Good Boat Fix

by tmpim

Good Boat Fix changes what a broken boat leaves behind in the Beta build of Minecraft, so that it drops a boat item instead of sticks and planks.

What it does

Under the original beta rules, a destroyed boat returns sticks and planks. With Good Boat Fix installed on a server, a broken boat drops a boat item that players can pick up and place again. The change applies on the server side, so players join without installing anything.

The mod is published for Babric, the Fabric-based loader for the Beta build, and only for that game version. It needs Fabric Language Kotlin, Glass Config API and StationAPI, and Mod Menu is optional for Babric in-game configuration. Settings can be changed in the game, and one tweak can be disabled from the config screen.

If UniTweaks is also installed and its boats-drop-themselves tweak is enabled, Good Boat Fix detects it and disables itself, because both mods aim at the same behavior. The two mods work slightly differently, so the author marks them as incompatible when run together. Builds are published as snapshots as well as releases, and the project is released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Boat item drops

    A destroyed boat leaves a boat item behind instead of the sticks and planks of the beta behavior.

  2. In-game configuration

    Babric players can open a configuration screen through Mod Menu and change the options the mod exposes.

  3. Conflict detection

    If UniTweaks runs with its matching tweak enabled, Good Boat Fix turns itself off to avoid a clash.

  4. Single tweak toggle

    One of the mod's behaviors can be switched off in the config, leaving the rest in place.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Use cases

Beta server with boats

A server owner running the Beta build who wants boats to survive as items rather than crafting materials can run the fix for all players.

Who it’s for: Server owners running the Beta build through Babric who want broken boats to drop a boat item. Players on such a server do not need to install the mod.

Questions

Which loader does Good Boat Fix need?

It is published for Babric only, and Fabric Language Kotlin, Glass Config API and StationAPI are required alongside it.

Does the server need Good Boat Fix, or do players?

Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.

Can Good Boat Fix run together with UniTweaks?

Not with the boats-drop-themselves tweak enabled. Good Boat Fix detects UniTweaks and disables itself in that case.

What the author says

Beta 1.7.3 mod to make boats drop boats instead of sticks and planks when broken. This mod is incompatible with UniTweaks "boats drop themselves" tweak, though it works slightly differently. Both mods may be installed simultaneously, but Good Boat Fix will disable itself if it detects that UniTweaks is installed and…
