Contents

[upcoming: JE 1.19 & BE 1.19.0] |
Usage[]
A boat with chest can be used for the transportation of players, mobs and items, or as fuel when smelting.
Fuel[]
A boat with chest can be used as fuel in a furnace, it lasts 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items.
Transportation[]
The difference with regular boats and boats with chests is that boats with chests can only carry one entity compared to boats being able to carry two entities.
Behavior[]
Boats with chests share most behaviors with boats.
Item storage[]
The inventory of the boat with chest has the same amount of slots as a single chest. Its inventory can be accessed by sneaking and interacting on the boat with chest, interacting on the boat with chest while a player or entity is inside the boat[verify], or by opening the player's inventory whilst inside the boat. This means that the player cannot access armor or offhand slots without exiting the boat.
When a boat with chest moves above, underneath, or beside a hopper, its inventory is filled or drained accordingly. Due to the size of its hitbox, a boat with chest can be placed above up to 9 hoppers, allowing it to evenly split its items nine ways.
Naming[]
In Java Edition, unlike most other storage devices, a boat with chest renamed in an anvil does not display the custom name in its GUI.
Piglin[]
As with other chests, opening or breaking a boat with chest causes nearby piglin to attack the player.

Trivia[]
- A chest is short enough that a boat with chest falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
- The chest texture is 12x12 pixels, rather than the 14x14 pixels texture the block uses. This is not the case with the minecart with chest.
