Boat Update

I think boats are really lackluster right now, especially compared to real-life ones. That’s why I think we really need new types of boats — maybe even small ships. You could add things like kayaks that can carry more people, or sailboats that are harder to craft and control but much faster. Maybe you could even implement cannons or some kind of TNT dropper, although with the direction of recent updates, that seems pretty unlikely.

Honestly, you could almost just copy the Small Ships mod 1:1 into the game — maybe with a few tweaks and some different boat variants — but the overall direction would fit the Minecraft style perfectly. 

I just think we generally need some kind of late-game alternative to Elytras, something that gives real functionality to the docks or train stations that many players already build in their worlds.

    If you think that would be over the top or feels like a mod, how did you first feel about the warden? Did the Elytra not feel like some crazy mod when it was first launched? Didn't the 1.14 Update feel like some ps3 era mashup pack? I think now with there being happy ghasts, that already give us a way to travel with multiple people on a single ghast, are bigger boats really such a big stretch? Even if the Boats wont feel vanilla at first ( wich i doubt ) after a while it will just feel right and people will look back at the boats we have today like they do at the boats from like 1.7
