Question

Can this be done in Minecraft PE?

Community Answer

Yes! Thanks to the new update in 0.15.0, it can! If you haven't updated, try this: Add a space that is a 9x9 flat square in the ground except one space in the middle. In the hole, place as many minecarts as you can. Make a pathway of 1 block near the 9x9 square, break a block, and enjoy.

Question

What is an Observer? I don't see it in PS4 or Windows 10.

Community Answer

An Observer Block is a part of the Redstone mechanism. It sounds as though you haven't updated your Minecraft recently in Windows or PS4. Do so and it should show up.

Question

I did everything the instructions told me, but the car did not move, what went wrong?

Community Answer

Maybe the steering piston was not in the perfect position, the face must be looking toward the front.

Question

Can I use pressure plates, buttons, or levers to start the car in Minecraft?

Kuzma Tkachenko

Community Answer

You can use a slime block to prevent the lever/button (not pressure plate) from staying in midair when car is driving but this is a bit tricky. But you can break the lever/button when the car is driving instead.

Question

I follow these instructions every single time but when I break the final Redstone block, the sticky piston just goes back to it's original state and the car doesn't move. What should I try?

Kuzma Tkachenko

Community Answer

Maybe the piston was already activated but if it was already activated it would stay like that? You might have a mod that makes activated redstone deactivated. Or maybe it's a glitch.

Question

How do I move the car if it doesn't move?

Randall Roach

Community Answer

Find a flat space and have 1 block of air between the ground and the air. If there is something in the way of that flat space, it will not move until you move whatever is blocking it.

Question

How do I make a steerable and controllable car in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Without mods, such a feature does not exist in Minecraft yet. For a similar experience, use mine carts. They work with restraint; however, they can be just as fun.

Question

Can I put other blocks around it to decorate it?

Community Answer

You can, but you have to place them on the slime blocks, and there can't be more than 1 more block, so it not really worth the try.

Question

Can I decorate my car?

Guy_That_Is_Smart

Community Answer

Yes, you can. The only (and big) downside of it is that when your car starts to move, it will leave the decorating blocks behind, and decorating blocks in front of the car will prevent it from moving.
