NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Waterwheels that power a Create contraption can now also turn paddlewheels, so a boat or a physics contraption moves through water under its own drive. The mod works with Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable, which must all be installed alongside it. Client and server both need the mod, since the physics and boat behavior run on each side. Files are published only for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 1.0.0.7 as the latest alpha file, released 2026-06-23. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Waterwheel-driven paddlewheels

    A waterwheel connected to a paddlewheel turns it, which pushes boats and physics contraptions through water.

  2. Boat and contraption propulsion

    Paddlewheels can be fitted to boats or to moving physics contraptions built with Create Aeronautics.

  3. Thrust and speed settings

    Thrust depends on the waterwheel's speed, and the config file lets server owners adjust the wheel sizes and their tuning.
