The Whitehall is a little larger, great for those occasions when you need to bring more stuff… and friends!

…and introducing the Hoy, which will eventually sport a cabin (hopefully with a working bed) and cannon:

Controls:

Right-click to jump into the boat,
Right-click (or N and M keys) to open the chest when you’re in the boat
Left-Shift to jump out

To change seats in the Whitehall, right-click on an empty seat.Â Â Note: You can only control the Whitehall from the back seat.

The Hoy has a deeper draft than the Punt and Whitehall, you need 2+ blocks of water (depth) to sail her!

Some items to note:

Build recipe for the Punt is three standard boats across the bottom, two sticks for the mast, and three wool for the sail (see picture above)
Build recipe for the Whitehall is three Punts (of the same color)
Build recipe for the Hoy is three Whitehalls
In creative mode, all boats appear on the Transportation tab
Destroying a boat gives you back a boat (plus contents of chest)
Boats are VERY HARD to damage

This code was originally built for Minecraft Beta 1.6 but was never released.Â Â It has been completely redesigned to take advantage of new Minecraft internal structures that make oversized and animated vehicles a more workable proposition.Â Â Once the basic mod internals are finalized it should be possible to make much larger boats with additional capabilities (multiple passengers, ovens, beds, cannon, etc).
