Poplar Boat with Chest

Poplar Boat with Chest is a functional hybrid item that serves as both a watercraft and a portable storage container. Crafted by combining a Poplar Boat with a standard Chest, the Poplar Boat with Chest allows players to carry goods across rivers, lakes, and oceans without sacrificing mobility. Because the chest occupies the second passenger slot, only one player or entity can ride at a time.

Accessing the storage is straightforward: sneak and interact with the boat while it is unoccupied, interact directly with the chest section if another entity is seated inside, or simply open your inventory while riding. The Poplar Boat with Chest also supports hopper interaction, meaning items can be automatically transferred in or out as the boat moves over, beside, or beneath a hopper — a useful feature for automated storage systems near water.

When destroyed, the Poplar Boat with Chest drops itself as a collectible item along with any contents stored inside, so nothing is lost upon breaking it. It can also be used as a furnace fuel, burning for roughly 60 seconds and providing enough heat to smelt up to 6 items. One important note: opening or breaking a Poplar Boat with Chest near Piglins will provoke their hostility, so exercise caution when traveling through Nether-adjacent areas where Piglins may be present.
