Ocean Dungeons and Pirate Ships in When Dungeons Arise

Searches for the seven seas in When Dungeons Arise refer to the mod's fleet of massive ocean-faring surface dungeons, headed by the Undead Pirate Ship, Illager Corsair, and Illager Galley.

The Maritime Fleet of Dungeons

When Dungeons Arise populates expansive ocean biomes with enormous naval vessels and coastal outposts:

• The Undead Pirate Ship represents a major ocean surface dungeon, generating with a spacing interval of 50 chunks and separation of 45 chunks.
• The Illager Corsair sails open oceans as an aggressive illager warship, classified as a major structure with a relative spawn weight of two.
• The Illager Galley provides a second formidable naval encounter, featuring multi-tiered rowing decks and heavy broadside ballistas.
• Coastal waters also feature supporting structures including the Fishing Hut and towering Lighthouse outposts generated along rocky shorelines.
• These naval dungeons generate fully assembled on open water surfaces, visible from afar when navigating by boat or soaring with Elytra wings.

Tactical Boarding and Deck Combat

Assaulting an armed warship in open water demands tactical planning:

• Undead Pirate Ships are manned by dense crews of drowned, armored skeletons, and wither skeletons guarding the steering helm.
• Illager Corsairs and Galleys carry pillagers, vindicators, and evokers stationed along upper rigging lines and crow's nests.
• Approaching directly by wooden boat leaves players vulnerable to archer crossfire and falling trident strikes from upper decks.
• Grapple onto the stern or glide onto the uppermost mast using an Elytra to establish a secure fighting foothold away from main mob clusters.
• Place torches or light sources across dark lower decks as you clear each level to prevent fresh monster spawns from flanking your retreat.

Plundering Ship Cargo and Captains' Cabins

Fighting down through lower galleys unlocks substantial naval treasure:

• Lower cargo holds contain supply barrels filled with precious gems, ancient smithing gear, enchanted weaponry, and rare music records.
• Secret captain cabins behind the rudder house feature locked chests with high-tier enchanted books and gold reserves.
• Secure ship armories to dismantle working TNT dispensers and gather redstone contraption parts.
• Stripping decorative sails and colored banners provides extensive building wool for base construction projects.
