Description
Tired of your boat jerking violently every time you try to make a simple adjustment? Smooth Sail transforms the clunky, binary movement of vanilla rowing into a fluid, professional handling experience. By introducing an intentional acceleration curve to your steering, this mod allows you to navigate tight rivers and narrow docks with a level of precision that was previously impossible.
| FEATURES |
| Ramped Steering Input | Smoothly accelerates from 0% to 100% over one second when steering, eliminating the violent snap of vanilla's binary input |
| Micro-Adjustments | Tapping the steer key applies only a tiny nudge, giving you precise control at low speed |
| HUD Feedback Bar | A bar appears over the XP bar slot while steering, showing your current input power |
| HOW TO USE |
- Ride any boat and press
or 
to steer. - Hold the key down to gradually reach 100% turning power over one second.
- Tap the keys briefly to perform micro-corrections without oversteering.
- Watch the bars overlaying the XP bar to see exactly how much power is being applied in real-time.
| REQUIREMENTS |
- Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
| CLIENT & SERVER |
Some functionality exists on both the client and the server, making the mod required for the server but optional for the client.
| FREE & OPEN SOURCE |
This is a completely free project. I'm not asking for donations or "buy me a coffee" contributions. If you enjoy the mod, the best way to support it is by:
- Leaving a rating/review
- Sharing it with friends
- Reporting any bugs you find
