Minecraft:Boat with Chest

Boats with chests (including bamboo rafts with chests) are Minecraft:boats with single Minecraft:chests occupying their passenger seats. A boat's chest can be accessed by Template:Control the boat while Template:Control, or while riding it.

Obtaining

A boat with chest can be directly retrieved by attacking it, as it drops itself in item form, along with its contents.

Minecraft:Tools and Minecraft:weapons with damage above 4 can instantly destroy a boat with chest in one hit.Template:Only

Usage

A boat with chest can be used for the transportation of players, mobs and items, or as fuel when Minecraft:smelting.

Fuel

A boat with chest can be used as fuel in a Minecraft:furnace, lasting 60 seconds and smelting up to 6 items.

Transportation

Boats with chests can carry only one entity while regular boats can carry up to two. The chest occupies the passenger seat.

Item storage

File:Boat with Chest GUI.png

The GUI of a boat with chest.

The inventory of the boat with chest has the same amount of slots as a single chest. Its inventory can be accessed by Template:Control and Template:Control with the boat with chest, Template:Control with the part of the boat with chest that actually contains the chest while another player or entity is inside the boat, or by opening the player's Template:Control while inside the boat. This means that the player cannot access armor slots without exiting the boat.

When a boat with chest moves above, underneath, or beside a Minecraft:hopper, its inventory is filled or drained accordingly. The size of its hitbox allows a boat with chest to be placed above up to nine hoppers so that it can evenly split its items nine ways.

Piglin

As with other chests, opening or breaking a boat with chest causes any nearby piglin(s) to attack the player.

Sounds

Boats with chests use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

History

Trivia

• A Minecraft:chest is short enough that a boat with chest falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
• The chest texture is 12×12 pixels, rather than the 14×14 pixel texture the block uses. This is not the case with the Minecraft:minecart with chest.
• Despite the minecart with chest using the Christmas texture, the boat with chest still uses the default chest texture during Christmas time.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
