Oak Boat at a glance

Minecraft files Oak Boat under Transportation: a transportation item you get from crafting. It does not stack, so every one you carry costs a full inventory slot, and nine of them fill a hotbar row. A furnace takes Oak Boat too: 6 smelts apiece, 6 per full stack.

Travel is the whole point of Oak Boat, and it earns its slot on any trip longer than a short walk. It sits between Minecart with TNT and Oak Boat with Chest in Transportation, number 18 of 25 there.

Building with it

An Oak Boat is five oak planks and nothing else, which makes it the boat most players build first, usually on the shore of the first ocean they meet. Oak grows in almost every temperate biome, so the wood is never the problem. On water a boat is faster than sprinting, and on ice it is faster than anything else in the game.

In practice

Five planks give a boat, and a boat on water travels faster than sprinting on land. Oak is the wood everyone has first, so most first boats are oak, and the boat itself can be broken back into planks on the far shore if the wood is needed.
