BannerShips is a mod that replaces the vanilla boat with a fully-featured ship that offers several different features.
Here are some of them:
-Built-in chest - a single chest with a unique background and special slots.
-Health - the ship has its own health, which is displayed in the chest.
-Sail change - the sail on the ship can be changed to match your banner pattern.
-Cannon(Culverin) - a firearm can be installed on the ship.
-Health restoration - the ships health can be restored using frame boards.

These features are accessed through special slots in the chest.

Items added by the mod:
Hand culverin (рус. "Ручница") - a hand-held firearm, also needed for crafting the ship cannon.

To fire it, you must have gunpowder in your inventory. 1 shot = 1 gunpowder.

Frame boards - a different type of plank, used for crafting the ship cannon and repairing the ship.
Place the boards in the special slot in the ships chest labeled HP+. 1 board = 1 HP.

Culverin (рус. "Пищаль") - This can only be used on the ship. To use it, place it in the special slot in the ships chest labeled Fore. This cannon has 4 states:
-State 1: Default state, no wick, not yet interacted with.
-State 2: Right-click the cannon while holding gunpowder or a fire charge in your hand. The Culverin is now loaded and its wick appears. (The fire charge is more powerful than gunpowder and also ignites the impact area.)
-State 3: Right-click the cannon again. The wick ignites. The cannon is now in aiming mode. To fire, you must select a target ahead. If you do not select a target within 10 seconds, the Culverin will automatically fire straight ahead.
-State 4: Reloading, which takes 10 seconds. After this, the Culverin can be used again.

Vessels - There are 3 types: Crimson Vessel, Classic Vessel, and Savanna Vessel.

-The Crimson Vessel is compatible with crimson, cherry, and mangrove planks.
-The Classic Vessel is compatible with oak, bamboo, birch, and jungle planks.
-The Savanna Vessel is compatible with acacia, dark oak, and spruce planks.

Flags - To change the flag, place it in the special slot in the ships chest labeled Flag.
