Valkyrian Pirates Custom Items not loading

[violet fossil]

Not sure if this is the place to put this, but im hoping someone with experience with the mod will respond.

Im using the valkyrian pirates mod ( https://modrinth.com/mod/valkyrien-pirates ) and It says in the changelog under version 1.8.5 that you can give custom items to the pirates that spawn with the ships. Im not sure how to do this.

I checked the config, and copied from my config is:

#Custom crew equipments- mainhand,offhand,helmet,chest,leggings,boots
custom-crew-equipment-0=musketmod:musket,0,0,0,0,0
custom-crew-equipment-1=minecraft:iron_sword,0,0,0,0,0
custom-crew-equipment-2=musketmod:musket,0,0,0,0,0
custom-crew-equipment-3=musketmod:pistol,0,0,0,0,0

as you can see, i have changed the main hand item to both modded and vanilla items, however when i load into a world, all of the mobs still spawn with their default bows. I have the revevant mods installed, I have saved the changes, tried closing the game and restarting, and reloging into the world. Nothing works. They still have the default bows. looking for anyone with experience with this mod to help, as there is almost nothing to go on from any other source that I could find.
Thanks,
WB

@abstract yoke any idea?

Have you actually enabled the custom items option in the config?

To spawn custom crew also you need to use the debug stick to modify the crew spawner block in a world with live world off

I may be stupid, but I don't know how to do that.

Also, you can't use config to just change crews, the custom pirates are only for ships you make to add to the world, not the default ones

[violet fossil]

oh

[abstract yoke]

Gamerule piratesLiveWorld false, spawn a ship, use the debug stick on the crew spawners, save the ship, make a datapack, add it to a world

[violet fossil]

We have some one on our discord server written by one of our members but there isn't any one officially. I'll see if I can copy paste it here

Yeah I can't copy it without nitro

#1348045665279676436 message it's here and I'll get you a discord link for it if you would like
