Boatspeed
by JoraSH10
Boatspeed is a Fabric server mod that changes how quickly boats accelerate, through a single server command.
What it does
Boatspeed sets an acceleration multiplier for boats. A larger value makes boats gain speed faster, and a smaller value makes them accelerate more gradually. The setting is changed with the boatspeed command, and nothing else in the game is altered. On a server, the mod can shorten travel across rivers, open oceans, ice roads and long routes between hubs. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Acceleration multiplier
A single value controls how fast boats gain speed, scaling their acceleration up or down.
Boatspeed command
The boatspeed command changes the multiplier while the server is running, without a restart.
Travel on any water
Rivers, oceans and ice tracks all benefit, since the change applies to boats generally.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

How it compares
ViewBoatItems is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11 that shows boat contents, and it does not change acceleration. Player Boat Leash is server-side only for 1.21.11 and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is the closest server-side option to Boatspeed but covers a different function.

What the author says
Boat Speed lets you control how quickly boats accelerate. The mod adds the /boatspeed command. This command changes the boat acceleration multiplier: bigger values make boats gain speed faster, and smaller values make them accelerate more slowly.
