At the moment, I think the boats in Minecraft's only uses are to move across water. I think the boat should be replaced with a raft. You would be able to place, chests on the raft and be able to use them while sailing. This would allow you to store and transport items across the water. After a raft would come a ship. You would be able to place chests, crafting tables, dispensers and beds on the ship. It would function like a portable house on the water. There would be specific places for you to place dispensers, where you can angle them to shoot at targets. So what do you think? A good idea or not?
its got like awesome stuff. search for the topic. its already a big campaign
