About this Mod

Buoys

Mod Banner, showing some buoys and a boat.

Adds dyeable Buoy Blocks that can be placed in water.
All buoy blocks can be placed directly inside water without needing a supporting block to place on.

Buoy

Double block that has a space on top to place things like lanterns or torches.
Chain Buoys connect to them.

Chain Buoy

A double block as well, but way shorter and smaller.
Connects to other buoy blocks upon initial placement, both straight and diagonally.
- Placing a block one block above where the buoy will sit prevents it from connecting to other buoys upon placement (you can break the block afterward).
