Build a Medieval Harbor Scene With Your Sailing Ships

The pack makes vanilla boats look like old-world sailing vessels, and the designs blend into standard gameplay. That makes them good set dressing for port towns and kingdom docks.

Laying out the harbor

1. Choose a sheltered bay or a calm section of coast with a sandy beach.

2. Build a wooden pier running out into the water. Leave open water lanes on either side so boats can sit alongside it.

3. Add the usual dock details: posts, fences as railings, barrels, lanterns and a small storehouse at the shore end.

Placing the ships

1. Craft boats from the wood types that suit your town. Each wood has its own color scheme, so you can mix several or keep one matching fleet.

2. Place each boat on the water right beside the pier. The tall masts and cloth sails need open sky above them, so avoid placing them under low roofs or overhangs.

3. Line a few boats along the sandy shoreline as well, parked together, for a busy fishing-village feel.

4. Step back to a hill or tower and check the skyline. The sails should read clearly against the water.

Keeping the scene intact

Boats are entities, so a stray hit or a passing player can move them. Check the harbor after visitors leave and nudge boats back into position.
