# Valkyrien Pirates
\nThis mod adds pirate ships to your world which sail of their own accord. These ships come with a fearsome crew, and cannons which will shoot at your ship. Killing the pirates will disarm the cannons, leaving the ship and its booty free for you to plunder!!<\/p>\n
The fabric version of this mod requires: Valkyrien Skies and Eureka<\/p>\n
The forge version currently utilises Sinytra as a compatibility layer! You will also need Forgified Fabric API and Kotlin For Forge as well as Valkyrien Skies and Eureka<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Ships
\nPirate ships generate as structures and are assembled by a Motion Invoking Block (unobtainable in survival) once within simulation distance. This block will drive the ship in a pattern – by default in a circle.<\/p>\n
Pirates that spawn on ships have a special property: some pirates are designated as cannoneers or helmsmen. Killing a cannoneer will stop its cannon from auto-firing, and killing the helmsman will replace the ship’s Motion Invoking Block with Spruce Planks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
## Cannons
\nTo combat these pirate ships, you will likely want to bring your own cannons! Cannons can be created by placing a **Cannon Activator Block** behind a Dispenser. This will convert the dispenser into a **Cannon Dispenser**, letting you fire **Cannonballs** from it. To shoot a cannon, power the Cannon Activator Block (back of cannon) with a redstone signal.<\/p>\n
## Crafting
\nThe Cannon Activator Block can be crafted with the same recipe as a Dispenser, except with Gunpowder instead of Redstone Dust.<\/p>\n
Cannonballs can be crafted with Blaze Powder, Gunpowder, and an Iron Ingot in any pattern.<\/p>\n
## Shipwrecks
\nShipwreck structures can be found throughout the world that contain treasure similar to what you can find on pirate ships.<\/p>\n
