I. Two mainlines
1. Sailing
Shipbuilding → Sailing → Pirate Ship (Naval Combat) → Islands
Shipbuilding and Sailing:
-
- Ships can be crafted in Machine Workshop or modified in real-time by placing/removing blocks on the ship.
-
The buoyancy of the ship is determined by the weight of the ship’s blocks, and additional buoyancy blocks can be added to increase buoyancy.
-
A ship’s rudder is added to control the direction of navigation, and a new turning method is introduced. The rudder is the core block of the ship, and once destroyed, it signifies damage to the entire ship.
-
Thrusters are added to consume fuel and provide propulsion.
-
Any block/part of the ship can be accurately destroyed, and the addition of ranged artillery (made of coconuts) and pirate ships enhances the naval combat experience.
-
A shipwreck feature is added, where sunken ships become structures on the seabed.
Pirate Ship (Mob)
Only appears in the deep sea and attacks players on sight. It has a ranged attack and explodes upon destruction, causing pirate crew members to abandon ship. It does not attack other aquatic creatures. There are three types: small pirate ship, medium pirate ship, and large pirate ship (which can summon bomb boats).
Island
There are three types of islands: deserted islands, red clay islands and coral islands.
There are various buildings for exploration on the islands, such as a fishing village on the beach.
The lighthouse is an important landmark on the seaside, and there is a broken sea god statue inside. By using pearls to repair the statue, you can obtain the protection of the sea god. Pearls can be obtained from shells.
Random NPC buildings will appear on the islands, such as pirate merchants and coral merchants, selling different things. There is a pirate treasure on the deserted island. Before trading with the pirate merchant, make sure to check your equipment, as pirates will assess you first and only trade with those strong enough. If the player is not strong enough, the pirates will simply rob you.
2. Treasure Hunting
Fishing Village → Shallow Sea → Deep Sea → Sunken Ships
Fishing Village
The villagers in Fishing Village spontaneously gather to fish, and hunger is added as a gameplay element (if the villagers go without food for too long, they will die of starvation). The villagers dry the fish they catch into jerky, which is an important food source by the sea. Each village has a legendary angler, from whom you can exchange a golden fish for a more powerful fishing rod blueprint.
II. New Gameplay
1. Treasure Map
You can obtain treasure maps through Fishing and Ruins.
After unfolding the treasure map, you can see the treasure mark (usually located underwater or on an island), which shows the flat position coordinates, but the height is unknown. The mark can be added to the Mini-map and tracked.
-
- Treasure that is buried (but has a mark) and needs to be found
-
Treasure guarded by monsters
-
Treasure that triggers a mechanism
2. Fishing
Fishing is only available when you are not in swimming state and in the Drifting, Shallow Sea, or Deep Sea, with a water depth ≥ 2 blocks. When a fish is caught, you will perform a motion of raising the fish above your head with both hands, and the specific item obtained depends on the ecology and fishing rod used, but the exact content is uncertain.
-
- Operation method: Charge the fishing rod, Wait, Lift the rod, and Get the reward.
-
Fishing failure: the character moves more than 1 block, switches the item.
3. Drift Bottle
Crafting drift bottles
-
- Change the item type of Small Glass Bottle to block type (can be placed on the ground) and become [Small Glass Bottle Block].
-
Hold the [Leather Scroll with letters written on] in your hand and tap use/right-click to load it into the [Small Glass Bottle Block], which becomes the [Drift Bottle Block].
-
Smash the [Drift Bottle block], pick it up in your pack, and it will become a [Drift Bottle] item.
Throw it out
-
- Hold down the Use/Right-click button to charge up, then throw the Drift Bottle into the water in the shallow sea, deep sea, river, or beach, and it will disappear.
-
Throw it into other water, it will float on the surface.
-
The bottle will break when thrown onto the block and the scroll will drop.
Obtaining from others
-
- There is a chance to obtain a Drift Bottle from a distant place when fishing.
-
It could be a system-generated message, or it could be from a player.
The Leather Scroll has added an anonymous function.
4. Transform
When using the Ocean Spirit Stones to transform into an Ocean Spirit Guard, the player gains access to some of the guard’s attack skills, including a range water spray attack and a melee attack. Other Ocean Spirit Guards will not attack the player in their transformed state.
Attributes of the Ocean Spirit Guard: HP, attack, and movement speed.
The characteristic of the Ocean Spirit Guard: losing HP continually when leaving the water.
III. Newly Added
1. Animals & Plants
Gugufish
The original gugufish has been redesigned, with three different types of small fish added. The design now includes a liking for light and a fluorescent state (which lasts for 60 seconds after consuming fluorescent algae). Additionally, a schooling behavior has been added (ordinary gugufish follow their own kind as the leader, while fluorescent gugufish follow other fish/players/vehicles as their leader.) When attacked, they will flee.
Flying Fish
Flying fish mainly inhabit the ocean’s surface and occasionally glide in the air for a period of time. When there are sharks/devilfish/rays/lanternfish/ships/players without diving suits nearby, or when they are attacked, they will glide away to escape. During storms, they will continuously leap out of the water.
Crab
Crabs are naturally generated on the beach and shallow sea, and they will search for hiding places among aquatic plants, shells, and rocks. They can climb one grid on a vertical surface and can move both on land and in water. When attacked by humanoid creatures, they will cling onto the creature’s hands with their pincers, which can be shaken off by using the [Use] key.
Seagull
Seagulls are flying creatures that spawn on the beach, shallow sea and deep sea. They will look for blocks to rest on and steal food from the player’s hand. If the food is french fries, they will even laugh nearby. They will sound the alarm before an impending storm, and seek shelter on ships/beaches during storms. They make different calls depending on the type of interaction and may follow ships in some cases. When fishing, they may swoop in and steal the fish on the float. They may also grab flying fish in the ocean or eat fish that villagers have dried.
Devilfish
Devilfish spawn at a depth of 12-42 blocks in the deep sea environment and will launch an attack actively. They have poisonous spines on their tails, which makes them quite dangerous, but they have no resistance to smooth block surfaces. They will look for the side of the block to rest on after 18:00 in-game time and wake up at 6:00 (they can also be awakened by nearby creatures).
Fluorescent Algae Fish
Fluorescent algae fish spawn at a depth of 12-22 blocks in the deep sea environment and will launch an attack actively. They lurk in the sedimentary rocks of the deep sea floor, only revealing the light above the head disguised as fluorescent algae to trap prey. When surrounding blocks are destroyed or the trap is successful, they will take the initiative to get out of the lurking state.
Shark
When players explore wrecks/kill creatures in the ocean/dig blocks/sail a certain number of times (the accumulation of the buff Sea God’s Protection slows down), sharks may spawn anywhere. It is dangerous because they will attack player actively, swallowing player and leather raft in one gulp. Therefore, it is impossible to sail by boat. When the player is at the surface of the sea, they will show their dorsal fin and swim around before attacking. They will chew the block between the player and themselves (time depending on the hardness of the block), and they will also destroy ships. They will continuously track the target until the target dies or is out of the ocean.
Jellyfish
Jellyfish are bioluminescent creatures found in the ocean that will actively attack and sting humans with their tentacles, which can be very painful. They are typically blue in color, but will turn red when under attack. During storms, they will dive deep into the ocean and their bioluminescent range can increase. If caught while fishing, they can also deliver an electric shock to the player handling them.
When hit by seahorse or air cannon, they will inflate and eventually become inflated jellyfish that float to the surface. Stepping on it from above will cause a player to be bounced up and release the gas inside the jellyfish. After the gas dissipates, the jellyfish will return to their normal form. When other creatures touch the inflated Jellyfish, they will be bounced up 2 blocks high.
When multiple jellyfish are together, they will randomly follow a certain one and swim in a formation.
Drop: Jellyfish Core(can be used to feed and tame seahorse)
Seahorse
They spawn in the shallow sea environment and come in two types: ordinary seahorses and chubby seahorses. When attacked, they will retaliate. Seahorses will change color when they are on coral, seaweed, or kelp. They will also turn invisible for 30 seconds when there are jellyfish, sharks, players, or bosses nearby. They will reappear once the danger has passed. Seahorses can be tamed using jellyfish drops and used as mounts in the water, allowing players to speed through the water at a fast pace. Chubby seahorses will produce baby seahorses when fed jellyfish core (the baby seahorses will grow up, follow the seahorse, and enter/exit the brood pouch).
Drop allochroic glands (used to make red/yellow/blue/white dyes).
Coconut Tree
Using triangular blocks, coconut rees can grow in two forms: straight and curved. They have a characteristic of growing towards water and can generate on the soil of the beach, red clay coast and island coast, grass blocks and sand blocks. When planted on red clay, they may mutate and their leaves turn red, and the function of the coconuts changes as well. Digging the trunk of the coconut tree will cause coconuts to fall off. If the coconuts fall on a creature, they will cause damage and grant the creature a ” unconsciousness” buff. If the creature is a player, it will also trigger a setting to skip the night; If the creature is a child villager, it will also trigger a setting where they are carried home by adult villagers.
Product: coconut(used to restore stamina), mutated coconut(used to make coconut shell which is placed in thrower for naval battle)
Fluorescent Algae
Fluorescent Algae only grow in the deep sea and naturally emit light. When destroyed, they will become【Unused Glow Stick】that can be easily activated by bending. When held, they can expand the underwater field of view, and when thrown, they can create a light source that has a limited duration. Once the durability is depleted, the stick will extinguish. Discarded glow sticks that have been extinguished or damaged will become【Used Glow Sticks】, which are needed for fluorescent algae to reproduce. When placed on top of【Contourites】, they will grow into new sprouts that mature over time.
Coral
There are four types of coral, each with two colors during their lifetime. Using the item coral polyp, players can propagate them on underwater reefs or yellow sand. When mature, coral will transform the surrounding yellow sand into reef and change the color of the reef underneath. They will catch albino after dehydration and lose their original color. Players can put them back into water and fill in new coral polyp to revitalize them. Living corals can stay vitalized when placed directly on red clay or red sand blocks.
Giant Scallop (Animal/Plant).
Giant Scallops spawn on the beach, shallow seabed, and in water, occupying a space of 2*2*1. They will randomly open and close when underwater, with open scallops potentially containing pearls or living crabs, or nothing at all. To force a closed scallop to open, players can light a bonfire nearby on land.
Fern
Ferns,a one-grid tall plant, only appear on red clay islands. Some of them will grow thorn balls that can be burned.
Trait: When a creature comes into contact with a thorn ball fern, the thorn ball will detach from the plant and stick to the creature, and the creature can throw collected thorn balls at other creatures. A player can have a maximum of five thorn balls stuck to them. Sitting on a chair or sleeping will cause players to be bounced and take damage if they have any thorn balls attached to them, and colliding with other creatures or blocks will also have the same effect.
-
- Jumping continuously can shake off the thorn balls on the body.
-
Running into other creatures can transfer thorn balls to them.
-
When soaked in liquid, thorn balls will detach from the creature’s body and become dropped items that can be picked up.
-
When on fire, thorn balls will disappear.
Equinox Pineapple
Red Clay specialty, the fruit (pineapple) is a missile that will explode after throwing, causing nearby creatures to lose control and become aggressive (attacking nearby creatures). The flower can be placed in a vase or used to craft Corolla of Luck (resists fatal damage, being destroyed upon activation).
2. Weather
Storm, Rainbow
Add wind direction setting (four directions: east, south, west and north);

Mn Nodule Ore
It involves a series of items such as diving equipment and hard glass block.
Black Curd
New rules are added. Hot springs can be formed through special arrangements. Users can also follow the rules to place black curbs. The hot springs will automatically erupt at certain intervals. During each eruption, creatures and drops in the center will be pushed out 5 blocks away from the spring.
Reef
There are two forms of reefs, dry and wet. Coral can be planted on them, and they will change color based on the color of the coral that grows on them. If they come into contact with lava, they will turn into rock.
