I rarely use boats at all, so I am a bit unfamiliar with them. However, I decided to try out some boat contraptions, and I noticed some really odd behavior. I assumed this was just Minecraft being Minecraft, but it seems that these oddities should not be happening.

  1. Boats seem to be blocked by non-solid blocks, like signs.
  2. Water elevators seem to (to some extent) work again.

This certainly seems... abnormal. This was tested on Minecraft 1.1 only, so I don't know if any of these bugs were apparent in 1.0, but I don't think they were. Could anyone confirm that these bugs are in fact present in 1.1 and that they were not present in 1.0?

  • I can't find your bugs on the bug list, on MCwiki. Could to show photos? Perhaps your using mods/in SSP or SMP? @TobiasKienzler better?

  • @Pureferret :-) It's difficult, I concur. To stay fair, I'd say "the" and links don't count

  • my answer to gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/12753/… proves that a) yes water elevators work again if built properly and b) Signs do not block boats.

The reason for the boat being blocked by signs, is because signs are still a block, and thus you cannot pass through them.

Also, IIRC, water elevators and boats always worked.
