About Boats but long
From ModrinthVanilla Minecraft boats get LONG counterparts
Long boats
This mod adds variants of vanilla Minecraft boats which are roughly three times the size. They fit 5 entities and the players sitting in the three spots with paddles can all steer the boat simultaneously!
Variants
Long boats are currently available in 7 variants. More variants (including the pale oak from 1.21.4 and a raft) are planned to be added in the future, but polishing out the bugs is a priority in the current alpha stage of the mod.
Crafting
Combining two vanilla boats of the same type in a shapeless recipe gives a long boat of the same type.
Steering
The boat speed will gradually increase with the number of paddling players up to roughly three times the speed of a vanilla boat (with all three players paddling). Players can steer the boat simultaneously.
Player sitting in the rear has the most and player in the front has the least control over the boat direction. All the players have an equal control over the boat forward speed, which is slower than a vanilla boat when just one player is paddling.
Disclaimer
The mod is currently in an alpha stage and the behavior of long boats might still be inappropriate in some cases. If you find any bugs standing out, please don't hesitate to report them using the Report issues link.
