Ultimte Configurable Boats
by ErenQT
Ultimte Configurable Boats, a NeoForge mod by ErenQT, replaces the standard boat handling with speed, acceleration and jump settings that the server owner or player can tune.
What it does
Boat movement is set through a Blocks Per Second value, so a target speed such as 20 BPS for cruising or 1000 BPS for a record run can be entered directly without internal units. Acceleration follows a proportional curve with interpolation, so boats speed up and slow down gradually instead of teleporting to top speed. The jump height is set as a number of blocks, and a tick-based cooldown limits how often a boat can jump.
The engine sound loops and changes pitch with the current velocity, so the tone gets higher as the boat speeds up. A speedometer overlay shows the current speed in BPS and km/h along with the active multiplier, and its progress bar scales to the configured maximum. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0.0 dated 2026-01-10, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Blocks Per Second speed
Boat speed is set in blocks per second, which makes target values such as cruising speed straightforward to compare.
Smooth acceleration
Speed changes are interpolated, so boats accelerate and decelerate gradually and handle more like a car.
Configurable jump
Jump height is measured in blocks and a tick-based cooldown prevents repeated jumps, letting boats clear lily pads and small islands.
Speedometer overlay
A minimal HUD shows current speed in BPS and km/h, the multiplier, and a bar scaled to the speed limit.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to change how boats handle in survival or creative play, and server owners who want a set of boat limits for their world.
How it compares
Boat Through Lilies is a client and server mod for NeoForge and Fabric, covering 1.20.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Create Aeronautics: Boat Propellers is a client and server mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and it adds propellers rather than changing boat movement settings. Fix Boat Break is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers NeoForge 1.21.1, so it does not need to be installed on player clients.
