To move faster, rapidly tap on both sides of the boat. Tapping on only one turns the boat in that way while holding both down moves the boat forward.

So now that you’ve created a boat with (hopefully) ease, how do you pilot it? Well, entering the boat puts two movement controls on the screen (one for each paddle). It doesn’t matter what type of plank used - all of them will can go towards a boat.

From there you can break down the wood into planks, build the requisite Crafting Table, create a Wooden Shovel, and then use the shovel along with more planks to create the boat. In fact, all you need is a bunch of wood. In terms of what you actually need to build a boat, this is one of the simpler items in the game. In case you aren’t savvy to the latest nautical additions, we’re here to give you the info needed to check them out in game. Indeed, while they seem relatively small, the ability to build a boat (as well as a fishing rod) are important additions that have the potential to significantly change the way you explore your world.
