Circuit Painter
by ppercree
Circuit Painter lets players draw ice boat circuits by placing paint blocks, with a server required and the client optional.
What it does
Players paint their own ice boat circuits in the world and set the boat's path with paint and summon commands, using birch boats and blue ice blocks. The mod gives control over circuit size and ice type, which are changed through its configuration values.
The server must run the mod, while a client can join without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.11 and 26.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Painted ice boat circuits
Players draw their own circuit paths on the ice, shaping how boats move across a track.
Paint and summon commands
Boats are summoned with a birch boat command and steered by paint placed under them, with blue ice blocks forming the surface.
Adjustable circuit settings
Size and ice type of a circuit can be changed through configuration values, so one track design can be tuned for each world.
