Boats & Expanding the idea of fishing

[xeezy]

So while reading another suggestion, I thought of the idea of the ability to build a boat and go out there and explore. That would mean you wouldn't have to look for bridges as such. I also think that the boat should probably remain where it is and have it not possible to take it out back into your inv/onto the land. Or it could be a place-able item just like a campfire but you'd have to place it in the water.

Out in the sea, it could be possible to be attacked by sharks, could be possible for a tsunami or something along these lines to hit your boat and you'd get shipwrecked.. basically washed up on the shore of a random island that already exists in your world. You could also fish while out on the big sea, and with this I'm thinking also about expanding the idea of fishing and make it so you can get bigger fish while out on the big sea, and small fish out in the ponds. Fish types I think would be too much, but also a possibility to be added once everything else is done, as it wouldn't be as necessary. Getting bigger fish out in the sea would be a pro, but then of course there'd have to be a con, which would be that you could be attacked by sharks/shipwreck etc as I said before.

Infact, I think that you could build either a boat or a raft; a raft would of course require less resources, but it'd be hard to control I guess and would have all sort of minuses to it. The building of the boat, I'm not sure what exact resources you could use. I think that you could make the parts and then craft the boat, or just craft the boat straight away. If you have an idea about the crafting, just post and I'll add it to here.
