Jumpy Boats in FTB Evolution 2

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

Jumpy Boats is a small quality-of-life mod that lets you make small jumps while you ride a boat. That means you can travel from water onto land and even scale small slopes, without having to get out and drag the boat around.^[1]

It is especially handy if you move animals or villagers by boat. The mod's own description pitches it as an end to the pain of transporting them across water and onto shore.^[1]

Who it is for

Anyone who gets around by boat. You don't need any setup, and it adds no recipes or progression steps of its own to learn. You install it, hop in a boat and jump.^[1]

Version in this pack

This pack ships Jumpy Boats 1.21.0-1.0.5. It was first included in an earlier release of the pack, so it is a long-standing part of the mod list.^[2]

Unverified The sources I have don't show any quests, guidebook entries or progression stage tied to Jumpy Boats, and they don't place it on the ATM Star path. Treat it as a standalone convenience mod and not a progression milestone. The sources also don't confirm any config options or a specific jump height in this pack.

Good news: there's nothing to craft to get started with Jumpy Boats. It adds no items of its own, so you don't need to make anything first. Once the mod is in the pack, it works while you're riding a boat.^[1]

The mod lets you make small jumps while in a boat. That means you can travel from the water onto land and even scale small slopes, instead of getting stuck at the shoreline.^[1]

Why it's worth using early

The mod's own description says it's meant to make moving animals and villagers by boat much less painful. If you plan to ferry mobs across a river or lake to a base, it saves you from having to dig out a landing spot.^[1]

What to do first

1. Get into a boat, using any boat you already have.^[1]
2. Head for the shore and try hopping from the water onto land.^[1]
3. Try a small slope next to see how far the jumps carry you.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't confirm which key triggers the jump, how high or far it goes, or whether the pack changes any config values for this mod. No quests or recipes in this pack involve it, so check the in-game controls menu for the keybind. This site does hold FTB Evolution 2's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Jumpy Boats has one feature, so this section is short. The sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for it. All it does is let you make small jumps while riding a boat.^[1]

Those jumps let you travel from water onto land and even scale small slopes. The mod's own description says this makes transporting animals and villagers by boat much less painful.^[1]

Jump height settings

The mod's server config controls how high the boat jumps, with a separate option for each situation. The pack sets both values in the config file, and both accept a range from 0.0 up to 2.147483647E9.^[3]

• Common.jumpHeightInWater is the jump height modifier while the boat is in water. The pack sets it to 0.4.^[3]
• Common.jumpHeightOnLand is the jump height modifier while the boat is on land. The pack sets it to 0.3.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't explain which key triggers the jump, whether it works with every boat type, or whether any other mod interacts with it. Check in-game before relying on those details.

Jumpy Boats lets you make small jumps while riding a boat, so you can travel from water onto land and even scale small slopes. The pack's config for it lists two options, both in the server config file, and they set how high the boat jumps.^[1][3]

• Common.jumpHeightInWater is the jump height modifier while the boat is in water. This pack sets it to 0.4.^[3]
• Common.jumpHeightOnLand is the jump height modifier while the boat is on land. This pack sets it to 0.3.^[3]

Both options start at a minimum of 0.0, so you can't set a negative value. In this pack the water value (0.4) is higher than the land value (0.3).^[3]

Unverified The sources don't list the mod's default values for these two options, so we can't confirm whether this pack changed them. Treat 0.4 and 0.3 as this pack's current values only.
