It travels faster than a normal boat. It only takes a 2x2 crafting grid to make a Powered Boat. Just put the Furnace on top of the Boat. When all of the fuel in the Furnace has been used, it moves as fast as a normal Boat or slower.
Boat+Chest would be useful if something automatically moves the boat. Powered boat is manually operated. Do you really need to bring so many things to cross a river, that you need a chest because you have no space left?
no you all have it wrong it would be a terrible idea ,based on how powered carts came out it would make you move slower. what we need is powered water :tongue.gif:
No. If someone were to bump into the powered boat it would totally send it off course and you'd have to go retrieve which be cumbersome. Frankly they're not needed in the first place, do to the fact that they would be more pointless than powered minecarts. You can already go pretty fast on a regular old boat.
So I have to disagree, powered boats would be pretty inefficient and generally pointless.
"Oceans aren't too big, we just need bigger faster boats!"
Mojang did promise a new boat, however, I think it would be a metal plated boat or just a water minecart. A furnace powered wooden boat? Let's break it on the shore like a baouussss.
I don't get how it'd work, I mean, the powered mine cart moves because it's directed on a rail. A powered boat would have no direction. And how would you refuel the boat? I don't think it's possible to be able to have a block with 2 functions using the same key to use. cough cough, left click, cough cough.
Instead of having the powered boat be a separate boat, you should upgrade the one you're riding. That solves the problem with the powered boat going off on its own course.
You should be able to add a furnace, a chest, both or neither to a boat. All of the variations would be rideable and steerable of course. Pressing Q (or another key; but who needs to drop items while riding a boat?) would open the inventory of the boat, like a chest.
Powered boats have one slot for fuel. Chest boats have 27 slots for storage. Combined boats have both (28 slots total) and basic boats have nothing.
Edit: boat + chest would be cool too.
This is obviously for ocean travel, so the chest boat would obviously be for long expeditions.
