What it does

While a player is in a boat, a heads-up display reports useful sailing details such as drift angle, speed and the drift camera state. The changes aim to make boating feel smoother and to make sailing with the vanilla boat easier. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. Only the client needs the mod, and it is released under The Unlicense, so it is open source. Builds cover 1.17.1 – 26.3 on Fabric and Quilt.

Key features

  1. Boating display

    A HUD shows drift angle, speed and drift camera information while the player is on a boat.

  2. Smoother sailing

    The mod makes boating feel smoother, with a style meant to help the player sail faster.

  3. Vanilla friendly

    Sailing uses the standard boat, so the extra information is added without new vehicles.
