SmoothBoat is a Minecraft server plugin for Java Edition that improves boat movement on flowing water and uneven water levels. Boats can climb small changes in height more naturally, reducing awkward stops, jolts, and movement glitches during riverside exploration or canal travel.
Designed for Paper, Purpur, and Folia, the plugin offers configurable physics settings, including correction strength, damping, vertical speed, sampling range, and the option to ignore empty boats. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for servers seeking a small, vanilla friendly transportation improvement without adding new items or complex mechanics.
