Birch Boat at a glance

Birch Boat comes from crafting, and Transportation is where it sits as a transportation item. It claims a slot each, so nine hotbar slots hold nine and a double chest of 54 slots takes 54. A furnace takes Birch Boat too: 6 smelts apiece, 6 per full stack.

Building with it

A Birch Boat is the pale one: five birch planks, and birch forests are common enough that a single tree covers the cost. It handles exactly like every other boat, so the choice is decorative, and the light wood stands out against dark water, which is handy if you leave one moored on a coastline you want to find again.

In practice

Birch boats are the palest on the water, which makes them the easiest to find again after a swim. All boats move at the same speed regardless of wood, so the choice is purely how it looks against the water you sail on.
