Minecart item in Minecraft

What it does

Use an empty minecart on rails to sit in it, and sneak to get out. A push starts it, slopes speed it up, and Powered Rails boost it when powered and brake it when not. Mobs that get pushed into an empty cart sit down in it, which is a common way to move villagers to a new home.

Combining the minecart with a chest gives a Minecart with Chest for moving items, with a hopper a Minecart with Hopper that collects items from blocks above it, with a furnace a Minecart with Furnace that pushes itself when fueled, and with TNT a Minecart with TNT that explodes on an activator rail.

Minecarts do not stack, so each one takes a slot. Breaking one returns the cart, and abandoned mineshafts hide chest minecarts along their tracks.
