Cherry Boat – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a cherry boat with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a cherry boat is a new item that was introduced in Minecraft 1.20. It is one of the many transportation items that you can make. A cherry boat allows you to quickly travel across water. There are different variations of a boat – oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, bamboo, and cherry.
Let’s explore how to make a cherry boat in Minecraft.

2. Add Items to make a Cherry Boat
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a cherry boat, place 5 cherry planks in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a cherry boat, it is important that the cherry planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 cherry planks placed in the first row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty) and 3 cherry planks placed in the second row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a cherry boat that moves in the water.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the cherry boat will appear.
3. Move the Cherry Boat to Inventory
Once you have crafted a cherry boat, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
