About Boats On Ice
From ModrinthDo you wish that boats in Minecraft were faster? With this Mod, boats in water act as if they are on ice! No more paddling around an ocean for hours, its time for warp speed!
Ice Boats
Ice Boats makes boats glide across water with ice-like slipperiness and adds a small speedometer while riding a boat.
In vanilla Minecraft, boats lose speed quickly while moving through water. This mod changes the boat water-friction behavior so water feels much closer to boating on ice: smoother, faster, and more momentum-based.
Features
- Makes boats use ice-like friction in water
- Shows boat speed in blocks per second while riding
- No commands or config files
- Works with normal boats and chest boats
- Lightweight Fabric mixin mod
Installation
Install this mod on both the client and the server.
Minecraft 26.1.2 treats player-controlled boats as client-authoritative, so the client needs the physics change too. A server-only install will not reliably change how player-controlled boats move.
Compatibility
- Minecraft Java: 26.1.2
- Mod loader: Fabric
- Java: 25+
- Notes
This mod changes boat movement physics and adds a lightweight client HUD readout. It does not add items, blocks, enchantments, commands, or configuration.
