Jungle Boat
Jungle Boat is the fastest early-game water transport carved from jungle planks, hitting 8 blocks per second on the surface and smelting 6 items as furnace fuel.
Description
Jungle Boat doubles as emergency fuel in a furnace, smelting 6 items per boat over a 60-second burn. A chest turns the boat into a Jungle Boat with Chest, a mobile vessel that carries a 27-slot inventory across water. Blue ice accelerates the hull to roughly 72 blocks per second, so before elytra the Jungle Boat stays the fastest early-game way to cross an ocean. A single hit dealing more than 4 damage shatters the boat instantly, so stash spare hulls in an ender chest before raiding an ocean monument.

Combine with a chest (optional)
Place a Jungle Boat together with a chest on the crafting grid to build a Jungle Boat with Chest that carries 27 slots of cargo.

Yes. One Jungle Boat smelts 6 items in a furnace, burning for 60 seconds.
What is a Jungle Boat with Chest?
Combining a Jungle Boat with a chest on a crafting grid creates a Jungle Boat with Chest, a boat that carries a 27-slot inventory.
Does a Jungle Boat stack?
No. A Jungle Boat is not stackable, so each inventory slot holds only one boat.
