Bubble columns created with soul sand can also be used to push boats upward.īoats move according to the player's control or water currents, with speed affected by the surface traversed. A boat lift, usually made from tripwire, pistons, and optionally a slime block, can be used to move a boat up. In Java Edition, boats cannot be ridden upstream. Pressing both buttons or keys moves the boat forward. The right button or key steers to the left, and the left button or key steers to the right. With touchscreen controls, two buttons for steering appear. Using the sprint key increases the field of vision, but does not increase speed as if sprinting. With a keyboard or gamepad, boats are controlled using the forward, left (turns left), right (turns right), and backward keys. The exiting player is placed on land if possible from the dismounting position. When exiting a boat, the player is placed in the direction the player is facing, or, if facing directly up or down, the player is placed in front of the boat. Exiting Ī boat can be exited by sneaking or, in Bedrock Edition, pressing down the right analog stick on a controller, tapping the "Leave Boat" button when using touch controls, or jumping. Unlike beds, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied boat.
