My Ice Boating Modpack
This is my personal Ice Boating modpack! I created it because many existing ice boating modpacks either lacked good performance mods or weren't configured the way I wanted.
The pack is mainly focused on performance, while also including a handful of useful mods specifically for ice boating to improve the overall experience.
To help you get started, I've already added 4 Ice Boating servers to the multiplayer server list, including FrostHex, so you can jump straight into racing.
This modpack is configured to fit my own preferences, but feel free to customize it however you'd like! You can edit the included configs, add your own mods, or remove anything you don't need to make the pack suit your own setup.
Q&A
How do I change the Boat HUD?
If you'd like to customize the Boat HUD, simply join a world or server and type:
/bb_boat_hud
into chat.
This will open the BBBoatHUD configuration page in your browser.
Editing the HUD is pretty straightforward, and all changes update live in-game, so you can instantly see where everything is being placed without needing to restart or reload anything.
Important Mods Used
1. Performance Mods
A huge collection of performance mods (you could basically say I took Fabulously Optimized and built on top of it).
2. BBBoatHUD
The pride and joy of this modpack (well... not really). It's a well-made and highly customizable Boat HUD that displays useful information while you're racing.
3. Auth Me
Fixes the occasional authentication issues that can cause Minecraft to randomly think you're logged out, resulting in the "Authentication failed, please restart the client and/or launcher" error.
4. BoatCam
Locks your camera to your boat's momentum, making racing feel smoother and more natural.
5. Gamma Utils
Adds Fullbright, making darker tracks and maps much easier to see.
6. OpenBoatUtils
Probably the most important mod in this pack! It allows boats to travel on non-ice blocks and even move up full blocks, making many modern ice boating maps and mechanics possible.
7. Simple Voice Chat
Lets you talk to other players on servers that support Simple Voice Chat, such as FrostHex.
8. And so much more!
There are plenty more mods included that improve performance, visuals, and gameplay. You can check out the complete list by clicking here and scrolling down!
Extra Mods Used
These are mods you can remove if you dont need them! These mods include WorldEdit, Axiom and Litematica! I added these because some users would maybe want to make their own ice boat tracks! So if you do not plan on using them u can remove them or leave them. Like i said above you are free to edit the configs and mods!
