Boatism Fabric Mod for Minecraft

Embark on a revolutionary journey across the seas with Boatism,
a fabric mod designed to improve your boating adventures in Minecraft!
Say goodbye to slow and tedious boat rides and embrace the thrill of high-speed travel
with our cutting-edge boat engine feature.

Features

  1. Add new Boat Engine Entities to your Boats. Simply hook them on your favorite Boat, fill up the gas and start the
    engine.
  2. Travel faster by sea than ever before. Engine Power Level 5 already exceeds the vanilla Boat speed!
  3. Keep an eye and an ear out for your engine. Continuous high stress may cause unforeseen accidents!
  4. Upgrade your engine with special custom parts.
    • Your fuel capacity is too small? Strap on an extra canister!
    • Is your engine overheating too fast? How about some better cooling options?
    • Your engine can't take a beating? Put on some plating, and it will tank any fall!
  5. The engine's back-end code is built with mod compatibility in mind. Try hooking it up with custom mod boats and let
    us know how it went!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
