Why does my obsidian boat sink?

So I played the new Minecraft snapshot 15w14a, and I saw a obsidian boat in my creative inventory. I put it in the water, but it sank immediately.

Why does my obsidian boat sink?


Solution 1:

Because it is an April Fool's joke.

Solution 2:

After realiasing you were talking about the base game not the FORGE-Mod I found this Article.

When checking all the content I am sure it is an April Fool's Day post.

We have removed the ability to directly harm other creatures. You should be rewarded for helping, not hurting.

Seems pretty clear to me.
