Boats are useful for travel, but they’re also annoying. You crash into a shoreline, get out to grab resources, and jump back in. Problem: your boat’s pointing at the land you just left. Now you’re stuck manually rotating it before you can continue. This happens way more often than you’d think.
Don’t Make Me Turn This Boat Around Mod fixes this with one simple feature: when you enter a boat, it automatically spins to face whatever direction you were facing. No clicking around. No wasted time. Just get in and go.
What This Mod Does
Auto-rotation on Entry
The boat instantly faces your direction when you board it. No animations, no weirdness. Just works.
No Configuration Needed
Drop it in your mods folder and it’s active. There’s nothing to toggle or customize. It does one thing well.
Compatible with Your Setup
Works with Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric. No conflicts with other mods in most setups.
