Player Boat Leash
by rolyPolyVole
Player Boat Leash lets a player tie a leash to a rider in a boat and pull the boats around with it, on a Fabric server.
What it does
Boats carrying players can be moved by leashes, so one boat can drag another across the water or the ground. The mod's own text lists Happy Ghast Hot Air Balloons as also able to stack boats on leashes, and Boat Trains as another supported arrangement. It runs on the server alone, and singleplayer worlds can use it too. The mod depends on lightweight libraries, which installs with it. Files exist for 1.21.11 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest Fabric build, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is published.
Key features
Leashed boat movement
A leash can connect a boat carrying a player to another boat, which then follows the one that is pulled.
Boat trains
Several boats can be chained together on leashes to form a train that moves as a single unit.
Balloon stacking
Happy Ghast Hot Air Balloons can carry boats linked by leashes, according to the mod's own description.
