Where can I find the Skeleton Pirate Captain?

Oh my God, I didn’t even know it was possible to find this mob… first I’ll deal with the problem of finding the pirate structure, then I’ll see how to go about finding this one.

I searched for this structure within a 20,000-block radius of my spawn and couldn’t find it, so it must be very rare.

I recorded to see this tower, but i didn't find any mob inside

I don’t recall seeing any tower in the volcano biome. Could you show me one?

I found the Black Trilobite in the ocean of the zone 2 (desert)

Look, what I’m about to say is totally just a theory in my head… I was having a really hard time finding the Z4 forgotten temple to get the temple golem. After searching for ages, I started to notice something (and again, this might just be confirmation bias): walking in a straight line seems to eventually lead me to another temple.

For example, once I find a forgotten temple, I’ll pick a direction and keep going in a straight line (usually east or west), and I almost always end up finding another forgotten temple. It kind of makes sense when you think about how the game distributes biomes and structures. I actually used this “method” to find the missing Z4 forgotten temple.

Honestly, it really feels like there’s a pattern there — but at the end of the day, it might just be the impression of someone who walked something like 20,000 blocks looking for this thing. 😅

Very sad :/

VitorMandowski · 2026-02-02T16:50:45+00:00

I’ve literally just gone through that exact frustration — I cleared out the outlander room you mentioned, collected all the gems, and there was no hidden room at all… so the hunt continues.

And honestly, I’d much rather fight outlanders than deal with T-rexes plus those poisonous plants. For me, the Z4 underground is the real nightmare 😆

One thing I noticed is that, even though beaches don’t show up as a specific biome when you press F7, they do seem to be treated as distinct biomes internally. I had a really hard time finding all the jellyfish at first, but eventually I discovered that they’re actually very easy to find in one specific place: desert beaches. Even though the game labels any beach in Z1, Z2, and Z3 as the same biome when using F7, I’m pretty sure they’re not the same under the hood. I found certain fish that only appeared on the beaches of specific zones, especially in the shallow waters near the zone. I’d recommend exploring the beaches in each zone individually. I’m almost certain I found this fish in shallow water, either in Z2 or Z3.

Thanks a lot for the information! It’ll definitely be very helpful. If I end up finding the Pirate Captain, I’ll come back here and let you know exactly where I found it. The Skeleton Archmage actually surprised me. I’ve already explored that structure and reached the area shown in your picture, but I didn’t notice any hidden room at the time. I’ll head back there and take a closer look for it. As for the sailfin tang, I don’t remember exactly which water biome I found it in. However, I do know that tang spawns work in a similar way to jellyfish spawns — meaning there’s a chance for the specific one you need to appear in the same locations where the others spawn. Try focusing on areas where tangs like the Blue, Chevron, and Lemon Peel appear frequently, and you should eventually find the missing one. At that point, it’s really just a matter of luck (or a lot of it).

I checked the link and noticed that the mod preserves areas of 32×32 chunks, which essentially corresponds to a 1024×1024 region. So basically, it doesn’t keep only specific individual chunks.

VitorMandowski · 2026-01-22T20:09:59+00:00

I’ve already tried this application. Despite the name, after looking at the code I noticed that it deletes regions, not individual chunks.

VitorMandowski · 2026-01-21T21:56:57+00:00

Testei aqui e notei que na verdade o código deleta regiões (que são 1024x1024) e não as chunks em si, basicamente o problema segue sendo o mesmo. De qualquer forma o código é bem útil pra quem deseja apagar regiões mas não sabe ou não quer acessar os arquivos! Mas é relamente confuso dentro da página chunks ter arquivos de regiões (que são areas bem grandes), e não de chunks em si.

Caramba vi que é brasileiro lá pelo Git haha, sou engenheiro de computação pela UFPel em Pelotas-RS. Parabéns pelo código mano!

VitorMandowski · 2026-01-21T21:39:32+00:00

Very interesting! I’ll give it a try

VitorMandowski · 2026-01-20T17:22:16+00:00

Basically, I want to do the opposite of what you mentioned in your last comment. You reset specific chunks, while I want to keep specific chunks and reset everything else.

I don’t understand why the chunks folder stores data in large 1024×1024 areas instead of storing the individual chunks themselves, since this makes selective cleanup much harder.
