How to Craft Birch Boat with Chest in Minecraft

Birch Boat with Chest combines a boat with a chest for 27 slots of mobile storage on water.

Overview

Birch Boat with Chest combines a boat with a chest for 27 slots of mobile storage on water. Birch Boat with Chest uses a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go in any cells of the grid as long as all of them are present. A Crafting Table gives you the full 3x3 grid, which you need for any recipe larger than 2x2. You can craft one from four planks, and most bases keep one near the furnaces.

The recipe was added in Minecraft 1.19 and still works the same way in version 1.21. Each craft yields a single Birch Boat with Chest.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with birch boat (craft from birch planks) and chest (craft from planks). If any of those are not already in your stores, gather them first, because the craft itself takes only a moment once everything is in the grid. With the ingredients on hand and a Crafting Table placed, Birch Boat with Chest is one of the quicker things to add to your inventory.
