BoatHandsFree

by AsOne2020

BoatHandsFree lifts the vanilla limits on what a player can do while rowing a boat, letting attacks, item use and interactions work from the boat.

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft blocks a seated player from striking, using items or touching entities and blocks while in a boat. This client-side mod drops those limits, so a rowing player can act on the world without stepping out. Installation needs only the client, and the server can run without it. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest builds for 26.3.

Key features

  1. Attacks from a boat

    A seated player can swing at mobs and players without stepping out of the rowing boat.

  2. Item use while rowing

    Items can be used and placed while the player stays in the boat, adding options to boat handling.

  3. Block and entity interaction

    Blocks and entities can be interacted with from the boat, removing the restriction on rowing players.

What the author says

BoatHandsFree is a Minecraft client-side mod that removes operation restrictions while rowing a boat. In vanilla Minecraft, players cannot attack, use items, or interact with entities and blocks while rowing a boat, which can lead to a negative gameplay experience.
