Question

Can the boat sink?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

You can't push them underwater, even if multiple mobs are standing on it or if the boat is damaged. However, boats will sink if water pours over them (such as a waterfall or downward current).

Question

Will the boat really go sailing?

Community Answer

Place it like you would place a block, but on water. Put your crosshair on the boat, press the button that makes you place blocks, then sail by using the walking controls.

Question

How do I make a ship?

Community Answer

You can just build one with blocks, but it wouldn't move. To make it move, you have to download a mod.

Question

How do I get a mob in a boat?

Community Answer

Place a boat down then push or hit the mob into the boat. It works best if the boat and mob are on land.

Question

How do I put a block in the boat or in a chest in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Just mine the block (if bedrock, than go to creative). Then collect it, and right click the chest and place the block in the chest. Put the boat in water or land, build a tower beside the boat, and make an upside down L shape. For the last block, put a sand block, and the sand should fall in the boat.

Do you see those sort of curved arrows? Those are to turn, to use the normal moving method like you are walking.
