Excalibur Small Ships Support Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why do my ships still have their default textures after activating the pack?
Check your resource pack load order in the in-game menu. The Excalibur Small Ships Support Resource Pack must be placed in the active column and positioned higher than any other pack that modifies the Small Ships mod.
What is the correct load order when using this with the main Excalibur texture pack?
Place this support pack directly above the main Excalibur resource pack in your active resource packs list. This ensures the specific ship overrides load on top of the base medieval textures.
Does this pack add the boats and cannons to my game on its own?
No, this is a purely visual resource pack and does not add any new items or entities by itself. You must have the Small Ships mod active in your game for the vessels, cannons, and ship items to exist.
Can I use this resource pack without the main Excalibur texture pack?
Yes, the ship reskins will still function on their own, giving your vessels a dark medieval look. However, using it alongside the base Excalibur pack is recommended so the ships blend naturally with surrounding wooden blocks and structures.
Which parts of the Small Ships mod get retextured by this pack?
The pack updates the wood and sail textures on all vessels, reworks cannons and ship decorations, and changes all related inventory item icons. Everything is restyled to match the rustic aesthetic of Excalibur.
Why do the ship items in my inventory look normal instead of medieval?
If the 3D ships in the world are retextured but the inventory icons are not, another resource pack or UI pack placed higher in your load order is overriding the item textures. Move this support pack to the very top of your active list and reload.
Will activating or removing this pack break my existing ships in my world?
No, because this only changes visual textures and icons on the client side. You can enable, disable, or reorder the pack at any time without corrupting your placed vessels, cannons, or inventory contents.
Does this pack change how the ships sail or how the cannons work?
No, all movement speeds, storage capacities, and cannon mechanics remain controlled entirely by the Small Ships mod. This pack only alters the visual appearance of the models and icons.
Do I need to put this resource pack on my multiplayer server?
Resource packs are client-side, so you only need it activated in your own game settings to see the medieval ship textures on any server running the Small Ships mod. Other players will only see the reskinned vessels if they also have the pack active on their clients.
How do I fix missing purple and black textures on my ship sails or cannons?
Missing texture grids usually happen when the resource pack fails to reload properly or conflicts with another mod's rendering. Press F3 + T in-game to force a complete reload of your resource packs, and ensure this pack is at the top of your active list.
