Ez Boats

by TheRealRaphael

Ez Boats lets players board a boat quickly with a single Shift key bind, without walking up to it precisely.

FabricClient and serverMIT License26.1.2

What it does

Holding Shift near a boat mounts the player into it. The mod works within a radius of about five blocks, so a player does not need to line up the cursor on the hull. An optional safety check requires a specific item, such as a Totem of Undying held in the hand, before the automatic mounting triggers, which prevents accidental boarding. The mod uses Fabric API and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 26.1.2, with 1.0.3 as the latest file, under the MIT License, and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Quick boarding

    A Shift key bind enters the nearest boat from a short distance, without precise aiming.

  2. Smart detection

    Boats are detected within a radius of about five blocks, so approaching the hull is not required.

  3. Safety item check

    A held item such as a Totem of Undying can be required before auto-mounting, which avoids accidental boarding.
