Set Up Fast Ice Travel Routes

Prepare Your Ice Track

Ice boating is significantly smoother with this mod. Start by creating or finding a long ice path. The mod's improved step height and collision detection mean your boat will glide over small obstacles without stopping.

Optimize Your Route

When building ice tracks, you can now include:

  • Single-block height changes without breaking momentum
  • Packed ice mixed with regular ice for varied terrain
  • Gentle slopes that would normally cause boats to stall

The enhanced collision detection automatically handles these transitions. Test your route at high speed—the mod prevents the stuttering and collision issues that normally plague ice travel.

Tips for Best Results

Avoid sudden 2+ block drops or walls, as these still require manual navigation. Keep your path relatively clear of entities and mobs, which can still interfere with boat movement. Use this setup for rapid transit between bases or for speedrun practice.
