Boat Fall
Makes boats and their passengers take fall damage
About this Mod
Boat Fall
This mod is a port of a fix from RandomPatches for MC-98160 and MC-105103. The mod works entirely server side while still functioning on the client. With this mod installed boats will break when they fall from a great enough height and their passengers will take the appropriate amount of fall damage. Boats with chests will drop their inventory on the ground when destroyed by fall damage.
FAQ
Does this work on my client?
- Yes, it will fix the bugs on the integrated server, but is not needed when connected to servers as the mod can function entirely server side.
Can you port to Forge?
- No, there are no plans to port to Forge at this time.
Can you port to another version?
- I will only port to newer versions of the game. All releases have their version limited to all minor releases of the current major version when released.
