Sink Your Friends' Boats!
by PlexiglasOG
Sink Your Friends' Boats! lets a server operator make boats sink in water for chosen players, using commands that manage a list of targets.
What it does
The mod works on a server, and it is installed on the server side only. Players join without installing anything. An operator adds players to a list with a command, and while a player is on the list, any boat they travel in will sink when it touches water. The list can be filled from players currently online, cleared, refreshed, or edited by hand in the config file, where players are stored by their UUIDs.
The mod also works in single-player and LAN worlds, where the host installs it and is the only one running it. It is built for Fabric and NeoForge, and it requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files exist for the 1.20.1 and 26.x game versions, with the latest Fabric build for 26.3 and the latest NeoForge build for 26.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Operator command list
A command lets operators add players to a list of targets, remove them, or clear the whole list.
Online player autofill
A command fills the list with players who are online at the time, so a group can be targeted at once.
Manual config editing
The list is stored in a config file that can be edited by hand, with players identified by their UUIDs.
Refresh command
A refresh command reloads the list, which is useful after the config file has been changed outside the game.
Single-player and LAN support
In single-player and LAN worlds the host runs the mod alone, and no other installation is needed.

What the author says
This mod also works on singleplayer and LAN worlds - only the host/server has to have the mod installed. It works the same as on the server. To troll your friends, you HAVE to be a server operator (_/op_)
