BoatSoundUtils
by SaintGeorgee
BoatSoundUtils plays a sound when a boat bumps into something, and lets players change how those sounds behave on the client.
What it does
Sounds play when a boat taps a block or bumps another object. The loudness, pitch and playback speed of each sound change with the boat's speed, so a slow nudge and a hard hit do not sound alike. Players can upload their own sound files and use them in place of the built-in ones, and every setting is editable through the ModMenu screen. The mod is published for Fabric only, for the 1.21 – 1.21.11 range, with 1.21.11 as the latest file, and is released under the MIT License without being open source. Only the client needs it, so a server can run without it.
