Water

is the primary obstacle of Build A Boat For Treasure. Its main purpose is to move boats through stages and towards the Treasure.
==Types of water==
There are two types of water in Build A Boat For Treasure: harmful river water and safe, "shallow" waters.
===River water===
River water is the main type of water in the game, occupying the center of almost every stage. While in contact with river water, players take approximately 20 damage per second until they either die or exit the water. The damage can be somewhat mitigated by constantly jumping or joining a laggy server. In addition, players will also sink slightly while in the water, allowing them to walk on the platform of sand underneath.
 may also be replaced in some stages, such as by Lava in the Lava Stage. Others change its texture or color, such as the Bowling Stage and Orchestra Stage.
===Shallow water===
Water that floods the Building Space when launching and the lighter-colored water near the Treasure will not deal damage. Certain stages feature decorative rivers along their banks, such as the Cherry Blossom Stage. The water in these stages can move the player, but also do not deal damage.
==Trivia==
* While water in Build A Boat For Treasure was visually designed to replicate real-life water, the ROBLOX texture used for it is actually sand colored blue.
* In an earlier update, the Levitation animation pack from the ROBLOX catalog would cause the player to hover over the water, preventing them from taking damage. This was later patched in an unknown update.
*The RGB color of the water is roughly 0, 118, 204.
