Raidable Boats spawns armed pirate boats that autonomously navigate the ocean. Each boat comes equipped with NPC cannon gunners, a helmsman at the wheel, locked loot containers, and map markers -- creating a naval PvE encounter that players can board, fight through, and plunder.
Boats are built from Copy Paste files, meaning any player-designed boat can become a raidable event. A profile system ties each boat design to a difficulty tier, controlling NPC health, cannon accuracy, loot quality, and rewards. Boats spawn on a timer or are maintained at a target count, cruise between waypoints, and despawn after a configurable lifetime or once the raid is completed.
The plugin handles the full lifecycle: ocean pathfinding, NPC combat (both cannon-mounted and dismounted gunfire), raid engagement tracking, loot milestone announcements, raid completion conditions, reward distribution, and a sinking sequence when the raid is over.
Features
- Profile system - Define multiple boat designs, each linked to a Copy Paste file and difficulty tier
- Autonomous navigation - Boats cruise between ocean waypoints, avoid shallow water, ice, monuments, and other raid boats
- Cannon NPC gunners - NPCs mount cannons and engage nearby player boats with adjustable accuracy and fire rate
- Helmsman NPC - An NPC steers the boat; killing the helmsman stops the boat
- Dismounted combat - Gunners and helmsmen can leave their stations to fight players who board the boat at close range
- Defender respawn - Killed NPCs respawn after a configurable delay
- Difficulty tiers - Easy, Medium, Hard, and Nightmare tiers that scale NPC health, loot, cannon stats, and rewards
- Loot generation - Use loot from the Copy Paste file or generate it from configurable loot tables with drop chances
- Code-locked doors and containers - Doors and storage containers can be randomly locked with code locks
- Raid completion tracking - Configurable conditions based on loot percentage looted and/or all defenders killed
- Map markers - Moving vending machine markers with difficulty-colored radius indicators
- Reward integration - Distribute Economics currency and Server Rewards points on completion
- Scheduled and maintained spawning - Spawn on a timer, maintain a target count, or both
- Anti-exploit protections - Block building, entity pickup, steering, sail/anchor/engine/cannon interaction on raid boats
- Floating loot on sink - Remaining loot drops into the water when the boat sinks
- Debug visualization - Admin draw commands showing navigation paths, waypoints, speed, and ocean spawn nodes

Boat Profiles
Profiles are the core of the plugin. Each profile links a Copy Paste file to a difficulty tier and defines how the boat behaves as a raid event.How Profiles Work
Profile files are stored inoxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/. Each .json file in this folder is loaded as a profile. On first run, a default profile is created automatically.A boat design is built in-game using the player boat system (hull, cannons, storage, doors, steering wheel, engine, sails), then saved with Copy Paste. The profile points to that saved file.
Profile Structure

Enabled-- Whether this profile is available for spawningProfile Name-- Unique identifier used in commands and loggingCopyPaste File Name-- Name of the Copy Paste file inoxide/data/copypaste/(without extension). The plugin validates this file exists on loadDifficulty Tier-- Must match one of the tier names defined in the config (e.g.,"Easy","Medium","Hard","Nightmare")Protection Radius-- Radius in meters around the boat where player building is blockedSpawn Weight-- Relative weight for random selection. A weight of3.0is three times more likely to be chosen than1.0Loot Source-- "CopyPaste" uses whatever inventory was saved in the paste file. "Plugin" clears containers and fills them from the loot tableCustom Loot Table-- When set and loot source is"Plugin", overrides the default loot table from the config. Set tonullto use the defaultExtra CopyPaste Paste Options-- Additional key-value pairs passed to Copy Paste (e.g.,"deployables": "false")
Boat Design Requirements
The pasted boat must include:- A
PlayerBoatentity (the hull) - A
SmallEngine(for movement) - A
SteeringWheel(for the helmsman NPC)
- One or more
Cannonentities (for NPC gunners) - One or more
StorageContainerentities (for loot)
Pre-configured Starter Profiles
The plugin ships with a single default profile on first install. For a ready-to-go fleet covering all four difficulty tiers, a set of pre-configured profiles and their matching Copy Paste files are available in the Starter Boat Profiles & CopyPaste Files thread.The starter pack includes four boats:
| Profile | Difficulty | Spawn Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skiff | Easy | 3.0 | Small, lightly armed boat. Spawns most frequently |
| Brigantine | Medium | 2.0 | Mid-size vessel with moderate defenses |
| Galleon | Hard | 1.0 | Large, well-armed ship |
| Man-o-War | Nightmare | 0.5 | Heavily fortified warship. Rare spawn |
- Download the four profile files (
skiff.json,brigantine.json,galleon.json,man-o-war.json) and place them inoxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/ - Download the four Copy Paste files (
raidboat_skiff.json,raidboat_brigantine.json,raidboat_galleon.json,raidboat_manowar.json) and place them inoxide/data/copypaste/ - Run
rb.reloadin the server console to load the new profiles
Creating Multiple Profiles
Create additional.json files in the profiles folder. For example, a fleet with varying difficulty:oxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/skiff.json-- Easy tier, small boat, high spawn weightoxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/brigantine.json-- Medium tier, medium boatoxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/galleon.json-- Hard tier, large boat, low spawn weightoxide/data/RaidableBoats/Profiles/man-o-war.json-- Nightmare tier, heavily armed
rb.reload to load them without restarting.Configuration

Raid Lifecycle
Understanding the boat's state progression helps with configuration and troubleshooting.- Spawning -- The Copy Paste file is pasted, the boat is validated (engine, steering wheel, cannons, containers), NPCs are spawned and mounted, loot is populated, code locks are applied, and map markers are created.
- Cruising -- The boat autonomously navigates between ocean waypoints. The helmsman steers, sails are raised, and engines run. Cannons scan for nearby player boats.
- Engaged -- Triggered when a player boards the boat, damages it, loots a container, or hits an NPC with a cannonball. The inactive despawn timer starts. Raiders receive progress messages (defender kills, loot milestones). Dismounted combat activates if players are within range.
- Completing -- The raid completion conditions are met. Rewards are distributed to all raiders. Statistics are updated.
- Sinking -- All NPCs are killed, the boat is flagged as broken, buoyancy is reduced, and the boat slowly sinks over 60 seconds. Floating loot is dropped if configured.
- Despawning -- The boat is removed entirely (due to lifetime expiry, inactive timeout, or admin command). All associated entities, NPCs, markers, and timers are cleaned up.
