1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make an Oak Boat

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an oak boat, place 5 oak planks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making an oak boat, it is important that the oak planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 oak planks placed in the first row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty) and 3 oak planks placed in the second row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an oak boat that moves in the water.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the oak boat will appear.

3. Move the Oak Boat to Inventory

Once you have crafted an oak boat, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
