Since I don't have access to the blog and will not for the foreseeable future, I made this post here.
Since the 1.5 update is coming, it would be way too boring to release a straight port. Problem is, Alblaka has been too busy to bring us new content, so how about I bring my typically addon-merging content. This time, the victim is CiderBoats, whose author admitted laziness and wanted me to pick it up.
The Rubber Dinghy makes rough rides easier. While wooden boats break into pieces when crashed, these ones - despite being less crash resistant - get a little bit torn, but luckily a piece of rubber is enough to bring it back in action.
For your all-around boating needs, the Carbon Fiber Canoe is quite a bit harder to crash, and if it does, it always drops itself. Useful for laggy SMP or navigating rivers.
And finally, for those who really like crossing an ocean, the Electric Boat drains energy from your batpack, but while doing that, it provides roughly 50% faster acceleration and twice the top speed. While the refined iron shell makes it slightly more resistant than a carbon fiber canoe, it is too heavy for Steve to push by himself.
