Ankkuri is a Bukkit plugin for 1.11.2 and above. Its sole purpose is to restrict the placing and mounting of boats on non-water surfaces. Optionally, it can restrict it to just ice surfaces, to allow for ice boat tracks and nothing else.

The name ankkuri is a Finnish term, meaning anchor. This plugin was written for PsychoLynx for the Pelitcraft community.

Behavior

By default, Ankkuri will block the following:

• Placement of boats on non-water surfaces - Makes it impossible for players to place boats on surfaces such as roads, and other inappropriate places.
• Entering of grounded boats - If a boat is grounded, players will be unable to enter it.
• Capturing of mobs by grounded boats - This prevents boats being used as wilderness traps.

If configured, Ankkuri can also:

• Auto-eject from grounded boats - If players (and, optionally, mobs) are in a boat that becomes grounded, they can be auto-ejected if they don't have the right bypass permissions.
• Auto-destroy grounded boats - Any boat, regardless of passengers inside, can be popped off into an item drop when grounded.

Configuration

On first start, Ankkuri will generate its default config file in its plugin folder. You can change this config and then do /ankkuri to reload the changes. No server restart needed.

The configuration file itself is well commented; please read it for help what the options do.

Permissions

You can grant any player or group the following permissions to bypass the blocks:

• ankkuri.bypass.place - Allows player to place boats anywhere
• ankkuri.bypass.placeonice - Allows player to place boats on ice and water only
• ankkuri.bypass.ride - Allows player to enter boats that are on any block
• ankkuri.bypass.rideonice - Allows player to enter boats that are on ice, water and air only
• ankkuri.bypass.* - Bypasses all of the above
• ankkuri.reload - Allows player to reload Ankkuri's config
• ankkuri.* - Grants all of the above

All these permissions are automatically granted to opped players.
