# Buoy

A lifebuoy that floats at the surface. Tow it behind a boat or just sit in it.

## Recipe

![Buoy recipe](https://1371052705-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FV22FKtcNjWW37kUFLLdR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e37c06bf38c45ab4de13444707f2fc17bd659573%2Fbuoy.png?alt=media)

## How to use it

* **Right-click:** climb into the ring. Sneak to get back out.
* **Right-click with a Rope:** ties the rope to its handle instead of seating you. Tie the other end to your boat to tow it.

Once dropped in the water it stays at the surface, whatever the rope does to it. Pulled under, it pops back up.

## Towing

Towed at speed, the buoy skips off the surface in bursts of up to three bounces, as high as three blocks. Climb in and have a friend drive the boat.

## Good to know

* How fast it comes back up and how far it can be dragged under: `buoyMaxRiseSpeed` and `buoyMaxSinkSpeed`.

**Details to look for**

* In first person you see your own body in the ring: leaning back, arms up on the handle, legs in the air. The head is hidden so it does not block the view.
* Your arms and legs flail more and more with speed, and kick out on every bounce.
* Every bounce shakes the camera in a random direction, and speed lines blow across the edges of the screen from about 3 blocks per second, at full strength around 9.
* Hitting, breaking or landing on a buoy throws red and white wool bits.
