boats

make a mod that makes the acceleration of boats faster by 0.5%, so it should be 1.005x the vanilla acceleration of boats

fabricClient1.21.1mod

Boats mod bumps boat acceleration by 0.5% while keeping everything else vanilla. Drop the jar into a Fabric 1.21.1 client (Fabric API required) and paddle as usual; the boost applies automatically in singleplayer or any server that permits the client mod.

Implementation details:

  • A client initializer logs startup under mod id boats.
  • A Mixin scales the X/Z velocity adjustment inside BoatEntity.updatePaddles, multiplying the paddle acceleration vector by 1.005 so every stroke accelerates slightly faster.

Notes and limits:

  • Dedicated servers without the mod still simulate vanilla boats; the boost only applies when the client-side code runs (including integrated servers).
  • The tweak only affects acceleration, not top speed or other boat behaviors. Future enhancements could add a configurable multiplier.
