reverse instead of sitting still.
• After reaching the home pier, watermen stop the hull and disembark instead of keeping the helm.

1.0.17

Watermen

• Collision avoidance now starts much earlier: the helmsman turns onto a nearby dodge point instead of slightly nudging a distant waypoint.
• Starboard tack (wind on the right rail, taken from vanilla cloud drift to the east) has right of way; port tack, overtaking and windward boats keep clear.
• Reverse to break a jam lasts three times longer.
• Trade berths ring the whole atoll (24 headings × 4 radii) instead of a short arc on the port-facing side.

1.0.16

Watermen

• Autopilot now yields to and overtakes other watercraft instead of driving into them at busy atolls.
• If hulls already lock together, the helmsman uses reverse and turns away until the jam breaks.
• Atoll trade berths are spread around the lagoon so several watermen no longer aim at the same point.

Shore hamlets

• Hut beds are no longer overwritten by barrels: the barrel sits on the opposite wall so both bed halves stay intact.

1.0.15

Shore hamlets

• Removed the decorative stairs that sat in the hut doorway and blocked watermen from leaving.
• Watermen can open bamboo doors again (including while fishing or sailing), and they spawn just inside a cleared doorway.

1.0.14

Shore hamlets

• Waterman settlements now sit at the waterline instead of on a raised bank: hut floors, the terrace and the pier match the water surface.

1.0.13

Shore hamlets

• Huts that sit on water now stand on log stilts and get a spruce boardwalk inland to the bank or village path.
• Six hut looks instead of one: oak, spruce, dark oak, birch, mangrove and bamboo, with different footprints, roofs, windows and small porch details. Bamboo doors stay on every house.

1.0.12

Waterman settlements

• Watermen now live in generated shore hamlets on the bank of a large body of water (ocean, wide river or lake). Inland ponds are skipped.
• Simple oak huts with flat slab roofs and bamboo doors, crop plots, and a mandatory wooden port with docked vessels.
• One in ten settlements is large: more huts, a bigger pier, and a stone lighthouse capped with Lighthouse Light.
• Locate with /locate structure peterwolfs_boats_and_ships:waterman_settlement. Operators can place one with /pwboats spawn-settlement [small|large] while standing on a shore.

1.0.11

Watermen come home

• Stopped watermen spinning in place after leaving the pier. A failed local water-route no longer zeros thrust and flips the rudder.
• They now keep steering toward the atoll or the remembered departure berth; if the hull is jammed they back off and turn instead of circling.
• Unloaded ocean chunks are treated as open water, voyage tickets cover a wider window, and the return clock is no longer cut off mid-ocean.
• After an atoll trade they still walk treasure to the chest beside the bed; if there is no bed they use (or place) a chest at the home port.

1.0.10

Crash fix

• Fixed a server crash (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException) when a waterman's return route had no intermediate waypoints — the hull now steers toward the port instead of indexing an empty list.

1.0.9

Atoll treasure goes home

• After a waterman returns from an atoll trade, he takes the treasure off the vessel and walks it to the chest beside his bed.
• He prefers his claimed village bed, otherwise the nearest waterside bed, and uses an adjacent chest (or places one next to the bed if none is there).
• Copper, iron, gold, emeralds, diamonds, netherite scrap and Atoll Seeds are stored in that chest instead of remaining in the hold or his pockets.

1.0.8

Multiple riders and safe disembarking

• Enabled the full declared seating capacity: 2 riders in the River Skiff, 4 in the Explorer Sloop and 6 in the Merchant Schooner.
• The first player to right-click an unclaimed vessel becomes the helmsman. Later players board free passenger seats without stealing control.
• Prevented players, villagers and watermen from dismounting while a vessel is moving or stopped in open water.
• A mounted rider may disembark only after the vessel has stopped beside a safe solid shore or pier position.
• Watermen now keep steering through the final port approach, stop the hull at the actual bank or pier, and only then leave the vessel.
• Added a Client GameTest covering three simultaneous riders, first-click steering priority, moving-vessel dismount rejection for a player and villager, and safe pier disembarking.
• Removed the artificial green navigation island from the waterman Client GameTest; the voyage now uses open water and the real port pier.

1.0.7

Water World Atoll trade voyages

• Added optional compatibility with Water World - The Atoll; Boats and Ships still runs normally when the atoll mod is absent.
• Watermen frequently seek the nearest atoll, choose a port-facing offshore berth, sail there to trade and return to their remembered home port.
• Long voyages are planned as safe local water-route legs. Each leg respects the current hull width, banks, islands and solid obstacles, while a moving voyage ticket keeps the nearby water loaded.
• At the atoll, the waterman visibly trades with emeralds, happy-villager particles and trade sounds before loading tangible wealth into the vessel cargo and his inventory.
• Returning cargo includes copper, iron blocks, gold blocks, emerald blocks, diamonds and netherite scrap, plus optional Atoll Seeds when the atoll mod provides them.
• After a successful return, the waterman displays an emerald block and waits before planning another trade voyage.

1.0.6

Waterman villager

• Added the Waterman Spawn Egg to the mod tab and vanilla Spawn Eggs tab, with English and Polish names.
• Watermen are persistent fisherman villagers that prefer living by water and remember a waterside port.
• They visibly fish at the shore, play casting/catch effects and store real cod, salmon, tropical fish or pufferfish.
• They board any empty vessel from this mod, make a short server-authoritative trip, steer back to the same port and disembark.
• Their autopilot plans a water-only route sized for the current hull, keeps clearance from banks and solid obstacles, never cuts diagonally across land, and recalculates the route if the way becomes blocked.

Controls & boarding

• No auto-board: walking onto the hull never mounts you as a passenger.
• Right-click only takes the helm (WASD steering); right-click again or sneak leaves the helm onto the deck. Only the helmsman steers.
• Walkable deck like blocks in water: solid collision at deck height so you can step on from a pier and off freely without vehicle lock. Hull hitboxes match the deck (not masts) so approach from a dock works.
• Double-tap W while captaining for a temporary speed boost (higher acceleration and max speed while held).
• Double-tap W speed boost eases the camera out: third-person distance increases and FOV widens slightly while the boost is held.
• Double-tap A or D for a much sharper turn rate while the key is held.
• Sharp turns lean the hull up to 30° opposite the turn direction (sails and oars follow the heel).

• Explorer Sloop: 2 chain + 1 white wool + 2 string + 1 barrel + 3 oak planks.

• Explorer Sloop deck: two supply barrels beside the mast (replacing the single mid-deck chest prop).
