“`json5
\n{
\n “version”: 7, \/\/ just ignore this, this is for migration purposes only
\n “config”: {
\n “stepHeight”: 0.35, \/\/ The number of blocks you are going to be boosted when triggering a boost.
\n “playerEjectTicks”: 200.0, \/\/ The ticks the game waits before kicking you out of a boat after the player lost control.
\n “boosting”: {

\n “UNDER_FLOWING_WATER”
\n ], \/\/ Sets the preferences under which states the boat should be boosted.
\n “allowedSupportingBlocks”: [], \/\/ Defines the blocks the boat has to lie on to be able to be boosted. If the list is empty, there is no restriction.
\n “allowedCollidingBlocks”: [], \/\/ Defines the blocks the boat has to collide with to be able to be boosted. If the list is empty, there is no restriction.
\n “onlyForPlayers”: true, \/\/ Toggles, whether a boat should only be boosted when carrying a player.
\n “extraCollisionDetectionRange”: 0.5 \/\/ Changes the detection range of a collision. Increasing this will boost a boat x blocks before actually touching the block it approaches. You may encounter weird behavior when changing this value to big numbers.
\n },
\n “keybind”: {
\n “allowJumpKeybind”: true, \/\/ Toggles, whether a player should be able to jump with a boat via a keybind.
\n “keybindJumpHeightMultiplier”: 1.5, \/\/ Specifies the multiplier that will be applied to the jump height when a player uses the keybind to jump.
