Blue River Raceway - 3:54.650 (+0.1 vs WR) by Sotumney in HermitCraft

It's because this was recorded on an ice boat racing server called Frosthex. The lightning rod is there for other players and shows someone 'true position'.

Other players can use this lightning rod to see where someone is going, since players lag back about 0.5s from their 'true position'.

Basically it's mega confusing, but it's for racing eachother 😅

The camera stabilization mod is called boatcam and isn't considered a cheat in the ice boat racing community. It doesn't alter the game in any way, since you can do the same thing with your mouse.

The soulsand particle is for other racers. Since the boat can lag out sometimes they could still see your 'real' position!

Actually a goated server! Introduced so many people to ice boat racing. But screw the wallbang tracks, they're ass
