Acacia Boat with Chest is an acacia-wood boat whose passenger seat holds a chest with 27 item slots — the same storage as a single chest. One chest combined with one acacia boat on a crafting grid yields one Acacia Boat with Chest, and the ingredients fit any arrangement. Attacking the boat drops the Acacia Boat with Chest item together with the full cargo, and any tool or weapon dealing more than 4 damage breaks the boat in a single hit. Acacia Boat with Chest is renewable, does not catch fire, and never stacks, so every boat fills a dedicated inventory slot. Boats with chests joined Minecraft in Java Edition 1.19 and reached full availability in Bedrock Edition 1.19.0.

Acacia Boat with Chest transports players, mobs, and items across water, and the chest in the passenger seat leaves room for exactly one rider, while a regular boat carries up to two entities. A sneak-interaction with Acacia Boat with Chest opens the 27-slot inventory, and a rider reaches the same inventory from the player inventory screen. A hopper above, below, or beside an Acacia Boat with Chest fills or drains the cargo, and the wide hitbox lets one boat sit above up to nine hoppers, splitting the contents nine ways. Furnaces burn Acacia Boat with Chest as fuel for 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items. Opening or breaking an Acacia Boat with Chest angers nearby piglins, just like any other container.
