Don't like how boats break into wood and sticks? You can change it with this plugin.
You can choose wether you want the boat returned to your inventory, or dropped as a pickable boat, or even make them uncrashable.
Features:
Boats can be picked up when destroyed by a player, instead of breaking.
Boats can be picked up when crashed, instead of breaking.
Boats can be returned to the player's inventory when destroyed/crashed/exited.
