Cargo Boats devlog: Motorboats can navigate to bubble columns/drops to ride up or down with the help of pathfinding buoys

Fun fact, the buoys are unaware of the existence of the bubble columns/drops; the motorboat just paths to the location specified by the buoy and the bubble column does the rest of the work.

Also, motorboats can path on land and (with an upgrade) in lava as well. One could potentially try to get boats to travel through e.g. nether portals as well with a similar technique. This could be useful for inter-dimensional item/fluid transport.

This mod is currently available on CurseForge if you want to try it out, but I am still waiting on Modrinth to approve the project. Link is in the comments
