About

The Birch Boat is a rideable boat made from birch wood planks and a shovel. It floats on water and moves in the direction the player faces, making it useful for crossing oceans, navigating rivers, or traveling between islands. Boats are not stackable and break when destroyed, requiring a new craft to replace them.

Spawn one with /give @p minecraft:birch_boat 1. Players can enter by right-clicking and exit by pressing the sneak key (default Shift). A boat holds only the rider; use a second boat or other transport for passengers.
