Eyecraftmc – Boats are OP in Minecraft 1.20

Boats and minecraft easy to craft and perfect for traveling across water but there’s a lot more uses to boats than you might think including some that are totally overpowered let’s check it out now boats are incredibly easily crafted with five oak planks and you probably already knew that of course also there

Are six different types of boats and there are six different varieties of boats there are oak boats spruce boats birch boats jungle boats acacia boats and dark oak boats and every single one of them has the exact same functionality all they are very pretty colors now as

Boats are one of the most well known items in the game i’m not going to go over any super basic uses of them but there are some very very cool uses of them that most players probably don’t know the first of which is you can use them to cross water in a very

Interesting way basically by right clicking on the ground jumping on the boat and putting down another oak boat and it takes some practice but you can basically do it like this or you can do it very quickly doing that something like this while running and putting

These down on the ground just like that what’s amazing is that if you do it very very quickly you can do the exact same thing on lava now of course doing this in creative mode is fairly easy as you can literally just spam down hundreds of

Boats to jump across to actually do it legitimately though like this is a lot more difficult as you saw i even fell in the lava there and to do this in survival is even more difficult as you have to switch which slot you’re on every single time you do it as of course

You’d use up your boat you could maybe use your number keys to do it a bit easier but overall it’s basically quite a difficult thing to do but it is accomplishable so i’m going to try it right now probably unsuccessfully you basically jump the second you hit you

Switch something like that is actually able to do it for a little bit of a second there you can see it’s not too hard to do if you’re doing it over a very small amount of lava although i did just die there you could do something along lines of

Basic like this then jump off of it that’s pretty easy so that could be a very good trick to do you could try it multiple times but again it is pretty easy just to fall in the lava and die like i keep doing here however it could

Be a good trick to do if you have a small amount of lava to go over to you could quickly make a platform to jump on and if you are getting very skilled at it and you try and do a lot of work doing it correctly you could probably go

Over a small section with it correctly that’s a very good trick to do if you want to maybe try and save your life jumping across the lava something like that now as well as using it to try and cross lava and water you can also do it

To avoid fall damage we’re gonna start by jumping off this cliff right here and what will happen well of course we’re gonna die of fall damage but if we have even a one boat on us is all we have to do put down the boat get in the boat and

Roll forward and upon hitting the ground we are going to be 100 fine just like this we can even row ourselves all the way down the mountain just like this and completely survival and we’re not going to die of any fall damage whatsoever because the boat will make us not get

Any fall damage that’s a really good trick to know especially if you’re trying to go off of a tall building maybe a tall mountain like this or anything else using a boat to get down is probably your safest way now another thing you can do and i can probably not

Pull it off since i’m not the best of these mlg things is to basically double click really quick when falling down and place a boat get in the boat and do that to save yourself from fall damage as well and the trick is basically to double click incredibly quickly at the

Exact right moment to not die of fall damage i may as well try it right here although i’ll probably fail but basically just a spam right click just like this of course it didn’t work because i didn’t right click on the right part of the block but the idea is

That when you’re falling down you basically double click like this and get in the boat but again doing that in the right timing is incredibly difficult maybe it could be a good thing to try and practice so that you can get yourself saved from those kinds of traps

And try not to die from baby zombies while you’re doing it as well now as well as letting you avoid fall damage you can also use boats to quick move one of the ways is by laying out tons of boats in a straight line something like

This if you get in one boat like this one right over here we’re going to start right clicking while looking at the next boat and the quicker we right click the faster we go we can basically go incredibly quickly through all these different boats just like that we just

Covered a very large distance in a very small amount of time and you can make this even faster by clicking even quicker something like this by just spamming right click as fast as we possibly can just like this and of course the longer this is the further

You can go but overall it’s a pretty cool method of transport as long as you’re not afraid of lag issues with this many boats which may or may not arise as boats are not incredibly laggy so you could have yourself a very large travel system made completely out of

Boats just be aware if someone kind of pushes one out of the way to be a bit of a troll or breaks one you’re gonna have to place one down again to get through the boat chain as of course you can’t do that without a full line of boats now

What’s so awesome about quick moving with boats as you can do the exact same thing like an elevator all you have to do is set up a big tower or something like this maybe for an elevator shaft in your building and set up boats at a distance something like this then simply

Look up right click and you’ll go from boat to boat like this all the way up the elevator once you’re at the floor you want to simply get off by shifting and you can go back on to the next boat like that and just kind of go up the

Elevator all the way like this pretty quickly you can eventually set it up so that you can also just right click in a single direction for instance you could get a glass pane put the boat on the glass pane something like this by just kind of making them all fall down like

That which would make this a lot quicker of a design so for instance we could go down here get in this boat and simply just right click up like this to go up incredibly quickly all the way up to the top of our building and have a very nice

Elevator completely out of boats now minecraft has always had a lot of bugs and one of them used to be that when going on top of a boat you would shake violently and basically couldn’t move so when you were on a boat you’d have to get off quickly and it wouldn’t really

Function as a solid kind of object what’s awesome is that that bug has been fixed a long time ago but a lot of players don’t realize that because it has been fixed you can literally walk right across boats as if they were a bridge now sometimes you will shake on

It yes but you can literally walk all the way across it just like this as if they were solid objects and you can make yourself a floating bridge just like that completely out of entities which is kind of a cool thing to do if you want

To cross a large area just be right this kind of shaking glitch is still somewhat in the game and you can always fall off the bridge and getting back on can be a little bit annoying but it could be a cool idea to make yourself a small boat

Bridge just like this maybe for a mini game or maybe even just for an interesting decorative way of crossing a river or a lake and because if they’re not glitching walking on top of boats is like walking on top of blocks if you space the boats in the right way you can

Actually have a basically completely seamless bridge that can work super well now boats can basically go on top of any solid block just rowing them is incredibly slow just like that but an amazing use of boats is putting them on ice now there’s three different types of

Ice in the game and all three of them are amazing for making ice highways with boats you can basically just do this by laying out a large section of ice blocks like that and run the boat across it and as you saw it is incredibly quick but

The more packed the ice is the quicker we go across it as you can kind of see right here just be aware not to fall off of it if it’s a big strip of ice just like that now blue ace is absolutely the fastest like this we can get up to an

Incredibly high speed and you can see here that something like that set up would be an amazing way to make a highway across your world and as these are so fast setting something like this up in the nether where one block traveled is eight blocks in the over world you could literally travel

Hundreds of thousands of blocks in only a couple minutes which is an amazing feature to have if you’re late gamer may be on a server and want to have good ways of traveling between different areas and of course these different ice blocks aren’t too difficult to get

Overall so it’s nice to make different highways out of these but something you might be saying is do i really have to use all the ice here and you actually don’t something you can do is you can lay out the ice blocks just like this so it’s basically one piece of ice go

Forward two one over one piece over to one like this in a pattern basically like that when you have your ice in this pattern which is literally four times efficient then it’s just a solid block of blue like this your boat will still work perfectly on top of the ice just

Like that and you can still go very far distances very quickly with much less ice now in my opinion one of the best uses for boats is trapping mobs you’re on your first night of a survival world and you have some boats on you because

You cut down a couple trees or are these zombies going to kill me absolutely not all i have to do is put down a boat and load them right in just like that it’s super simple what’s amazing about this is it works for endermen and creepers as

Well let’s try it with these creepers here they’re all going to come towards me which of course this would be totally a death trap normally but look at that they’re all trapped right in the boats there we can just put them down as many as we need and because they’re so easy

To craft only about one and a quarter oak logs per boat then it’s extremely easy to get yourself large amounts of boats early game we can also do those skeletons although it’s not super useful although it is proof that skeletons have aimbot lookout just shot right through

Itself like that which is kind of funny so you can see here that they’ll literally shoot all the way behind them like this which is totally unfair if you ask me but overall it’s a really cool thing to do to trap different mobs now the most overpowered use of this is when

Fighting enderman let’s spawn one in right now let’s get it very angry at us it’s going to start running towards us we’re simply just going to place down a boat get it to go into the boat and voila we have just saved ourselves from the endermen and what’s so amazing is

That mobs cannot get out of boats and so now these zombies skeletons creepers even endermen are all trapped in the boats here all we have to do is punch them to death because they have literally no way of attacking us unless we get incredibly close to them just

Like that just an amazing way of trapping your opponents and killing them very very simply in pve type combat and even the endermen literally cannot teleport out of this boat so it’s completely trapped in there to be mercilessly killed by us because it got angry at us so can trap it super simply

Like that you can even surround yourself in boats that if any mob gets near you it’ll instantly get placed in the boat like that so this is certainly a very overpowered way of saving yourself from mobs but hey it works it’s a great way of even killing enderman late game as

Even late game enderman could potentially kill you in decent armor now something funny you might notice when doing this is that if a creeper explodes in a boat it won’t always explode the boat like it didn’t explode right there which is quite funny and the zombie is completely fine as well it’s also

Interesting about this is let’s get ourselves a boat with a creeper in it again and we’re going to ride this boat that has the creeper in it i know it sounds crazy what happened we only lost about one heart so it’s amazing because if we’re moving while we’re in the boat

If we’re still in the boat we’ll die but if we’re moving while we’re in the boat for whatever reason and it’s probably a bug we don’t really get the full blast damage from the creeper there so you can literally explode with the creeper just inches away from you and you’ll only

Lose a very small amount of your health just again be sure that you are moving as you do that or you will die inside the boat as if you’re not moving when it explodes it will for some reason give you the full damage now as some players might remember boats and minecraft used

To be very different in fact they would break no matter what you’d basically do if you had even a lily pad the boat would break not into a boat it would break into three planks and two sticks now it’s funny as the mechanic of a boat breaking into three planks and two

Sticks can still be sometimes accessed through certain bugs so for instance if you’re on another highway and you get into unloaded chunks very rarely your boat will actually break into three planks and two sticks although it’s extremely unusual something you can also do is if you ride a boat off of a cliff

And jump off of it as it falls down very rarely if it falls about 12 blocks it’ll actually break into planks and sticks as well i’ve amazingly been able to reproduce this once but it does seem to happen so rarely that it’s very hard to reproduce and show on video but there

Are some bug reports about it so i’m sure it’ll be patched eventually however it is interesting to see this very old aspect of minecraft still be in the game and maybe you can try it out for yourself and get yourself some planks and sticks from your outfit like you
