Boat

Boats are means of transportation across water. They move in a similar way like Minecarts move on Rails, except a paddle will be needed to move it with. They will be added in Update 0.11.0

Crafting
5 wooden planks are required to craft a boat. However, Tomasso stated that it may require 5 wooden logs rather than 5 planks.

Usage
Boats can be used to travel across large masses of water. To steer a boat in Minecraft Pocket Edition, you would require 'paddles'.

Trivia

 * If you crash a boat into land, it will break into wooden planks and sticks. However, in MCPE, it will only drop planks.
 * If you break a boat, you get planks rather than the boat.
 * Paddles are not in other versions of Minecraft.
