Your'e right BillyGalbreath. Thats why i mentioned they could try to see if it makes any difference. Always a try worth, right?

What does that accomplish LootGoblin78 ? It defaults to that value already if not present in the file.

DUCATISLO and CaveSalamander

You could try to alter the modinfo.json and add the line

"side": "Universal",

in between line 4 and 5 for instance.

Yeah sadly does not work with sailboats on a server, ver 1.20.4, it only slows down turning speed. Verified via statusHud that forward speed is unchanged from vanilla ; if you change the config for sailboat speed to be 1.0 turning speed returns to normal as well.

FYI to anyone trying to find a way to change boat and raft speed in singleplayer without using a mod:

I edited "boat.json" found within C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Vintagestory\assets\survival\entities\water and changed

speedMultiplierByType: {
"boat-raft-*": 1.0,
"boat-sailed-*": 1.2

TO:

speedMultiplierByType: {
"boat-raft-*": 1.3,
"boat-sailed-*": 1.6

This gave me a noticeable speed boost without seeming to change turn speed or feeling completely ridiculous or OP. I have not unlocked the elk and cannot confirm if it works with these changes. Do so at your own risk.

I also use the Rivers mod and changed river speed to either 2.0 or 1.5 which lets me go upriver using both a raft and a boat. It is slow but I felt it was balanced enough for a improvised solution such as this.

I host a private ad hoc server for a handful of other players and it worked in this case as well.

This was on version 1.20.4

Everything works great, is configurable and editable. Thank you.
It would be nice if all possible boat, raft and canoe options were added to the config.
We use your mod and canoe mod on the server.
So it would be cool if the raft and canoe were regulated by more than one variable. Thank you.

i tried it on a server i own but didnt work only slowed down the turning speed

fair mod

Seems to be compatible with the canoes mod! Seems to pull off the raft speed multiplier, so that's convenient. c:

And just so y'all are aware - yes, you do have to boot up a world once before the configuration file appears in the folder!

Also wondering if the reduced turning speed is intentional? As mentioned below, the 4x speed seems to cause issues keeping a tied elk on board for me also - will test with a lower speed setting.

Just what i have been looking for, thanks for the work!

Only thing different after downloading is the turn speed of the sailboats are maybe 4x slower. I thought it might've been unmentioned and added for balancing the newfound speed? The speed also seemed like normal though so I tried going into mod files .json but couldn't find where exactly to edit that said "SailboatSpeedMultiplier" (Iv'e never opened a mod folder to edit before so some opened files looked like a bunch of gobbledegook I didn't want to mess with) can anyone else explain it to me in stupid terms?

RivenDelver :

Thank you very much for the warning. And what speed of the boat do you have set? Default is 4x. Have you tried changing the speed in the config file?

Not a criticism, I am beyond grateful that this mod exists at all, but a heads-up for those considering using the mod: when speedboating around with my (admittedly untied) elk, the elk was having trouble staying in the boat (was flickering on and off) and then disappeared from my world.  I will have to buy another.  Worth it though for the boat speed on my ocean world.

Oh my God!!! Now I want to live and play again!!!! Savior!!!!

Ok I love this, thank you! Do you know if this changes the speed of the canoe from this mod: https://mods.vintagestory.at/canoemod

Hallo o/ Nice to see something like that! Is it possible to make a config for each kind of raft/boat to have own multiplayer? For example like this?
