PhysicsLib - Solid boats and entities is a Vintage Story mod by Davis99 and Comrade_Toothpik. PhysicsLib adds solid entity collisions to Vintage Story, making the vanilla sailboat walkable and enabling modded entities with dynamic physical shapes.
Why this mod is worth installing
This library is useful for players who want walkable boats and for modders building entities with real collision geometry. It is primarily a dependency rather than a standalone content mod.
What PhysicsLib - Solid boats and entities adds
PhysicsLib introduces the dynamic-physics entity behavior. When attached to an entity, it builds a collision shape from cubes in that model’s shape file and stores the result for reuse by other instances.
The included effect is most visible on the vanilla sailboat: its body becomes solid enough to walk across instead of behaving like a purely decorative or non-solid entity. The system is designed to support more entities through other mods.
For asset creators and modders, cube selection can be narrowed with wildcard selectors, so decorative parts do not automatically become obstacles. The behavior must be applied on both client and server, while conflicting ellipsoidal repulsion behavior should be removed.
