Frequently asked questions

Where do I find Hullbacks?
Hullbacks spawn in deep ocean biomes, typically in darker waters away from the surface. You'll need to dive deep and explore to locate these massive creatures swimming around.
How do I tame a Hullback?
Use an Axe and Shears on the wild Hullback to clean off the gunk covering its body until it's fully cleaned. Once cleaned, the creature becomes tamed and ready for a Saddle.
What do I need to turn a Hullback into a ship?
Place a Saddle on your tamed Hullback, then upgrade it with wooden planks to transform it into a rideable living ship. You'll also need to craft a Helm to steer it properly.
How do I steer my Hullback ship?
Craft and place a Helm on your ship, then interact with it while riding to control direction and movement. The Helm also lets you raise or lower your anchor directly.
Can I store items on my ship?
Yes, press your inventory key while riding the Hullback to open its inventory and store items safely in the ship's cargo space.
How do the cannons work?
Attach cannons to your ship using widgets found in buried treasure and sunken ships, then press jump while riding to fire them using gunpowder as ammunition.
What are the barnacle blocks for?
Barnacle blocks can be stacked up to nine blocks high on your ship to create different custom sounds, letting you personalize your vessel's audio.
How do I customize my ship's sails?
Attach banners to your sails to add custom designs and colors, or wash them off with a water bucket if you want to change the look.
Do I need to feed or care for my Hullback?
The mod doesn't require feeding or constant maintenance once tamed—your Hullback is a gentle giant that stays with you as your living ship.
Why is my ship moving slowly or not responding?
Make sure you have a Helm properly installed and that you're riding the Hullback directly; also check that your anchor isn't lowered, as it will slow or stop movement.
