I Wanna Skate
by AlexModGuy
I Wanna Skate adds skateboarding to Minecraft: players craft a skateboard, ride it along solid blocks and perform tricks while the mod tracks a trick bar.
What it does
Players craft a skateboard from wooden planks, which can include wood types from other mods, and iron wheels. Trucks are made from iron wheels dropped by Skater Skeletons, a hostile mob that is somewhat elusive and only spawns over blocks that have been skated, such as stone or concrete. Witches drop them less often. Skater Skeletons use bows, chase their target and bash over its head repeatedly. Once the first board is built, it is used to craft a guidebook called Skating Made Simple, which explains how the mechanic works.
Skateboards are placed in the world and mounted by right-clicking. Holding forward pedals the board, filling an inertia bar on the left side of the screen; once that bar is full, the player stops pedaling and keeps speed. Holding back stops the board and lifts its front off the ground, and the left and right keys tilt it to change direction. Skateboards work poorly on dirt, grass and sand, so solid terrain such as stone or concrete is the better choice. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it needs Citadel on Forge and NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Craftable skateboard
The board is built from planks, iron wheels and other materials, and helmets drop from mobs and can be worn while skating.
Trick bar
A bar replaces the experience bar and works like a horse's jump; holding space fills it for an ollie, and a full bar allows a kickflip.
Inertia and speed
Pedaling builds momentum that carries the board forward, so the player can coast at speed without holding forward.
Holiday wheels
During certain months, skater wheels with holiday themes drop from mobs as well.

Craft your own skateboard, preform tricks, find cool skating gear, and interact with skateboarding mobs - it's all here and more. To get started, first you'll need to craft a skateboard.
