While a dock may be fun, there are cases in survival mode of them not being necessarily practical when it comes to ocean-related discovery. What am I talking about? The boat going off at full speed back into the ocean. It would be nice to have some more practical option to anchor it while you go ashore to explore a new land mass. I, for one, began my newest world with nothing but a little 6x4x2 island in the middle of a large ocean biome (because small biomes are for wusses, but I digress) Maybe the following could be the formula for the Anchor?
EDIT: Thanks to Username477
Maybe it could be something that-- when holding it and right-clicking on a boat-- would immediately anchor it to the closest point below it in a 3x3 area! The anchor could then retract once a person reenters the boat. When reentering the boat, the anchor could automatically be redeposited in your inventory given there is enough space.
Alternatively, there could be a placeholder ability for the Anchor, reserving a single space in your inventory for the anchor and preventing it from being overtaken by fish.
It would make reentering it while fishing a bit annoying, but not in any way that would particularly hinder anybody.
How would one operate this anchor? It isn't a bad idea, but we need more detail.

Ehh. . . .Yeah. . . I pretty much brainfarted after the "We need an anchor!" Idea. Thinking of a practical way to implement it. . . Maybe it could be something that-- when holding it and right-clicking on a boat-- would immediately anchor it to the closest point below it in a 3x3 area! The anchor could then retract once a person reenters the boat.
The anchor could have a stack size of 1, as anything more would be ridiculous.
