In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a jungle boat, place 5 jungle planks in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a jungle boat, it is important that the jungle planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 jungle planks placed in the first row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty) and 3 jungle planks placed in the second row.
