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.
BoatHandsFree is a Minecraft client-side mod that removes operation restrictions while rowing a boat.
In vanilla Minecraft, players cannot attack, use items, or interact with entities and blocks while rowing a boat, which can lead to a negative gameplay experience.
This mod removes these restrictions, allowing players to attack, use items, and interact with entities and blocks while rowing a boat, making boat operations more flexible.
