For Developers
Boatism strives to improve compatibility with other mods!
For now every Entity, which extends from the BoatEntity class, is eligible
to hook up the engine and should need no extra implementations to work as intended.
If your boat has a different size, compared to the default boats, you might want
to adjust the relative engine position.
Check out the API package
for more information.
Current state and plans for the future
The mod is, as of now, in a stable state and can be experimented with.
Due to a tight schedule, a lot of balancing and bug testing still has to be done, so make sure to let us know about
possible issues
or feature requests in the GitHub issues.

Boatism server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Boatism compatible with fabric?
Boatism officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Boatism – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Boatism consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
