Realistic Rowing
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Realistic Rowing
You like rowing in real life and felt like Minecraft's boating experience was lacking?
Use this mod to get a more similar experience!
Features- You now look backwards, just like in a real-life rowing boat!
- This makes for a great experience when boating with animals or in a chest boat/raft!
- moves the paddles to actually touch your hands (this is especially noticeable with multiple passengers)
- moves the player model to better fit in the boat since it's now turned the other way round
- People using this mod may have turned their head in a weird direction while boating if looking from a client without this mod. This is caused by turning the player model around to look in the other direction but since boats restrict the yaw of the head to ±105° (0° being the direction the boat is facing). Therefore people using this mod will likely look sideways when viewed by other clients without this mod.
