✨Features
Spoiler
💀Pirate skeletons and captains
Skeleton pirates are a new kind of enemies that you can meet in your world. They are different from ordinary undead, they don't burn in the sun. They also look different from other skeletons and are dressed in shabby clothes.
Skeleton captains are the heads of their crews. They have more health than pirate skeletons and fancy clothes. If you manage to defeat them, you will receive a trophy skull as a reward and one of the side quest items: treasure key, skeleton's order or skeleton crew assignment.
☠️Types of skeletons
There are currently four types of skeletons, each with different attributes and combat approaches: Skeleton Pirates (regular), Blooming Skeletons, Shadow Skeletons, and Golden Skeletons. Use your wits to defeat the last two types
💎Treasures
Treasures include trophy skulls and treasure chests.
Trophy skulls can be obtained by defeating the Skeleton Captain or found in structures. They vary in rarity and value. Sell them to skull merchants or use them as decorations in your buildings.
Treasure chests can be found in structures or by using the skeleton's order. They are opened with a treasure key. After being emptied, they can also be used as decorations.
🏰Structures
Skull merchant house - it's home to a skull merchant. He can sell you skeleton's crew assignments and blunderbombs, and you can sell him trophy skulls.
Sea fortress - large structure in the ocean. Once you reach it, you will encounter waves of enemies, and once you defeat them, you will be able to unlock the core of the sea fortress to receive rewards. After a while, the fortress will recharge and you can start a new raid.
👑Pirate and captain's clothes
Pirates and captains may drop clothes. Dress up as a captain! (not all clothes are displayed correctly on the player, but most are correct).
💣Weapons
Blunderbombs are new throwable projectiles which are deal a lot of damage.

In this file, you can configure which treasures can be obtained from this fortress (inherited from AnyTreasureClass).
min_key_loot_value- the minimum value of the loot value of sea fortress key to spawn this particular treasure;value- this is the value that is removed from the loot value of the sea fortress key before the treasure spawns. It is also the equivalent of the value in emeralds;weight- The weight system is used when spawning a treasure. It is the same as when spawning any mob in Minecraft;max_count- The maximum amount of this particular treasure.
Example
{
"treasures_of_the_dead:villainous_skull": {
"min_key_loot_value": 40,
"value": 27,
"weight": 40,
"max_count": 100

}
}

These files affect the waves of enemies in the skeleton camps. The number at the end means the difficulty of the quest. More specifically, it is the data component difficulty from the nbt tags

Curly brackets with these parameters are REQUIRED;entities_count- includes curly braces with parametersminandmaxwhich indicate the number of enemies on wave.

0.8.3-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 30 июня 2026 г.
Bug fixes and new languages
Added new languages: Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian.
Small changes
- A buried treasure can now summon pirate skeletons when discovered;
- Skeleton pirates now get out of boats after a short time. They're getting smarter!;
- Added blunderbomb damage settings to .toml file.
Bugfixes
- Skeletons from camps now spawn in the center of the block, rather than in the corner, which allowed them to spawn in blocks and take damage;
- Skeletons from camps can no longer spawn below or above 5 blocks from the camp itself, which prevents them from spawning in gorges.
In the near future, I also plan to make a small update with bug fixes, settings, and languages for 1.20.1.
0.8.2-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 19 апреля 2026 г.
Added compatibility with Sable mod!!!
now you can place treasures items such as trophy skulls or treasure chests on a assembled constructions! Treasure-entities will be attached to this construction like frames and paintings!
0.8.1-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 4 марта 2026 г.
Changes:
- Now you can config HEALTH and DAMAGE of every skeleton in treasures_of_the_dead.toml config file;
- Shadow skeleton health 26 -> 22, damage 3 -> 4.5;
- Captain shadow skeleton health 70 -> 60, damage 4 -> 5.5;
- Every treasure now can be placed IN composters and cauldrons (awesome);
- Sea fortress core: removed nbt CooldownTicks, added nbt LastTimeActive, NextTimeActive.
- Now cooldown of the sea fortress core "ticking" while it is not loaded. Meaning you can clear the fortress, go far away for thousands blocks, return after 30 minutes and the sea fortress will be active again while you wasn't near.
0.8.0-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 15 февраля 2026 г.
SEA FORTRESSES
It's been a while since the last update. But it's finally here! Version 0.8.0 brings new features, mechanics, and systems! Let's take it one step at a time.
What's new?
Added Sea Fortress
A new structure that can be found in the ocean. This fortress will be hard to miss. But be careful! It will activate when you approach it. The skeletons that appear will give you a hard time in this new challenge. Defeat the captain and discover the secrets of this fortress!
Added Sea Fortress Core
This block is the heart of the fortress, responsible for summoning minions. It is also a vault of treasures. You can open it with the sea fortress key. Open the vault and get your hands on the wealth!
Added Sea Fortress Key
The key to the sea fortress has been added! Defeat the captain of the fortress to obtain this key. As you might have guessed, it opens the fortress's vault. By the way, the value of the rewards depends on the enemies you defeat. So defeat them all!
Other changes:
As I said, I've implemented several new systems. Thanks to them, you can now dress up skeletons however you like with the help of datapacks (useful for modpacks).
- In the data/treasures_of_the_dead/entities_equipment/ directory, you can set up outfit variations for all skeletons from the mod;
- The value of the Sea Fortress rewards can be changed in the directory data/treasures_of_the_dead/sea_fortress_loot/sea_fortress_loot.json;
- The skeletons got smarter and learned how to use crossbows;
- ll treasure entities can now be placed on half-blocks! (it looks beautiful).
About next updates!
Yes, it happens that updates are now rare. There is a chance to lose contact, so I want you to subscribe to my youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@MrWilfis/featured . Perhaps I will post videos about development and trailers there, but most likely only records like devblog. But I definitely do not finish over the mod so quickly. There will be more updates ahead and not one. So, wait, watch, and write to me on Discord if you want to discuss anything.
0.7.0a-1.20.1Релиз1.20.1 · 4 ноября 2025 г.
WOW, What is this?
This is a new update for 1.20.1!!!
Added all new features from mod neoforge version of 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 to forge
0.7.0-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 31 октября 2025 г.
What's new?
Added Skeleton Crew Camps!
Now, instead of the usual gathering of pirates and captains in their spawn locations, when using the Skeleton Crew Assignment, skeletons will spawn in camps. The camps will have multiple waves, and the last wave will feature skeleton captains. The camps vary in difficulty, and the number of waves, pirates, and captains depends on the difficulty. You can use datapacks to modify the difficulty of each wave. By the way, skeletons now appear in the world with special animations!
Added Braziers!
Braziers are a new decorative block added for the new upcoming large structure. So stay tuned!!! Braziers can be crafted from 2 gold (or iron) ingots, 4 gold (or iron) nuggets, and 1 coal (or soul sand).
Other changes:
- All entity-treasures are now placed facing you (instead of facing north, and then turning around);
- The Skull Merchant now sells a quest for a 2-3 difficulty skeleton crew at level 3 and a 4-5 difficulty crew at level 5. The trade at level 4 has been changed: you will receive 3 blunder bombs for 1 emerald;
- Balanced prices for all skulls at the skull merchant (random price variation reduced);
- Blunder bombs can now be dropped from the treasure chest;
- Added sound for blunder bombs when thrown;
- In the Treasures of the Dead tab, the summoning eggs have been moved to the very end;
0.6.0a-1.21.1Релиз1.21.1 · 31 июля 2025 г.
What's new?
Golden skeletons
These are a new type of pirate skeleton that moves more slowly and is harder to defeat. These guys are immune to most types of damage. Their weakness is that they rust when they get wet. Use this to your advantage to defeat them.
Blunder bombs
A new throwing item. Creates a medium explosion that deals damage to all mobs in the area. Can be created using bottles, iron nuggets, and gunpowder
Other changes
- The house of the skull merchant has been rebuilt;
- Skeleton crew assignment can now take you to the Golden Skeletons.
