Minecanoes Water Fix
by ajisai
Minecanoes Water Fix changes how a boat displaces water so the water mask matches the shape of a canoe in the Minecanoes resource pack.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft, the water area that turns see-through around a boat is a flat box. The mod adds two extra triangular shapes at the front and back, replacing the old box, so the displacement follows the pointed ends of a canoe model instead. The triangles are added only through the Minecanoes resource pack, and without it the effect does not look right.
Entity Texture Features and Entity Model Features, both for Fabric 1.21.5, are named as dependencies alongside the Minecanoes resource pack. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. Only the client needs it. Boat with Chest is not remodeled by the resource pack, so the feature is disabled for that boat and only the regular boat shape is changed.
The mod is published for Fabric and for Minecraft 1.21.5 only. The author states that it was tested only on that version and that rendering code changes frequently between versions, so builds for other versions are not provided and porting is not planned soon. The code is licensed under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Triangular water masks
Two triangular shapes replace the rectangular water area at the front and back of the boat.
Canoe-shaped displacement
Water displacement follows the canoe model's pointed ends, so the water fits the boat as drawn.
Boat with Chest exclusion
The canoe shape is applied to the regular boat only, since the resource pack does not remodel the chest boat.

Use cases
Canoe resource pack setups
Players who use the Minecanoes resource pack with Entity Texture Features and Entity Model Features can add this mod for matching water.
Who it’s for: Players who already run the Minecanoes resource pack on Minecraft 1.21.5 and want the water around their canoe to match the model.
How it compares
Flying Boats is an MIT-licensed, open source Fabric mod for 1.17.1 – 1.18.2 that runs on client and server. MaskedSMP is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, required on both sides. Minecanoes Water Fix is client-side only and covers 1.21.5 alone, so it targets the canoe shape rather than server features.

What the author says
Extends the boat's water mask to better suit the Minecanoes resourcepack by adding triangular water mask extensions to the front and back of the boat — making the water displacement match the shape of a canoe rather than a plain rectangle. In vanilla Minecraft, the area where water becomes transparent inside a boat…
