How to Craft and Use the Fir Boat and Fir Boat with Chest

Traverse adds a Fir Boat and a Fir Boat with Chest, giving you a wood-matched boat option and a mobile storage vessel for long journeys.

Crafting the Fir Boat

The Fir Boat follows the standard boat recipe shape, but you substitute Fir Planks for whatever wood the vanilla recipe uses. Place planks in the classic boat pattern on a crafting table and you'll get a Fir Boat. It behaves exactly like a vanilla boat: place it on water, right-click to board, and use it to cross oceans, rivers, and lakes.

Crafting the Boat with Chest

The Fir Boat with Chest is the storage variant. Craft a regular Fir Boat first, then combine it with a chest in a crafting grid to produce the chest version. This boat holds items like a chest, so you can haul loot across water without filling your inventory.

Practical Tips

• Boats break into item form when you hit them, so you can pick them back up.
• The chest boat is ideal for exploring new Traverse biomes across oceans, since you can store saplings, logs, and spare tools.
• Both boats match fir wood visually, which matters if you're building a dock or boathouse out of fir planks and want everything to look consistent.

Keep a spare boat in your inventory whenever you explore coastlines; you never know when you'll need to cross water.
