Description

Pale Oak Boat is a rideable wooden boat crafted from pale oak planks, the pale wood added with the Pale Garden biome in Minecraft 1.21.4. Craft it from five pale oak planks arranged in a U shape in a crafting table to get one boat. Place it on water, then climb in and steer with your movement keys for fast, safe travel across rivers, lakes, and oceans — much quicker than swimming. The boat seats up to two passengers, so a player can ride alongside a second player or a mob such as a villager. When you step off onto land the boat returns to item form, ready to pick up and reuse. It works in both Java and Bedrock Edition.
