The bug
Mouse movement has noticeable jittering when sitting still or turning in a boat. Exiting the boat and performing the same actions results in perfectly smooth and consistent movement of the camera (high precision mouse sensor on a smooth surface is recommended, otherwise it might be more difficult to notice).
How to reproduce
Get in any type of boat
Point the crosshair to one specific point (a tree, for example)
Steer the boat side to side, while trying to keep the crosshair as still as possible
→ ➖ The camera is jittering and stuttering
:info: This issue also persists when sitting still (not moving the boat at all), and even with cinematic camera enabled.

Yes, I totally agree. It's not very easy to notice right away (and / or feel something like that with the mouse movement), but in some situations can be more noticeable and obvious than others. Maybe depends on various factors, between different players and etc. But definetly not related to specific hardware / drivers / peripherals.
This does not only happen on the boat as it seems to be an amplified version of what happens when merely moving on my end.
I have came across a mod that will fix this issue.

Still present in 26.1. What’s strange is that I don’t remember this happening before I upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11, but it definitely occurs now. Even when I launch the old 1.21.1 world I was playing in previously, it occurs there. With all the mods I used before, or just playing stock 26.1 with no mods from the Minecraft launcher. Many thanks to Damian for linked to a mod that fixes this! It’s maddening.
I tried chaning every video setting to fix it. I also tried changing mouse settings. I also updated to latest GPU drivers for my 2080 Ti. Nothing fixes the issue of horizontal camera judder when looking while on a boat. To be clear, I can turn the boat itself with no camera judder (A and D keys), it only happens when moving the camera using the mouse; even if the boat itself is still.
It isn't actually a duplicate of MC-122211. That was issue in 17w47b and it was fixed in 17w48a. The camera and the Boats are not jittering or having any issues when controlling in 17w48a.
This is another issue / bug related to crosshair / mouse movement while in a Boat (standing still or moving).
