How Rocking Boats Work

Understanding the Rocking Animation

Rocking Boats adds a gentle swaying motion to boats and rafts while they float freely on water. This animation plays automatically whenever a boat is unoccupied and not touching land, creating a more natural and immersive sailing experience.

The rocking effect stops in two situations: when your boat reaches shore or when a player or mob enters it. This ensures smooth gameplay during actual travel and prevents distracting motion while you're actively using the boat.

Since this is a resource pack, it only changes visuals and animations—it doesn't affect boat mechanics, speed, or functionality. Simply install it to see boats gently rock on the water surface.
