Waterworks
Waterworks is a maritime expansion for Sable that gives your ships a proper reason to exist, beyond looking pretty and immediately becoming someone else’s problem at sea.
Build sailing vessels with working masts, booms, sails, helms, wind controls, anchors, mooring lines, ballast tanks, floaters, and all the nautical bits you could reasonably need before discovering that yes, physics does in fact have opinions.
Features
- Functional sailing with wind, sail trim, tacking, jibing, and helm controls
- Custom triangle and square sails built from attachment points
- Ballast tanks and dive controls for submarines and very questionable engineering projects
- Floaters, weighted ballast, and sealed air pocket buoyancy
- Mooring lines, cleats, bollards, and anchors for docking without immediately drifting into the next postcode
- Wind compass for checking conditions before blaming the boat
- Sea mines, because apparently the ocean was not already hostile enough
- Wearables including life jackets, flamingos, and captain hats for maximum dignity
Planned Additions
Future updates are planned to expand Waterworks with more ship systems, more submarine functionality, improved navigation tools, additional decorative and functional maritime blocks, better compatibility, and whatever else we can convince Minecraft to tolerate before it files a formal complaint.
Expect more consoles, more machinery, more hazards, more polish, and more ways to make your vessel either majestic or deeply regrettable.

Credits
Massive thanks to all of our modellers and texturers for making Waterworks look the part. The code may make the boats move, but the artists are the reason they do not look like floating filing cabinets. (Long live the Iron Dev Block!)
