BoatOverhaul [Fabric]
This modification brings the boat control mechanics from the popular naval warfare game World of Warships to Minecraft, completely overhauling the water transportation navigation system.
Key Features
The mod modifies standard control keys:
- W (forward movement) — now shifts the boat's gear up
- S (backward movement) — shifts the gear down
- A (strafe left) — turns the rudder left (manual mode)
- D (strafe right) — turns the rudder right (manual mode)
Additionally, two new functions are added:
- NUM4 — automatic rudder turn left
- NUM6 — automatic rudder turn right
Visual Demonstration

The boat gradually increases speed through the gear system.

Demonstration of rudder turning left with simultaneous gear changes.
Configuration Settings

Features
The mod's sound effects are borrowed from the famous naval warfare game World of Warships, creating an authentic atmosphere of naval battles. The modification is fully compatible with creating custom mod packs.
