Be aware of incorrect displaying
So then, your pixelship has equipped with custom embroidery and pennant. It will work on any server with the same custom embroidery and pennants (corresponding *.png files) uploaded! Otherwise they show up as question mark.
The picture gives an example how they appear actually "on sea".
There's no matter in Single Player offline-mode anyway.

Download and unrar the entire bunch windward-symbols-sails.rar on your local HDD.
MS Windows --> <drive>/%userprofile%/My Documents/Windward/Pennants
Linux --> <drive>/home/$USER/Documents/Windward/Pennants
rar-file size 390 kB
✅ Chat box command/upload Symbols/name.png ← will upload to your server folder /root/Windward/Symbols/name.png (e.g. Zoll RGB.png).
By default the texture is treated as a mask where alpha channel determines which sail color affects the texture.
Have the texture filename end with “RGB” if you want it to be interpreted as a color texture instead.
For example “Some Symbol RGB.png”.
Ideal texture size is H128 x W128 pixels, with the left side attached to the mainmast.
✅ Chat box command
/createSymbol name → Creates a new symbol item that you can then give to other players.
The “name” should match a texture in the Symbols folder on the server (don’t include the PNG extension!).
You can upload a local PNG to your dedicated game server using the /upload command. Admin-only!
Works in Singleplayer mode as well.
