Overview:
This datapack was created for Pleasenotme's Speed-Packing datapack contest. I whipped out this pack in a couple hours (it was painful, so I'll keep this description short). You can craft a sailboat with one white banner and an oak boat in a crafting table. The wind shifts twice each day- one phase is empty, and the rest are in all the four cardinal directions. Your boat, when on water, will automatically blow in this direction when you're not in it. Apart from that, it's a normal boat.

Customization: You can customize the boat in two cool ways- by changing the boat's wood color, and by changing its sail pattern: you can even give the sail a skull-and-crossbones to give yourself some extra pirate clout. To change the boat's color, drop one wood plank of the respective color you want onto the boat; it should change immediately. Right-click on the boat with any banner pattern to change the way the sail looks. Unfortunately, you can't change the base color of the sail or the pattern.

Item Storage: You can actually store a single item by right-clicking it on the mast, then right-clicking again to remove it. Pretty nifty. Just be careful breaking the boat while there's something in storage, because it will get deleted.

WARNING: The boat cannot move with the wind when a player is in it. I know this is basically an essential feature, but Mojang hates boat mechanics, so no matter what I tried, I couldn't get an automatically moving boat. Some day, perhaps I'll be able to finally fix that....

I'm really sorry to hear that! I'm unsure how this could've happened given that this datapack's scope isn't too broad, but it likely has something to do with the datapack only being compatible with versions 1.19 and below.

I'd advise trying to uninstall the datapack directly from the world folder and only try re-opening the world then. Sometimes Minecraft can get a little cranky when it sees "broken" datapacks installed on a world. Hope this helps!

No, it should only be happening for Sailboat items specifically. This could be a compatibility issue with 1.20, it's only confirmed to work in versions below 1.19 at the moment.

A question and a suggestion:



Question: Does it work on 1.20 and 1.20.1?



Suggestion: There could be also chest sailboats.

I haven't checked, but most likely. I've been really busy with other projects and haven't had the time to ensure my datapacks are compatible with 1.20 lol

This looks like exactly what I was looking for!
Just one question, does it work with boats with chests in the back? That would be epic.
I will download it either way, because I've been wanting something like this for a while.
Thank you!

At the moment it doesn't. Chest boats are only able to contain the pilot and not a passenger, which wouldn't work with the functionality of the datapack. The pack is a little bit broken, but hopefully you enjoy it lol
