Through The Lily Pads Gently Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do lily pads still break when I hit them with a boat?
No. With this mod installed, boats gently push lily pads aside instead of destroying them. The lily pads will move out of your path and remain in the water.
Can I control which direction the lily pads get pushed?
Lily pads are pushed in the direction your boat is traveling. You steer your boat normally, and the lily pads respond naturally to the boat's momentum.
Do the lily pads come back to their original position?
Yes, lily pads float back to their resting position after your boat passes. They don't stay displaced permanently.
Will this mod affect my lily pad farm or decorative water builds?
Your lily pad layouts are now safe from accidental destruction while boating. You can travel through decorated water areas without worrying about breaking the lily pads you've placed.
Does this work with all types of boats?
The mod affects standard boat interactions with lily pads. Check that you're using regular boats rather than modded variants if you experience unexpected behavior.
What happens if I'm standing on a lily pad and a boat comes toward me?
The lily pad beneath you will be pushed aside by the boat, just like any other lily pad. You may be displaced along with it or pushed into the water depending on the collision.
Does this mod change lily pad growth or spawning?
No, this mod only changes how boats interact with existing lily pads. Lily pad generation and growth mechanics remain unchanged.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This is a lightweight mod designed to have minimal performance impact. It only modifies boat-to-lily-pad interactions without adding heavy calculations.
Can I use this mod with other mods that change water or boat mechanics?
Most mods should work together, but conflicts can occur if another mod heavily modifies boat physics or lily pad behavior. Test your mod combination in a world to check for issues.
Do I need to enable this in mod settings, or does it work automatically?
Once installed, the mod works automatically—boats will gently push lily pads without any configuration needed. Check your mod settings if you want to adjust or disable the behavior.
