Smooth Sail

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 InputSmoothly accelerates from 0% to 100% over one second when steering, eliminating the violent snap of vanilla's binary input
Micro-AdjustmentsTapping the steer key applies only a tiny nudge, giving you precise control at low speed
HUD Feedback BarA bar appears over the XP bar slot while steering, showing your current input power
HOW TO USE
  • Ride any boat and press A or D 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.
