This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a mangrove boat with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a mangrove boat is a new item that was introduced in the Wild Update. It is one of the many transportation items that you can make. A mangrove 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.

When making a mangrove boat, it is important that the mangrove planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 mangrove planks placed in the first row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty) and 3 mangrove planks placed in the second row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a mangrove boat that moves in the water.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the mangrove boat will appear.
