Better Boat Controls

The boat controls personally seem horrible to me. Having to hold down left and right to go forward is personally a pain to do. Maybe we could have something similar to the java version controls so we just have to move forward to go forward.

    I like the current controls better for maneuvering, but they seem to be difficult for reversing and moving on ice. Regardless, this is very likely to change in the next version (6th item in changes):

    Since the boat controls HAVE been changed, perhaps this post could either be eliminated or transferred to an "Implemented" category. This would be true also of any others that have been implemented.

    With the better controls we could actually use boats

    I have a big problem backing with boats...you press left to move right and vice versa...inverted controls. Feels completely unintuitive imo, and wish there was an option for this.
    I'd also like an option to automatically enable 3rd person when getting into boats.
