📋 About This Mod
!(https://i.imgur.com/xKA4HQP.gif) 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. <table><tbody><tr><td>FEATURES</td></tr></tbody></table> <table><tbody><tr><td>Ramped Steering Input</td><td>Smoothly accelerates from 0% to 100% over one second when steering, eliminating the violent snap of vanilla's binary input</td></tr><tr><td>Micro-Adjustments</td><td>Tapping the steer key applies only a tiny nudge, giving you precise control at low speed</td></tr><tr><td>HUD Feedback Bar</td><td>A bar appears over the XP bar slot while steering, showing your current input power</td></tr></tbody></table> <table><tbody><tr><td>HOW TO USE</td></tr></tbody></table> - Ride any boat and press !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/3451c56b46f1f0d3194d54df6fb50f90189cb47d_0.webp) or !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/172d2d2537215514727694af3bc09ebcedc044d9_0.webp) 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. <table><tbody><tr><td>REQUIREMENTS</td></tr></tbody></table> - Fabric Loader - Fabric API <table><tbody><tr><td>CLIENT & SERVER</td></tr></tbody></table> Some functionality exists on both the client and the server, making the mod required for the server but optional for the client. <table><tbody><tr><td>FREE & OPEN SOURCE</td></tr></tbody></table> This is a completely free project.
