Dark Oak Boat at a glance

Dark Oak Boat comes from crafting, and Transportation is where it sits as a transportation item. One slot, one Dark Oak Boat: nothing stacks here, and nine of them fill a hotbar. 27 chest slots take 27 of them. A furnace takes Dark Oak Boat too: 6 smelts apiece, 6 per full stack.

You keep Dark Oak Boat for distance, since covering ground on foot costs time that it gives back. It sits between Chest Minecart and Dark Oak Boat with Chest in Transportation, number 7 of 25 there.

Building with it

A Dark Oak Boat costs five dark oak planks, from the thick two-by-two trees of the dark forest. It is the darkest boat in the set, easy to lose against deep water and easy to spot against ice, and like every boat it carries two passengers, including a villager you are trying to move.

In practice

Dark oak boats are the darkest on the water, which is easier to lose sight of than most. They travel at the same speed as every other boat, and on ice they outrun any land transport, so the wood choice is entirely about how the boat looks tied up at a dock.
