Usage

Placing

Using a boat places it on top of the block or water the player is pointing at, up to 5 blocks away.

Riding

Using a boat gets in, and using it again gets out. A boat another player is riding cannot be entered.

The rider steers the boat with the movement keys.

A rider takes the boat's fall damage.

Behaviour

Movement

A boat floats at the surface of water. On land, it loses half its speed every tick.

A boat's top speed is 6.3 blocks per second, heading straight or diagonally.

A boat breaks snow layers it passes over.

Breaking

A boat breaks when it runs into a block while still moving faster than 3 blocks per second along the block's face. Running straight into a block stops it without breaking it.

A boat also breaks when damaged enough. Either way, it drops three wooden planks and two sticks, never a boat. Its rider is let out.
