Boat Item View

About the Modification

The Boat Item View modification is a client-side addon for Minecraft that allows players to see items held in their hand while sailing in a boat. This functionality is not available in the standard version of the game.

Important note: displayed items in hand cannot be used while the boat is moving. The mod works only at the visualization level and does not change the server-side logic of vanilla gameplay.

Main Features

• Enable and disable display of items in hand while moving in a boat
• Configure types of items that will be shown during sailing
• Compatibility with Cloth Config and ModMenu for convenient configuration

Installation

This is an exclusively client-side mod. Do not install it on dedicated servers.

Dependencies

• Fabric API (required)
• Cloth Config API (required, pre-installed in the mod)
• Mod Menu API (optional, for in-game settings interface)
