How do you make a custom boat? I don't see Terraform Boat Type.

We are no longer maintaining a separate registry; it's not needed since vanilla split up their boats. Instead, Terraform API is now just an easy way to use the vanilla registries. For the basic use case of a boat and chest boat, all you need to do is call the item helper to register both items and entities, and then call the client helper to register all textures, model layers, and entity renderers for the boat type.

F.e. common code:

public class TraverseBoats {
	public static final Identifier FIR = Identifier.of(Traverse.MOD_ID, "fir");
	public static final Item FIR_BOAT = TerraformBoatItemHelper.registerBoatItem(FIR, false);
	public static final Item FIR_CHEST_BOAT = TerraformBoatItemHelper.registerBoatItem(FIR, true);

	public static void register() {
	}
}

and client side:

public class TraverseClient implements ClientModInitializer {
	@Override
	public void onInitializeClient() {
		TerraformBoatClientHelper.registerModelLayers(TraverseBoats.FIR);
	}
}

Assuming your boat Identifiers were similar to vanilla (f.e. mahogany_chest_boat and chest_boat/mahogany), you don't need to move your textures around, either.

Note that the Identifier you give the new API methods identifies the boat type as a whole, f.e. traverse:fir not traverse:fir_chest_boat. The API will prepend/append the right things for individual Identifiers. This also means it is now possible to register both boat and raft for the same wood type in Terraform boat API.

Thanks!

Right now the API doesn't provide it, because in theory you generally don't need it.

If you need the key for some reason, you can do something like this:

Item boatItem = TerraformBoatItemHelper.registerBoatItem(woodTypeId, false);
RegistryKey<Item> boatKey = Registries.ITEM.getKey(boatItem).orElseThrow();
