Description
Fabric? Here.
The mod ports WOWS's boat sailing mechanism to Minecraft.
Features:
4 vanilla keybindings are modified:
Walk Forwards (W): Sail Forwards -> Boat Gear Up;
Walk Backwards (S): Sail Backwards -> Boat Gear Down;
Strafe Left (A): Boat Turn Left -> Boat Rudder Left (Manual);
Strafe Right (D): Boat Turn Right -> Boat Rudder Right (Manual).
2 modded keybindings are added:
NUM4: Boat Rudder Left (Auto);
NUM6: Boat Rudder Right (Auto).
Showcase:

A boat gradually gears up.

A boat rudders left, and gears up and down.
Configurations:
.minecraft/config/boatoverhaul-common.toml (Forge)
#Allows a boat to turn its rudder with a very low extra forward speed when the gear state is at STOP
allowRudderingWhenStopped = false
#If set to true, a boat sailing backward and ruddering right, for example, will sail to the left rearward
reverseRudderWhenSailingAstern = false
Attention:
The mod's sound resources are from the popular naval war game WOWS;
The "mixinless" version of the mod needs MixinBootstrap.
You DEFINITELY CAN add the mod to your modpack;
I encourage any porting request for reasonable versions / modloaders.
