No Boats
This mod removes all boats from Minecraft, forcing you to travel across water the slow way. It makes oceans feel bigger and exploration harder since you can’t just zip across huge distances anymore.
About this Mod
No Boats deletes every type of boat from the game, including chest boats, so players can’t craft, place, or use them. You’ll have to swim, bridge, or find alternate paths whenever you reach a river or ocean. It changes exploration, makes early-game travel tougher, and gives the world a more realistic, stranded-feel challenge.
