Version 2.4 alpha updated the mod to Minecraft 1.4.7. Keep in mind that the sturdy boats still have the same problems as the last version.
Info:
This add-on is made up of several different modules which can be enabled or disabled at will in the config file. The complete mod uses 7 block IDs.

Sturdy Boats are available once you get the saw, and have advanced features compared to the vanilla boats. These boats don't break as easily and will require an axe to break. You can place sails, chests, and crafting tables on the boat. Sails can be dyed any of the 16 colors. Boats can be connected together with glue. Right click on a single (unconnected) boat, and then right click on the boat you want it to connect to. To disconnect boats, break them with an axe. Connected boats will split apart when broken, and single boats will drop into item form when broken. Larger collections of boats will require a stringer axe to break. Boats can transport animals wearing breeding harnesses. Larger boats will move slower than smaller ones, but you can use sails to speed them up. There are also steel boats, which work on lava. They will overheat and will need to be cooled after a few minutes of being in lava.

The chisel and handsaw are primarily used to manupulate slabs. Use a chisel on stone, sandstone, brick, stone brick, or cobblestone to convert it to a slab on the spot. Use the chisel on a slab to switch the orientation. Hold shift while using the chisel on stone brick or sandstone to change the design on the block. The handsaw works the same way as the chisel, but on planks and wool.

The weight sensor is used to detect how full the container above is. Wooden weight sensors output a redstone signel when the container above is not empty, and stone weight sensors output a signal when the container above is full. They work on most inventories (chests, dispensers, etc), liquid containers (cauldrons, juice containers), and some entities (storage minecarts). The color sensors are used to detect the color of wool or wool slabs. There are three kinds: red, green, and blue. Some colors activate more than one kind. For example, orange wool activates both red and green sensors.

Four fruit trees spawn in the world: apple, orange, grape, and banana. They are most common in jungles and oceans, but they can also be found in forests and hills. The fruit can be eaten to restore two hunger. Fertilizer can be used like bone meal on the fruit saplings. When fertilizer is used on grass blocks, it has a small chance of yielding a fruit sapling. Fertilizer is made by heating a cooked fish in a Stewing Pot or a Furnace.

Fruit juice is an early game alternative to the potion system. It is made from the four types of fruit in the mod. To make juice, put a Juice Container a few blocks below a Juice Maker, and put some water (still or flowing) above the Juice Maker. Toss some fruit in the top of the Juice Maker, and power it with mechanical power. Juice should start pouring out the bottom and start falling into the container. Right click the container with a glass bottle to obtain the juice. Juice bottles are stackable. 16 apples are required for a bottle of apple juice, 8 oranges for orange juice, 12 grapes for grape juice, and 32 bananas for banana juice. Apple juice gives heal and regen, orange clears all potion effects, grape gives haste and speed, and banana gives resistance and strength. If you have CraftGuide installed, this mod will add juice recipes to the CraftGuide.

This mod fixes the Nether so that it generates all the way to the true height limit of the world (255). The new 127 blocks of vertical space are now filled in with Netherrack and a bit of Glowstone. It also flattens the bedrock at the bottom of both worlds and the top of the Nether for that extra little bit of digging space. I recommend you disable this section if you play in a world generated before installing version 1.5 or later of this mod.
Tweaks
This mod disables the void fog and particles, and fixes the food particles for fruit and all BTW foods. These tweaks can be disabled in the config.
EDIT: The food particle fix has been removed from this mod because BTW has fixed it as of version 4.41.
Config:
Block and Item IDs can be modified in the config file, and the seperate sections of the mod can be enabled and disabled at will. The config is located in "/minecraft/config/SVConfig.cfg". It is a plain text file and can be modified with any text editor such as Notepad.
