Colorful Boats

by BaGaJa

Colorful Boats lets players recolor boats, so a boat can be painted in a chosen color rather than the default wood look.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.4

What it does

Players pick a color in a Color UI, then right-click a boat to apply it. The chosen color stays on that boat, and a toggle controls whether the boat uses its own color. The mod is built for Forge 1.20.4 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. A single Forge file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-03-22 and covers only 1.20.4.

The mod can be switched off as a whole, in which case only boats that were right-clicked with the color applied keep it. Source code and an issue tracker are public, but the code is all rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Boat recoloring

    Lets players change the color of boats in the world, giving each boat a look other than the default.

  2. Color toggle

    A toggle decides whether a boat uses the color it was given or keeps its normal appearance.

  3. Color selection screen

    A Color UI opens so the player can choose the color before right-clicking a boat to apply it.

  4. Per-boat coloring

    Only boats that were right-clicked take the chosen color, so other boats in the same world are not affected.

How it compares

BoatOnTheLand is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 under the AFL-3.0 license, client and server. Colorful Boats covers only 1.20.4 and is all rights reserved, so it does not share a version range with either.
