Boats and Beeps
by will_bl
Boats and Beeps lets players upgrade boats with a dedicated table, adding length, speed and special boat types on the water.
What it does
Players craft an Upgrade Table and use it to lengthen boats, add more boats to a single upgrade and build boats that carry different effects. Upgradeable larger boats can be extended beyond the vanilla size, and a boat over 100 blocks long is also possible. Right-clicking with coal makes the boat move, and furnaces placed on the boat increase its speed. A chest on the boat stores items.
Upgrades change how a boat behaves. Blue Ice makes the boat slippery and quick on land, Sea Lantern makes it much faster over water, and End Rod lets the boat fly, which needs care to stay fast enough. Banner and head variants and two hidden boats are also included, and infinite boats can be made. The mod is built for Fabric 1.17.1 and is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open and the issue tracker is public.
Installation is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published only for Fabric 1.17.1, with version 1.0.1 as the latest file, first published 2021-07-12 and last updated the same day.
