Question

What do the other rails do?

Curry_Taco_Cat

Community Answer

There are different rails, with different uses. One type is the activator rail. Its pure use is to ignite TNT mine carts. Detector rails emit a redstone pulse when a mine cart goes over them, which is very useful for traps.

Question

How do you make a minecart with furnace?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

You can make a minecart with a furnace by placing a furnace and an empty minecart in a crafting table, with the furnace on top of the minecart. Furnace minecarts are exclusive to Java Edition, so this will not work in Bedrock Edition.

Question

How does a minecart with a hopper collect items?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

A minecart with a hopper collects items nearby it with a range that's a bit bigger than the cart itself. It also is able to take items out of containers above it and pick up items through a block directly above it. Additionally, you can place tracks over other hoppers and they'll pick up the items from the minecart with a hopper.

Question

How do you connect minecarts?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

Connecting minecarts only works in the Java edition of Minecraft. You just need to push the carts into each other and they should connect.
