Description
BoatInertia is a relatively simple utility plugin to enable the modification of maximum boat speed. After spending too much of my time looking for something that could do this, I gave up and just did it myself.

Installation

  1. Download the latest release from my GitHub repo
  2. Download ProtocolLib - this is a required dependency
  3. Drag both jar files into your plugins folder
  4. Let the server run once to generate config and readme files
  5. Edit BoatInertia config to slow down or speed up boats

 

Notes

  • BoatInertia 1.2 was built on ProtocolLib Build #546 / 4.8.0-rc2
  • Tested on Purpur 1.18.1 but should work on any Bukkit fork that ProtocolLib supports
  • NO, there are no commands yet. Just one simple field in the config file
  • The lack of a functioning Bukkit/Spigot API for boats made this challenging - as a result, I had to rewrite the entire boat movement/physics engine. Boats may behave slightly different because of this. See below to report issues

 

Support
I recommend using the GitHub repo's issue tracker to report issues. Be sure to include server/environment information and respective error logs. I have to recreate the problem in order to fix it, so the more details, the better.

Thanks for trying it out, have fun!
