Balanced Boats
Balanced Boats makes boats an unbalanced abomination, this plugin is for Bukkit, Spigot and Paper and will cause Blue Ice to spawn under all boats being ridden by a player, it will also give those players buffs (Regeneration, Resistance, Saturation) for the duration of their time in the boat - and destroy all blocks they move towards as they reach them. I do not suggest you use this plugin on a long-lasting world but for a challenge or as part of a mash-up this could be a welcome addition.
Installation Guide
To install this plugin you must be running Spigot Bukkit or Paper, then once you have run the server once to create your main directories you can simply drag and drop it into "plugins" and after a restart or reload, it is ready to go out of the box, enter a boat and you're away.
