How to Row Boats with Custom Animations

Boarding Your Roofed Vessel

After placing your boat in the water, walk up to it and right-click to climb aboard. You can sit inside the boat under its built-in wooden roof. Press your perspective key (F5 by default) to cycle between first-person and third-person views. In first-person, you will see the framing of the wooden roof overhead as you look across the water.

Experiencing Smooth Rowing Animations

Cute and Better Boats includes dedicated movement animations designed to enhance your travel across water:

1. Press your movement keys (W to move forward, A and D to steer) to begin rowing.

2. Watch the oars and boat body as you travel; the pack provides smooth movement animations while rowing rather than rigid default motion.

3. Glide through calm waters or open seas while enjoying the cozy look of your roofed boat.

When you reach your destination, press your sneak key (Left Shift by default) to dismount onto land or a dock.
