THE Astroboat
by Vlopx
THE Astroboat lets players fly a magical spruce boat by looking in the direction they want to travel, and the boat is named in a specific way to work.
What it does
Players steer the Astroboat with the look direction: pressing W moves the boat forward along the view, looking up climbs and looking down descends. Flying a magical boat is the core activity. A spruce boat renamed LA Astrobarca Astroboat is the only setup that starts the flight; any other boat or name leaves the mechanic inactive. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.10, with 2.0.0 as the latest file in the alpha channel. The environment is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the license is All rights reserved, which means the mod is not open source.
Key features
Look-based flight
The boat follows the player's view: forward with W, up when looking at the sky, down when looking at the ground.
Named spruce boat
Flight requires a spruce boat renamed to LA Astrobarca Astroboat, so the boat must be prepared before use.
Magical boat theme
The mod turns a regular spruce boat into a magical flying vehicle for casual flying around the world.
