Icebreaker Mod is a Vintage Story mod by Benata. Icebreaker lets equipped Vintage Story sailboats and rafts smash through frozen water. Craft a metal figurehead and keep winter routes open.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is for players who rely on boats for winter travel, trading, or exploration. It is especially useful when frozen lakes would otherwise make a sailboat unusable.
What Icebreaker Mod adds
Icebreaker adds a reinforced prow upgrade for the vanilla sailboat and raft. Craft a metal figurehead from a wooden figurehead and metal components, then attach it to the vessel before setting out.
Once equipped, the figurehead automatically breaks ice blocks directly in front of the moving boat, leaving an open channel behind it. The feature also works while a boat is still being built.
Copper, tin bronze, bismuth bronze, black bronze, iron, meteoric iron, and steel are supported. Metal choice does not change the ice-breaking strength, while bear, wolf, skull, and sea monster figurehead styles provide visual variety.
