Minecart with Furnace

Minecarts with furnace (also called furnace minecarts or powered minecarts) are self-propelling minecarts with furnaces inside. Minecarts with furnace will propel along straight lenghts of track and pause after each bend in the track.

Obtaining
Powered minecarts can be broken like any other minecart, by it.

Usage
Furnace minecarts are placed the same as other minecarts. It does not have a visible interface with slots, like a furnace does.

To move the minecart, first face the direction you want it to move, then simply feed fuel (coal or charcoal) into it with the button. The fuel will immediately be consumed, and will provide power for 3 minutes. Any piece of fuel, added at any time, will increase the total range by an additional 3 minutes. Using the button with anything other than coal or charcoal in the main hand will not consume the item and the minecart with furnace will move for a few meters but quickly come to a halt.

Minecarts with furnace can climb up steep inclines while pushing or pulling other minecarts for as long as they have fuel.

The minecart with furnace will pause a few blocks after each bend in the track, after which the player must reactivate it with the button, unless the minecart with furnace is pulling another minecart. If a minecart with furnance is pulling another minecart and reaches a curve in the track, it will push the pulled minecart away in the opposite direction and continue powering along the track until it reaches another curve.

When a minecart with furnace is pulling another minecart with furnace they can go around curves without pausing, but they cannot pull a third minecart along, only push it forward. To achieve this, put a paused minecart with furnace on a piece of track and power another minecart with furnace into the first. They will move in the direction that the last minecart with furnace was going in and push any minecarts in front forward, all without pausing at curved tracks.

To change direction, press the button while facing the needed direction. A furnace minecart will not break when it runs out of fuel.

Minecarts with furnace on a level track will cover 204m per minute (about 3.4 m/s), or 612m per piece of coal. Pushing multiple minecarts may decrease the range slightly, depending on collisions. Minecarts with furnace can also pull up to four other minecarts behind them if the carts are first shunted together against a wall and then the furnace minecart is made to change direction.

When a Minecart with furnance bumps into another minecart or multiple minecarts, with or without player, the other minecart will be pushed forward with great speed, while the minecart with furnace continues at its own speed. When the minecart with furnace is instead pulling other minecarts they will both move at a constant speed.

Minecarts with furnace cannot be pushed or pulled by other minecarts when not powered, except by other powered minecarts with furnace, and will not accelerate on active powered rails when powered.

Entity data
Minecarts with furnace have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the entity. Their entity ID is.

ID
A minecart's ID distinguishes between the different minecart types.

Trivia

 * A stack of 64 coal will power the Minecart for 3 hours and 12 minutes, over a distance of just over 39,168 blocks.
