This a very simple wooden dock to use for boats. It's small and incredibly simple to duplicate to have multiple boats docked I used this to method to create a dock on the edge of a town I built on my brothers server. It works well and I prefer it to other designs i've seen and used.
HowTo: Build A Dock
To begin you will need:
*6 Wooden Planks
*2 Wooden Half Steps
*A Pickaxe and/or Shovel handy in case
of mistakes
(See, Not Much Involved and Easy To Build! :biggrin.gif:)
Step 1.) Find the lake you want to build your dock on. (I recommend building this on a flat part of your lake)
Step 2.) Place your Wooden Planks in a "C" shape like so:
Step 3.) Now place the Wooden Half Steps in the gap
(:Logs^: = Wooden Half Steps)
Step 4.) You are done! Pull your boat up onto the Wooden Half Steps to dock it

The post made by Majataka below gave me a good Idea. Im always in favor of finding ways to utilize new features in updates so here's a way to add in some hatch doors to insure that if you dont get off your boat in the right way it wont fly away. Extend the side of the dock out 2 more blocks and add 1 more Wooden Plank on the tip and place 2 hatch door, 1 on each side, so you can enter and before getting out of the boat, turn around and close both door so your boat cannot move
Does it crash the boat if you go a little too fast? :$
Well, I guess it could depending on your boats health when crashing into it? I went back 25 spaces, max speed, and nailed it with full health and it didnt get destroyed, but that was in the most optimal conditions.

You could always make it out of Soul Sand, and the hatches, and line it with wood.

Good idea.
If you just want a place to keep your boats and dont care about looks, get a form of inventory editor and spawn some spider web :laugh.gif: Takes like 15 mins to get it in and out but they're definitely going to stay there

Do boats have health? I thought that it was just a collision check.
Thanks for these how to things! I built a slightly larger barn and put mob spawners in the stalls, added a farm around it and I had the perfect barn! < I'm a cow *cluck*)

Interesting. Did you change the spawners to spawn other things beside pigs? If so do you care to share how? :tongue.gif:
