Cherry Boat with Chest is a pink transport item that pairs a drivable boat with a 27-slot chest in the passenger seat. Minecraft players craft one Cherry Boat with Chest by placing a single chest and a single cherry boat anywhere on the crafting grid — a shapeless recipe that outputs exactly one item. The cherry boat itself costs five cherry planks, and a chest costs eight planks of any wood, so the whole hull needs a modest cherry harvest. Cherry Boat with Chest counts as renewable (you can keep crafting new hulls from farmed cherry wood) and arrived with the 1.20 update — Java 1.20 and Bedrock 1.20.0.

Sneak and use the Cherry Boat with Chest to open the hold, or open the same storage from inside while riding. The chest occupies the passenger seat, so a boat that normally carries two entities becomes single-seat cargo transport. A hopper fills or drains the hold whenever the hull passes above, underneath, or beside the hopper, and the wide hitbox lets one Cherry Boat with Chest park over nine hoppers and split cargo nine ways. Boat travel burns no hunger and cancels fall damage completely, and since Java 1.21 a lead can drag the loaded hull. Attacking the boat recalls everything: Cherry Boat with Chest drops as an item together with its contents, and any tool or weapon dealing more than 4 damage breaks the hull in a single hit.
