Q&A
Where can I run this mod?
>...You can run this mod on both Client and Server side.
Does everyone need mod installed to join my Server?
>...No! Only dedicated server needs to have mod installed, other players can join without mod installed. This includes singleplayer worlds connected with LAN or Essentials etc. where only host needs mod installed.
Will this mod work with modded?
>...There is a uncommon chance that boats or ships from different mods will trigger thunder because my mod checks for vanilla boats, only way is if devs made them a part of Boat class.
Are you going to make compatibility with other mods in the future?
>...I might make compatibility with other modded ships at some point, but don't expect it in near future.
Any incompatibilities or dependencies?
>...No incompatibilities to current date by my knowledge. No dependencies either, just put the jar file in mods folder.
