The new Launch Boat icon
Launch Boat is a button in Build A Boat For Treasure that floods the Building Space and un-anchors all blocks placed by a team, effectively sending their boat into the river.
Pressing the button bring up a pop-up which asks, "Are you sure you want to launch your boat?" with a "Yes" and "No" button. However, the player cannot do so until at least one block has been placed. If there is a team with three people or more, it will require two votes to launch (three with four, etc.).
Once launching is confirmed by a player, it disappears for that player only. This means the button will still be there if the boat is launched by other teammates. If a player dies after launching, the button returns for them. It will also return upon teleporting back from opening the Treasure.
If a player launches without saving, they will lose their unsaved progress on their boat, unless the player resets while their boat is still on the plot, then saves. This, though, will save the unanchored version in its current position. Launching a boat while it is still loading will cause the all already-loaded blocks to be un-anchored. In the past, a boat would continue loading anchored blocks despite the launch.
The voting function can be abused using team switching. For example, when a team consists of three players, two votes are required to launch all boats. A player can then vote to launch, then leave the team. Since only one vote would be required now, the launch automatically occur.

Trivia[]
- The theme that plays when the player launches the boat is a slowed down, instrumental version of "Champagne Sky" by Haberdashery.
- Sometimes, on the desktop version of ROBLOX, changing the size and shape of the window also distorts the launch button, causing it to appear flattened or stretched.
