Outboard motors for Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition. Clamp one onto a boat – or build a raft out of any blocks, put a motor or three on it, and take your house boat, your floating farm or your pirate ship out to sea.
Which one do I need? Playing on an iPad, iPhone, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or Minecraft for Windows? That is Bedrock Edition – take the first download. Playing on a computer with the Minecraft Java Edition launcher (Mac, Windows or Linux)? Take the Java download. Not sure? If you bought Minecraft in the App Store or Google Play, it is Bedrock.
Latest version: 0.1.0
Running a server? Use the separate behavior pack and resource pack. Xbox, PlayStation and Switch can’t import add-ons from files, but you can join a world or Realm that has the add-on.
On a server, replace the add-on’s folders in behavior_packs and resource_packs with the new ones and restart it.
Delete the old Outboards jar from your mods folder and put the new one in its place. Keep only one version in the folder. If the new version needs a newer Fabric API or GeckoLib, update those too.
Four outboards, from a silent electric trolling motor to a 90 hp V4. Hover or tap a picture to see it on a boat.
A little two-stroke for a rowing boat or a small raft. It sips fuel: a lump of coal lasts two and a half minutes at full throttle.
A proper four-stroke. It makes a boat plane over the water, and it pushes a raft of a few dozen blocks at a good pace.
A big V4 for speed boats and big rafts. Very fast on a boat, and the one to fit to a raft of a hundred blocks or more. Thirsty: bring blaze rods.
A quiet electric motor on a long shaft, charged with redstone. Slow but silent: fish and animals on the shore don’t hear you coming.
A raft is any blocks you like, joined together and floating on the water: planks, logs, a little house with a chest and a bed, a farm, a lighthouse. When it sets off, the whole thing goes with you.
In Bedrock Edition the raft moves one block at a time and turns in quarter turns, holding A or D. In Java Edition it glides and turns smoothly, and is put back down as blocks, lined up with the world, when you stop.
Sneak (Shift) to get out of a boat, or to stop and moor a raft.
| Bedrock | Java Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Motorboat | W: throttle · S: slow down and reverse · A/D: steer · Sneak: get out | W: throttle · S: slow down and reverse · A/D: steer · Shift: get out |
| Raft | W: throttle · S: slow down and reverse · hold A/D: turn a quarter turn · Sneak: stop and moor | W: throttle · S: slow down and reverse · A/D: steer · Shift: stop and moor |
A full tank is 12 units. Coal and charcoal give 3, a blaze rod 6; the electric motor takes redstone (1) or a block of redstone (9). Bigger motors burn faster.
The heavier the raft, the slower it goes and turns. Several motors add up: put two or three on the stern of a big raft.
Chests keep what is in them, and players and animals standing on the deck travel with the raft.
A raft stops when it hits the shore, a pier or another raft. Back off with S and steer round it.
The electric trolling motor makes no noise: the one to take fishing, or hunting along the shore.
Hit a motorboat a few times to get the boat and the motor back. Break a motor on a raft to get it back as an item.
