Don't Make Me Turn This Boat Around

by Mrbysco

Don't Make Me Turn This Boat Around lets a player turn a boat in place so it faces the direction it is traveling.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 26.1.2

What it does

Boats in vanilla Minecraft can end up facing the wrong way after a trip. This mod adds a rotation that corrects the facing direction of a boat, so the player can steer forward without turning the boat around by hand. It needs Fabric API on Fabric. Both client and server need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.16.5 – 26.1.2.

Key features

  1. Boat facing control

    A boat can be rotated to face the direction the player wants to sail, without a full turn.

  2. Better boat alignment

    Boats stay aligned with the direction they are facing, which keeps long trips on water easier to follow.

  3. Compass structure hint

    The mod carries an earlier version that added a compass tied to a vanilla structure.
