+# minecraft pirate ship mod - made *mostly* with mcreator
+### This Repository contains the Forge 1.18.2 version of the mod, 1.18.2 is the main version and it is ported forward and backwards from this version
+if you want to add mod compatibility and swashbucklers needs editing for it, clone the repo, add what you need and then request a merge, do not edit any existing classes, mcreator WILL write over those changes, this repo is for the main version of the mod specifically which means this is FORGE 1.18.2, for ports i will rewrite the added code so that it works on newer versions as well
