TO USE THIS MOD IN MULTIPLAYER AND EAC MUST BE OFF *******
These are two boats that were released in A17.2 they are once again fully functional in the current V1.0 version of the game after updating. this version is not backward compatible with A21 .
Work in progress experimental version of the boating modlet now at Version 8 for V1.0
Launch
Place the boat on/in water in a 'shallow water' area, if you have no shallow
water in your map then build a small launch dock, then add fuel to boat.
Controls
Steering is A and D as per vanilla settings ....the mouse is for looking around only and has no affect on steering a boat.
W is forwards and S is slow down/reverse ..If you let go of w and shift (Turbo) then the boat slowly comes to a stop, pressing s will slow the boat down
more quickly this replaces spacebar as the brake key.
**** IMPORTANT ****
Space bar and c no long control the tilt angle ...pressing them will make boat bob up and down in this version, XML has changed to self levelling method.
If you hit a water bank or object in the water the boat will tilt but can now be corrected by simply turning left or right and circle round a bit.
To anchor boat and stop it drifting away just slow down come to a halt and the self levelling xml should bring you to a fixed position, useful if you have a fishing mod installed (Experimental method .
Other Info
Boats can be picked up into inventory, if you sink it at any point, although be careful if you sink
it too far away from the shores as it could be a long swim back.
Crafting
The Boats are craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed as the boats are intended as an early game version at the cost of resources and actually finding a working workbench early in the game would be a bonus and allow you to make the boats a lot sooner.
The recipe is simple and uses in game resources.
If anyone wants to change the recipes and build methods then please do so but let me know how you improved it.

Reminder: This mod does not change water blocks at all, so its going to be just add the xml modlet and off you go/float.
And as per usual with mods that add new models both client and server would need the mod.
