Minetest 5.3 mod: Motorboat
This is the "Motorboat", an hybrid of "Not So Simple Helicopter" and "Sailing Kit". It's water dynamics comes from Sailing Kit (by TheTermos). So it depends on mobkit. And It dependes on the biofuel mod for fuel making. It starts anchored, so press sneak key to remove anchor. With keyboard you can move the boat. When you press E key, it starts the engine and you can navigate fast, but it consumes fuel. When the engine is started, using W and S you can control the engine power. With engine off you use paddles instead. You can refuel only with the engine turned off. And you can set anchor by pressing sneak, but it only works when the boat is near completely stopped (when the anchor is sucessfull, you receive a message on chat).
It can be painted using dye of any color you want, you must punch the seat with the dye.
Biofuel mod can be found here: https://github.com/APercy/minetest_biofuel
It uses some code from Sailing Kit (by TheTermos)

After using ordinary boats, this is a breath of fresh air
Note: I'm not a shipsandboatsorwaterverman, so I'm also not sure if this mod is super realistic and designed as an actual ship simulator (and I'm not triggered by it not being super realistic, if it really isn't). The motorboat from this mod is just awesome.
Of course, it can go decently fast, using biofuel which is always easy to obtain (if confused on how to put some into it, then take the seat and punch the boat with biofuel). Though, it also makes you truly feel like a captain, featuring realisticly slow turning/movement/acceleration and floating/slightly bouncing (or whatever you would call it) on the water. It also gives slight attention to detail, like the engine motor thing rotating (you can even look backwards to see how much you've rotated it).
Literally my only complaint, which is minor, is that when you right click on the boat to get off, you don't get put on top of it, but instead, into the water. Anyways, I see why this mod wasn't updated for like 2 years (as of may 30th 2024). It's because it's still great!
My fishing boat
Nice boat mod! I wish there were more than 2 seats, but I won't complain :> I'm having problems with the engine though; when I press E the engine is making sounds, but when I go forwards, it stops for some reason. Did I do something wrong or is it a bug??
great
best boat mod ive seen on here would love to see more models love it
nice
nice mod. i prefer big ships and ferrys,but this is nice for free-time driving and fishing
Zoooooooom
Sped along in my boat enjoying the sea breeze in my hair, that was until a tentacle came out of the water and stole it.
Melhor mod de barco pra servidores
Curti muito, além de ter uma boa física e visual, da pra mais de um jogador usar ao mesmo tempo, pra quem joga com os amigo fica muito mais divertido explorar o mapa, recomendo para servidores, principalmente se tiver muita água no mapa.
Good Mod
It earns a spot in my modset.
Very good mod
Good physics and not too much lag
