Vanilla gives you a two-seat rowboat. This one you keep building.
Bullets Boats turns the boat into something you assemble. Put a boat in a crafting table, surround it with planks, and it comes out bigger. Do it again and it comes out bigger still. Every hull segment you add gives you two more seats, and nothing in the mod stops you. How far you take it is a question of your plank supply rather than a limit imposed by the mod.
Two purpose-built boats come along with it: one that fishes while you sail, and one that sails on lava.
Start with any vanilla boat and a handful of matching planks. There are three expansion patterns, all made in a normal crafting table:
Surround it with 8 planks A U of 5 planks A C of 5 planks P P P P B P P P P B P P P P P B P P P P P Bigger both ways One segment longer One segment wider
Seats scale with the hull. A boat that is X segments wide and Y segments long carries X × Y × 2 riders, following the same two-riders-per-boat-body rate as vanilla.
There is no built-in ceiling.
Grow it lengthwise and it looks like a train of boat bodies, one behind the next. Grow it sideways instead and the segments merge into a single broad deck. Most crews end up building some of both.
All the planks used in one craft must match, but they do not have to match the original boat.
Give an oak boat a ring of spruce planks and it becomes a spruce boat. This means you can change the appearance of the entire hull at any point in its life.
Large Boats are available in:
Boarding works much like you would expect. Right-click an empty boat anywhere along the hull and you take the helm, regardless of which segment you clicked.
If somebody is already driving, you enter the free seat nearest to where you are aiming. Sneak and right-click to board as a passenger even when the helm is available.
Once aboard, you can move between seats using these keys:
J and K stop when you reach the ends instead of looping around.
Trying to enter an occupied seat swaps you with the person or creature sitting there. This is how a passenger can take the helm and how a driver can hand control to somebody else.
A boat with nobody at the helm is completely valid and will happily drift.
Animals enter the nearest free seat that is not the helm. They also keep their assigned seats after reloading the world, so your livestock barge should still have everyone exactly where you left them.
Crafting recipe: Place a fishing rod directly above any boat.
Sail it and it fishes for you. While you are at the helm, moving through water, fish periodically appear in your inventory.
You can catch:
Cod is the most common catch, followed by salmon. Tropical fish and pufferfish are less common.
You do not need to hold a fishing rod or watch a bobber. Simply keep sailing. The Fish Boat catches roughly one fish every five seconds while moving.
If your inventory is full, the catch drops near you instead of disappearing.
Crafting recipe: Place a boat with five obsidian around it.

It sails on lava.
It does not merely survive lava. It moves across it with the same paddling and handling you would expect from a normal boat on water.
The boat rides directly on the surface, with smoke curling from the hull and the occasional lava pop. The item itself is also fireproof, so accidentally dropping it in the Nether is not a disaster.
There is no cap in the code. The limit is how many planks you feel like crafting.
Not within a single craft. All the planks used in one recipe must match.
You can use a different wood during a later expansion, however. The newest planks determine what the entire boat looks like.
Not yet. Those two boats use their own dedicated recipes. Wood variants currently apply only to Large Boats.
Yes.
No. Steering it through water is the entire mechanic.
The boat drifts. Anyone still aboard can use J to move toward the helm and take control.
