BoatOverhaul [Forge]

For Fabric version? Available via the corresponding link.

This mod overhauls the standard boat behavior in Minecraft, implementing realistic control mechanics from the famous naval warfare game WOWS.

Main Features

Modified standard key bindings:

• Key "W": Forward → Gear shift up
• Key "S": Backward → Gear shift down
• Key "A": Turn left → Manual rudder control left
• Key "D": Turn right → Manual rudder control right

Added key bindings:

• NUM4: Automatic rudder control left
• NUM6: Automatic rudder control right

Demonstration

Example of gradual increase in boat speed

Boat turning with simultaneous gear switching

Configuration Settings

#Allows a boat to steer with minimal additional forward speed when the gear state is at STOP
allowRudderingWhenStopped = false

#If set to true, a boat sailing backward and steering right will move to the left backward
reverseRudderWhenSailingAstern = false
