Improved Seating Mechanics

Realistic Rowing Mod adjusts how your player model sits and positions itself within a boat. Instead of floating awkwardly, you now sit in a more realistic rowing posture.

Player Model Positioning

1. Your character sits lower in the boat, centered properly on the seat

2. Your torso angles forward in a natural rowing stance

3. Arms position realistically relative to the oars and your body

4. Head and camera align with where a real rower's eyes would be

What This Means for Gameplay

  • Your view height changes to match realistic rowing eye-level
  • Visibility around the boat edges may differ from vanilla boats
  • Your hitbox aligns better with your visible model position
  • Exiting the boat places you at a position consistent with your seated pose

Tips for Comfort

  • The adjusted positioning takes a moment to feel natural
  • Test in shallow water first to confirm visibility and control feel right for you
  • The improved model positioning makes rowing feel more grounded and intentional

These changes transform boat seating from abstract to embodied, making water travel feel like an actual activity rather than a menu state.
