This is not so much a suggestion, and a question.

We all know that ships, although planned, are not likely to be added any time soon due to the fact that they are hard to code. I assume that this difficulty is due to that fact that they are much larger than boats, and would ideally allow players and NPC's to walk on them, as Mevans seemed to have no difficulty making barrels rideable. However, sailing to Meneltarma, or even going up a river in the cardboard box that Mojang calls a boat simply looks and feels to derpy for me to stomach in such a detailed and well made mod as this. So as a more realistic and professional solution, I propose rafts. Ideally, these would simply be a retexture of the vanilla boat, with a different crafting recipe (would probably use logs and reeds and such.) Certain factions (Tauredain,) could even have their own rafts.

Is this possible.
