Deadly Boats
by JoraSH10
Deadly Boats changes what happens when a boat hits a living entity, so fast collisions can injure what they strike.
What it does
Collisions with a moving boat deal damage to living entities, and the target is pushed away by the impact. Boats behave more like heavy vehicles than harmless transport, so a fast crash matters. The mod runs on Fabric and is server-side only: players join without installing anything, and only the server needs it. Files exist for 1.21.11 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest build, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Collision damage
A boat moving fast enough deals impact damage to any living entity it strikes.
Knockback on impact
The struck target is pushed away from the boat when the collision happens.
Heavier boat behavior
Boats act like heavy moving vehicles rather than passive transport during collisions.

What the author says
Deadly Boats makes fast boat collisions dangerous. When a boat moves and hits a living entity, the target takes impact damage and gets pushed by the collision. This makes boats behave more like heavy moving vehicles instead of harmless transport.
