Minecart
minecraft:minecartA minecart is a rideable vehicle that travels along rails, carrying players or mobs across long distances at up to 8 blocks per second. It is crafted from 5 iron ingots and can be combined with a chest, furnace, hopper, or TNT to create specialized variants for storage, propulsion, automation, or demolition.
FAQ
How do I make a minecart go faster?
Lay down powered rails to accelerate it with redstone. Minecarts merged together on a straight track also hold their speed better than a single cart.
How do I get out of a moving minecart?
Press the sneak key while riding and the minecart will eject you to a safe nearby block.
Can a minecart move without rails?
Yes, but only briefly. A minecart can be pushed across open ground, though it decelerates rapidly within a block or two.
What special minecart variants can I craft?
Combining a minecart with a chest, furnace, hopper, or TNT creates a storage minecart, a self-propelled minecart, a hopper minecart for automatic item pickup, or an explosive minecart, respectively.
