Ice Boat Nerf Reforged Mod (1.20.5, 1.20.1) is a Forge-based rework of the classic Ice Boat Nerf mod, created to eliminate the overpowered speed boost boats receive when sliding over ice blocks. In vanilla Minecraft, boats can travel at extremely high speeds when placed on packed ice or blue ice, which can be fun but also unrealistic and unbalanced, especially in survival or multiplayer environments.
This mod reinvents that mechanic by introducing realistic friction when boats travel across frozen surfaces, making ice feel like a slippery but not frictionless terrain. Ideal for server owners and players who want a more grounded and immersive Minecraft experience.
Features:
- Removes Ice Speed Exploit: Boats no longer shoot across ice like rockets, eliminating the well-known ice boat highway trick.
- Realistic Friction on Ice: Ice behaves similarly to rough terrain, making boat movement more consistent with other block types.
- Modded for Newer Minecraft Versions: Built specifically for Forge 1.20.5 and 1.20.1 to ensure compatibility with modern modpacks and gameplay.
- Perfect for Realism Builds: A great fit for modpacks or servers that prioritize balanced travel and immersive world mechanics.
- Simple Yet Effective: No configuration needed just install and enjoy slower, more realistic boat travel over ice.

Why use Ice Boat Nerf Reforged Mod?
If you’re tired of seeing players zip across the world at lightning speed using ice boat roads, or if you’re building a world that values immersion over speedrunning mechanics, this mod is for you. Ice Boat Nerf Reforged enforces a logical speed cap on boat movement across ice, helping preserve challenge, exploration, and realism without removing boats or ice mechanics altogether.
FAQs
Does this mod affect boat speed on water?
No. It only changes how boats behave on ice blocks like packed ice and blue ice. Regular water travel remains unchanged.
Can I use this mod on a server?
Yes. It’s designed for use on both single-player and multiplayer Forge servers, making it ideal for SMP balancing.
Is there a configuration file?
No configuration is necessary. The mod works right out of the box, enforcing the new boat behavior automatically.
Does it support Fabric or NeoForge?
This version is specifically a Forge port. For Fabric support, check the original Ice Boat Nerf mod.
Can I still build ice roads with this mod?
You can, but they will no longer give you high-speed travel. It’s now purely for aesthetics or themed builds.
