Enchantable Boat
by Genzyuro
Enchantable Boat lets players put new enchantments on boats, changing how a boat moves, carries cargo and behaves on water, ice and in the air.
What it does
The mod adds nine enchantment types that can be applied to boats. Movement speed on water rises 20% per level, while speed on ground, except ice blocks, rises 100% per level and level 3 reaches the same speed as level 3 on water. Falling in the air slows descent, and a holding-sprint enchantment speeds the boat up while the sprint key is held. A thunderstorm also raises speed at higher levels, and the effects apply anywhere on water, ground, air or ice.
Boats gain new options too: the chest capacity of a boat with a chest increases with the enchantment level, and the boat can climb blocks, entities and other obstacles, with level 2 raising climbing speed 50% above level 1. Some enchantments carry negative effects, such as reducing water speed by 60% with a 10% chance of the boat sinking once for 6 seconds, and boats with enchanted effects look flooded. Enchantments stack with each other, and new types are planned for future updates.
Enchantable Boat is compatible with Enchantment Descriptions and offers English and Japanese text. Enchantments are granted through experience: applying one costs 3 experience points at once, or 1 experience point every 10 ticks. A player without enough experience cannot receive the effect. Lower-level enchantments are more likely to be granted when attempting them, and levels 2, 3 and 5 cannot be obtained from an Enchanting Table as an Enchanted Book.
Key features
Nine enchantment types
Nine enchantments change boat speed, chest capacity, climbing, flight-style descent and sinking behavior.
Speed on every surface
Ground, water, ice and air each get their own speed effects, and sprinting or thunderstorms add more.
Chest capacity and climbing
Boats with chests carry more items per level, and enchanted boats can climb over blocks and entities.
Experience-based application
Applying enchantments costs experience at a set rate, and players without enough cannot receive the effect.
