Boats cannot be broken in 2 or 3 swings with any weapon or fist (java parity)
Boats are tedious to break, even when you have a weapon, and you have to continuously click the boat to many times until it actually breaks, this is super annoying to do
Steps to reproduce:
1 place a boat
2 start breaking it
3 you will notice it takes quite a while until it actually breaks (even if you try this with a weapon)
