If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it 'snaps' to those tracks. Consequently, the player falls inside the minecart.Īfter rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If none are available, the player is deposited directly above the minecart. When a minecart is exited, it searches for an adjacent or diagonal 2×2×3 area to put the player 1.5 blocks away from the cart. Players can exit the minecart by pressing sneak, however, if there is only one block of headroom above the cart, the player takes 1 of suffocation damage. If a mob walks in front of an empty minecart, it is pulled into the cart. The player can slowly move the minecart forward while riding it, by pressing forward.
Once inside, an external impulse may be needed to make the minecart start moving.
Minecarts can be ridden by pressing the 'use' control on them.
