Description

Jungle Boat with Chest is a jungle wood boat whose passenger seat carries a single chest; Minecraft added the item in Java Edition 1.19 and Bedrock 1.19.0. One jungle boat plus one chest crafts one Jungle Boat with Chest on the crafting grid. The cargo hold offers as many slots as a regular chest and opens when the player uses the boat while sneaking, opens the player inventory while riding, or interacts with the chest half while another entity sits in the boat. Attacking Jungle Boat with Chest drops the boat in item form along with its entire cargo, and any tool or weapon dealing more than 4 damage destroys the boat in a single hit.

Jungle Boat with Chest trades the second seat for storage: the boat carries only one entity, while regular boats carry up to two. A furnace burns Jungle Boat with Chest as fuel for 60 seconds and smelts up to 6 items. Hoppers fill or drain the moving boat, and the wide hitbox lets one boat sit above up to nine hoppers to split the cargo evenly nine ways. Opening or breaking Jungle Boat with Chest angers nearby piglins, as with any other container. Jungle Boat with Chest is renewable (obtainable endlessly by growing jungle trees), so a spare boat doubles as emergency fuel on a long voyage.
