Hireable Boat

Adds docks with a hireable boatman who rows you to other docks you've discovered, for a fare.

How it works

1. Find a dock, or craft and place your own.
2. Visiting a dock adds it to your list of known destinations.
3. Talk to the boatman and pick a destination from the travel screen. Each entry shows the dock's name, distance and fare.
4. Pay the fare and you're taken to the other dock.

Features

• Docks generate in the Overworld, with separate docks near plains, desert, savanna, snowy and taiga villages.
• Docks use the wood type of their biome: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry or bamboo.
• Craftable Dock Contract for placing your own. Overworld docks need water under the pier and rowboat, Nether docks need lava, and End docks need an open drop.
• Docks can be named when placed and renamed later by the placer or an operator.
• Separate sailor skins for the Overworld, Nether and End. Skins can be changed in the config (built-in, PNG file, player name or NBT profile), and hats can be toggled per dimension.
• Fares can be paid in items (emeralds by default), XP levels or XP points. The price scales with distance, with a configurable base and maximum.
• Travel is refused while riding, during the cooldown, or while a hostile mob is targeting you. Failed trips are refunded.

Configuration

Configurable in-game or in hireableboat-common.toml:

• Travel: cooldown, hostile mob range, optional water-connection requirement
• Fare: currency, fare item, base price, blocks per fare unit, maximum fare
• Water network: cell size, fill cap, minimum depth, strict channels, scan budget
• Sailor: hats per dimension, skin mode

The fare item uses the hireableboat:fare_items tag, so datapacks can change what counts as payment.

Requirements

• GeckoLib

Install on both server and client.
