About this Mod
Sink your friends' boats!
Sink your friends' boats is a primarily server-side mod that allows for exactly one function: sink your friends' boats.
This mod also works on singleplayer and LAN worlds - only the host/server has to have the mod installed. It works the same as on the server.
To troll your friends, you HAVE to be a server operator (/op)
DISCLAIMER: You will need fabric loader 0.18.5. On modrinth, you can change that under Settings -> Installation
