About Dark Oak Boat
The Dark Oak Boat is a wooden boat variant for travelling across water. It handles like every other boat: right-click to board, steer with movement keys, and sneak to exit. It can carry you and one passenger, so it is useful for moving a friend or a mob.
Because it is made of dark oak, it has a dark, almost black wood colour, but its speed and behaviour match other boats. You can also break it with a quick hit to pick it back up. It works on land too, though it is slow and awkward.
How to get Dark Oak Boat
You get a Dark Oak Boat by crafting it from five dark oak planks. Arrange them in a U shape in a crafting table, with three planks across the middle row and one in each top corner. Boats are not found in chests, so crafting is the normal survival route. Dark oak planks come from dark oak logs, which grow in dark forest biomes.
