🛶 Canoe Water Mask
Extends the boat's water mask to better suit the Minecanoes resourcepack by adding triangular water mask extensions to the front and back of the boat — making the water displacement match the shape of a canoe rather than a plain rectangle.
What Does This Do?
In vanilla Minecraft, the area where water becomes transparent inside a boat is a simple rectangle. When using a canoe-shaped resourcepack model, this rectangle doesn't match the pointed ends of the canoe — making it look off.
This mod adds two extra triangular water mask shapes with a new rectangle (while removing the old rectangle), with one triangle at the front and one at the back, so the water displacement fits the canoe shape properly.
⚠️ Requirements
This mod requires the following to work as intended:
- ETF — Entity Texture Features (Fabric 1.21.5)
- EMF — Entity Model Features (Fabric 1.21.5)
- Minecanoes resourcepack (https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/minecanoes)
Without the resourcepack and its dependencies, the mod will still run but the effect won't look right.
⚠️ Known Limitations
- Only tested on 1.21.5 — Minecraft rendering code changes frequently between versions. Compatibility with other versions is not guaranteed.

💬 Notes
This is my first ever mod! I mainly made it for personal use to complement my own resourcepack setup, but I'm sharing it in case anyone else finds it useful. Apologies if it's rough around the edges — I'm still learning. 😄
If you're on a version other than 1.21.5, it likely won't work and I can't guarantee a port anytime soon.
Since [Boat with Chest] isn't remodled by the Minecanoes resourcepack, the feature is disabled for them, only changing the shape of the box for the normal [Boat].
