# Boat Commands

Give players complete control of their boats through a clean, interactive UI.

Boat Commands automatically displays an in-game control panel whenever an authorized player mounts a supported boat, allowing them to manage important boat functions with a single click instead of chat commands.

Designed to feel like part of Rust's interface, the plugin keeps essential controls easily accessible while remaining lightweight and responsive.
