Fish 'N' Ships
by Hybrid Labs
With Fish 'N' Ships installed, players can build sailboats, canoes, rafts and larger vessels that carry passengers, chests and pets across water.
What it does
The mod adds new boat types to Minecraft, including sailboats, canoes and a larger boat that carries up to three passengers, or two passengers with one chest. Rafts form a separate watercraft line: a fishing ship, and a Supply Raft that carries up to four passengers and stacks of items. Passengers cannot steer a raft, so they are leashed and pulled behind it, which lets a player bring mobs and other cargo along.
Ships need fuel to move and carry built-in storage that can be extended with upgrade accessories. An icebreaker accessory lets a ship break through ice sheets, which makes frozen rivers and frozen oceans easier to cross. A trawling net accessory is fitted to the back of a ship, and pressing space or jump activates the net so it catches fish automatically while the ship sails. Fish 'N' Ships needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Geckolib, Hybrid API [HAPI] and Kotlin for Forge, and it works alongside the optional Hybrid Aquatic. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Sailboats and canoes
Sailboats, canoes and other new boat types join the vanilla boats, with their own sails and seating.
Chest and passenger boats
A larger boat seats three riders, or two riders alongside a storage chest, which suits trips with extra pets.
Rafts and supply rafts
Rafts include a fishing ship and a Supply Raft that carries up to 66 stacks of items inside it.
Icebreaker upgrade
An upgrade accessory fitted to the front of a ship breaks through ice sheets on frozen water.
Automatic trawling net
A net upgrade on the back of a ship catches fish automatically when activated with space or jump.

How it compares
Shippy Ships is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 26.3, client and server, under a custom license. Valkyrien Sails is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, client and server, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and it adds sails to ships rather than new boat types. Passengers Portal Fix is server-side only and covers 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, so players join without installing it.
