Talk:Boat

Are boats reusable?
Can a boat be returned to inventory after it has been used? I'm just about to add a line saying this cannot be done...
 * I don't believe it can. If you try to pick up a boat it breaks down into three sets of planks and two sticks, which isn't enough material to make a new boat... DannyF1966 21:48, 16 October 2010 (CDT)

My boat just spontaneously broke as i was going down my canal. Is that supposed to happen or did i scrape a wall?
 * if the spot gets too shallow the boat might hit the ground and break too, if its lower than a half block, its probably too low a spot Adi Tetac 08:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Canals
Any chance someone could elaborate on this process, perhaps with a video link? I'm missing something about how this works, and what part pressure plates and the like play in the process. L33t3rth4nur1111 11:41, 8 December 2010 (CST)
 * Canal link added to EthosLab's Minecraft - (EATS) How To Build A Road, the best canal I've seen yet Adi Tetac 08:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Easy boat docking
If one places a source block on top of the shore directly next to the body of water, then one may navigate at full speed towards said source in a boat. When the boat comes to the source block, it will be propelled upwards and then land on the dry land behind it. If one wants to re-use the boat, all one must do is push it onto the source block and then right click it. This simple technique made using boats far easier for me.
