Ice Track Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start making an ice track?
Place a boat on the ground, then right-click or enter it. Once you're inside, the mod will begin generating ice beneath the boat as you move, creating your track automatically.
Does the ice track work on any surface?
The ice generates on most solid blocks beneath the boat, but results work best on flat terrain like grass, dirt, or stone. Uneven surfaces may cause gaps in your track.
Can I control how wide the ice track is?
The ice track width is determined by the boat's size and cannot be adjusted through mod settings. The track will be as wide as the boat itself.
What happens if I stop riding the boat?
Ice generation stops immediately when you exit the boat. If you re-enter it later, it will resume generating ice from that point forward.
Can I use this mod with other mods that modify boats?
The mod works with standard boats, but custom boats from other mods may not generate ice properly. Stick to vanilla boats for reliable track generation.
Does the ice melt or disappear over time?
The ice blocks placed by the mod behave like normal ice and will melt if exposed to light sources like torches or lava nearby. Use ice blocks in shaded areas or away from heat sources to preserve your tracks.
How do I fix gaps or missing ice in my track?
Ride the boat slowly over the gap again to regenerate the missing ice, or refer to the Extend or Repair an Existing Ice Track guide for detailed instructions.
Can I make curved or spiral ice tracks?
Yes, the ice generates in real time as you steer the boat, so you can create any shape by controlling the boat's direction. See the Design a Boat Racing Course guide for layout tips.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Generating large amounts of ice blocks can impact performance on lower-end systems. Create tracks in sections and avoid generating massive areas at once if you experience slowdowns.
What should I do if ice isn't generating at all?
Check the Troubleshoot Ice Track Generation Issues guide, but common causes include being in a dimension where the mod doesn't work, or the boat being placed on an invalid surface.
