Ice Boat Path Generator
by Honzr
Ice Boat Path Generator is a Fabric client mod that snaps a boat's heading to the nearest ice boat angle and lays down lines of blocks along it.
What it does
Ice boat tracks are easier to build when every segment follows an exact angle, and this mod provides commands for that. It reads the yaw of the player's current boat and snaps it to the closest fixed angle, showing the precise yaw alongside the rounded-down and rounded-up candidates. Two sets of coordinates can also be given, and the command reports the real angle between those two points along with its snapped value.
Ghost blocks preview a path before it is built. A command generates a line of ghost blocks in the snapped direction, sized by the chosen length, and another command clears them. Placing the same line as actual blocks is handled by a separate command, which accepts either the boat heading or two coordinate points. The mod requires Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and it is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21.11 and 26.2.
Key features
Yaw snapping
The current boat yaw is snapped to the closest ice boat angle, with the rounded-down and rounded-up options shown.
Two-point angle
Entering two coordinate points reports the real angle between them and the snapped angle used for building.
Ghost block preview
Commands generate a line of ghost blocks sized by length, and a separate command removes all ghost blocks.
Placing actual blocks
The same snapped line can be placed as real blocks, either along the boat heading or between two points.

Use cases
Planning an ice boat track
A builder can preview a straight segment as ghost blocks, check the angle, and then place the real blocks once the line looks right.
Laying out a route between two points
Entering the start and end coordinates gives the angle and a line of blocks that follows it.
Who it’s for: Players who build ice boat tracks in single-player or on a server where the client has the mod installed.
How it compares
Coordinate angle is a Fabric client-side mod under the MIT License, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it handles the angle part of the job without the ghost and placement commands. Simple Boats runs on client and server and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, for 1.21.11 – 26.3, which changes boat behavior rather than building paths. Faster Boats is a client-side open source mod under the MIT License for 1.21 – 26.2.
