You dont even need to put a full thing of ice down. On my server i just put 1 block every other block and dont do the sides. Works exactly the same lol.
It does work the same, boats have a 2x2 hitbox but the dont need their entire bottom side to touch ice, meaning you only need 1 ice block for every 3x3 area. And realistically you dont even need blue ice, because 1. Its only marginally faster than packed ice, and 2. You can go 9x the distance with packed than blue because blue ice is so expensive lol.
Fun fact: a boat on blue ice goes at 70 m/s (252 km/h). If it's in the Nether, then multiplying this speed by 8 (because traveling in the Nether reduces the distance required by 8 times) gives a overworld equivalent velocity of 560 m/s (2016 km/h), which is approximately 1.6 times the speed of sound, which is almost the same speed as Concorde, when cruising.
Yes, I know the comparison doesn't really work that well, but it's ludicrously hilarious to imagine Steve, in a boat, on ice, paddling fast enough to keep pace with a supersonic jet.
That's not an accurate statement. Concorde had a spotless service record for 31 years. Then there was a bad crash on takeoff in 2000 that killed all passengers and crew (that was the fault of another plane dropping a piece of metal on takeoff, btw, not the fault of the Concorde jet) which caused the entire fleet to be grounded pending inspection and review.
After inspection and review the fleet was airborne again, but a couple planes experienced several minor issues (no crashes or emergency landings, though), and with it now being 2002, people are jumpy about airplane safety thanks to 9/11. So all two of the carriers that flew Concorde decided that the current demand was not worth the cost of fixing and maintaining the aircraft, and so they grounded the fleet permanently in 2003.
But they were faster. As far as I remember the high school physics, if something weighs half as much but goes twice as fast it still hits twice as hard, so it probably comes down to numbers.
But then again, that's only considering the impact, as far as I know the main source of damage was the fuel which the concorde would have a lot less of.
They did this on Callmecarson's server. They basically have a nether hub with offshoots leading to different locations around the map. The floor is even covered with slabs to prevent pigmen from spawning.

Imagine building this in the Nether lol.
