Boats that are in minecraft now are pretty cool, and a little fast, but just like we can make better tools, we should be able to make better boats, like iron boats that cant be shot by arrows, or diamond boats, submarines, or hovercraft that can move on land and water, maybe war submarines that can shoot explosives through the water, for people that like destroying their friends underwater houses, and even motors on boats that can be crafted that are powered by either coal or redstone that would make boats go way faster, feel free to put other watercraft suggestions in your comments

I like boats the way they are. I have never in over a year had my boat shot out by someone, and I don't really think a griefing submarine is really going to float well (ba-dum tss) with 4J either.

"Let's make submarines!"
"Why?"
"They're cool and can destroy others' homes!"
"...."

Also, a lot of this doesn't even fit in with Minecraft's "theme."
Great idea for a PC mod, not so much for a feature of the 360.

Oh wow.. I just realized I made pretty much the exact same thread. The title was misleading to me so I didn't think to click on it for boats etc

you may like boats the way the are, but I'm pretty sure not everybody in the entire minecraft community feels the same exact way as you, sure you haven't got your boat shot out by someone in a year, but I'm pretty sure that you don't get on minecraft all 365 days, and if you do, I'm pretty sure you don't play multiplayer all 365 days, also I never said, completely replace wooden boats, I just suggested the ability to make better boat, I don't see a problem with adding submarines, its not like I'm talking about gigantic extra long submarines, maybe like a small square minecraft style submarine, and also out of the entire minecraft playing world, I'm pretty sure that there are people who like to destroy their friends stuff every now and then, maybe do a little mini game where you have to destroy everybody elses base or something, I'm pretty sure alot of people know that, I'm pretty sure 4j and mojang know that, I'm just not comprehending why you don't know that

We have plenty of ways to destroy stuff as is.
Adding a submarine just to destroy stuff is pointless.
A boats' speed is also fine as is, especially with the controls. Any faster and you'll be wrecking even more.

This would be a useful mod for the PC since they have undesirably large oceans. We, however, do not, and standard wooden boats are fine for sailing.

i would like iron boats for lava lakes

it would be alot easier to get around the nether with that

iron boats deal tiny bits of damage due to the fact that it's metal in extreme heat... Try a diamond boat in lava to avoid any flame injuries.
