Positive thoughts on recent Minecraft updates

Hi Devs, 

As a longtime Minecraft player I would like to thank you for the good updates. I have been playing for 10 years or so, and I think that the direction of the new update cycles in the last 3 years has been really good and a step in the right direction. Especially after the Nether expansion. Kudos to everyone for coming up with fun ideas that keep in the spirit of the game.

The recent baby animals update is great and my girlfriend loves it. I personally love the addition of the cherry tree biome. I'm excited after the news of the new dimension and am excited to see what you have been cooking. 

On a more idea sharing note. I think that boats are super outdated and could use an overhaul. A larger boat with capacity for more players and or animals with a chest would be awesome. Maybe a few types of boats. Some could be locked behind certain item requirements like in an undersea temple or ship wreaks. And could be increasingly fast with more upgrades or unlocking new types of ships. Could add a useful new crafting station along with it. Maybe an idea for the cabinet.
