Dark Oak Boat with Chest is a boat with a single chest fastened into the passenger seat, added to Minecraft in Java Edition 1.19 and Bedrock Edition 1.19.0. The recipe takes one Chest and one Dark Oak Boat anywhere on the crafting grid and yields one Dark Oak Boat with Chest. The cargo space matches a single chest at 27 slots and opens while sneaking, while riding, or through the rider's inventory screen. Attacking Dark Oak Boat with Chest drops the boat together with the entire cargo, so loot survives dismantling; tools and weapons dealing more than 4 damage destroy Dark Oak Boat with Chest in one hit. Dark Oak Boat with Chest does not stack and is listed as renewable (crafting can be repeated endlessly).
On the water, Dark Oak Boat with Chest trades the second seat for cargo: boats with chests carry a single entity, while regular boats carry up to two. A spare Dark Oak Boat with Chest works as furnace fuel, burning for 60 seconds and smelting up to 6 items. For logistics, Dark Oak Boat with Chest passing above, underneath, or beside a hopper gets loaded or unloaded automatically, and the wide hitbox lets the boat sit over up to nine hoppers to split cargo evenly nine ways. Opening or breaking Dark Oak Boat with Chest near piglins provokes the piglins, the same reaction other containers cause. Since Java Edition 1.21, a lead can be attached to boats with chests.
