Schpeedy Boats
by dr0idb0t
Schpeedy Boats speeds up boats on water and ice for Fabric on 1.20.1, and only players who want faster travel on the water need to know its effect.
What it does
Boats move faster on water, and on ice the speed increase is smaller. The ice speed change is written as a control adjustment for ice boats, adapted from the Ice Boat Nerf mod, while the general speed change for boat entities is adapted from an older speed code in Paradise Lost.
The mod is described by its author as a simple change that makes boats a little faster. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, in one release for 1.20.1 and an earlier build for 1.20.
Schpeedy Boats is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and an issue tracker available. The latest file, 0.0.3 for 1.20.1, was published on 2023-06-17, the same day as the first release.

How it compares
Boats On Ice is a Fabric mod for 26.1.2, not open source, under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server. Faster Boats is also a Fabric and Quilt mod, open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.6 and the same client and server environment. Schpeedy Boats, by contrast, targets 1.20.1 and is open source under the MIT License.
