Faster Boats

by medicalwhiskey

Faster Boats makes boats travel quicker on Fabric, with a speed boost that builds up during straight-line travel.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.2

What it does

Faster Boats raises the top speed of boats. Vanilla boats reach about 10.4 blocks per second, and the mod raises forward and reverse travel above that. Holding a straight course for six to eight seconds gradually adds further speed, which tops out at about 16.6 blocks per second. Any turn resets the build-up, so the boost rewards steady routes.

The mod is published for Fabric only and needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. It is client-side only, so a server does not need to install it and players can join without it. It covers the 1.21 – 26.2 range with 16 release versions, and the latest file, 1.0.6+26.2, targets 26.2. Faster Boats is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available.

Key features

  1. Higher boat speed

    Boats move faster than vanilla in both forward and reverse directions.

  2. Boost reset on turns

    Turning or stopping drops the accumulated boost, so the extra speed depends on a steady heading.

  3. Quality-of-life travel

    The mod is aimed at players who spend long stretches on water and want shorter trips without commands or items.
