What it does

Boats are the core of the mod. Canoes, rowboats and sloops can be crafted from wood types added by external mods, so a boat's look follows the wood chosen. The mod also adds a dedicated roofing block for building, and Patchouli entries that show which kinds of wood go into each boat.

FirmaCivPlus is an addon for TerraFirmaCraft that adds cross compatibility with other addons of that kind, such as ArborFirmaCraft. It needs Firma: Civilization to run, and Beneath and ArborFirmaCraft (AFC) are optional. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public.

The mod was first published on 2025-03-08 and last updated on 2025-05-03. The latest Forge file is 1.0.1-1.20.1 for 1.20.1. Nebby1999 wrote the mod, which began as an addition to a modpack's core mod before its author chose to release it publicly. Future versions beyond 1.20 are mentioned as a possibility, especially if FirmaCiv and Alekiships become data-driven. The mod aims to let players add new watercraft through datapacks.
