Boat Item View Mod is a client-side only Minecraft mod that allows you to view your held items whilst sitting in a moving boat. This is functionality is normally not possible in the base game. Any items being displayed in the hand when the boat is moving still cannot be used. This mod only deals with rendering, it does not change vanilla serverside logic.
Features:
- Toggle the ability to render hand items when sitting in a moving boat.
- Define the type of items to be rendered when sitting in a moving boat.
- Compatibility with Cloth Config and ModMenu.
