In 1.13 a block called blue ice is being added to the game, boats go 160m/s top speed on them, boat racing has evolved into fzero then i guess, time to design some highspeed mania tracks xD

It is already incredibly fast. This will really make boat racing turn into an extreme sport.

Also, the idea of a boat racing server for ORE keeps getting more and more plausible.

Lol ik, before we know it boats will have gear shifting and all that
A boat has only two paddles, NOT A MANUAL Angry
im almost worried it will be too fast for existing tracks lol

Paddle shifting is a thing though...
After testing it seems as though all the new ice does is reduce friction to allow the boat to reach its max acceleration, but provide no acceleration boost.

What this means is you can accelerate really fast in a straight line but slowing back down by drifting is much harder, it seems like.

So i'm skeptical that this will be very useful for corners, but on straights it will be fun.
We need OREBoats
