Nice Boat: Refabricated
by BlueIceNeko
Nice Boat: Refabricated changes how boats steer and turn for the player riding them, and it can be tuned through a config screen.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod that makes boats easier to control. It adds a different way to steer them and keeps the rider's relative yaw within a set range, so the boat turns smoothly toward the correct heading. It is a rework of an earlier mod with the same name, and it changes the handling rather than the boat itself. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing anything.
Key features
Easier boat steering
The steering input for boats is reworked so that controlling a boat takes less effort.
Smooth yaw correction
The rider's yaw is held within a certain range relative to the boat, which keeps turning smooth and correct.
Configurable options
Settings are adjustable through Cloth Config API, opened with the N key from the Mod Menu.

Unlike the original mod by derumin: this refabricated edition is fully configurable. In 1.1+, you can also customize it using Cloth Config API…
