Talk:Minecart


 * The "Energy Conservation" section needs to be reworded in easily understood english, and then summarized. If the numbers are necessary, use them in a separate paragraph from the explanation in an example. This way the idea and the practical use are separate, making the it much easier to read. -KinoftheFlames 07:41, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Needs a explanation of how to build tilted slopes? or is there one somewhere else?


 * Any chance of moving storage-carts to its own page? I don't like the redirect. --Arlnet 05:53, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Lava/Water
Should probably discuss how they effect minecarts. Yes no? Zetal
 * Could go to trivia. according to my (not quite intentional) tests, minecarts can be lit on fire by turning right next to a fire or lava block, which does not hurt the player. Turning next to water blocks can extinguish the minecart. I have video proof here (lava lights cart on fire and water extinguishes it about 20 seconds later in the video).

Minecart/Mine Cart
So why is the incorrect one-word title the standard wiki form of referencing this object? Just wondering. JohnnyMadhouse 05:02, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Because they are named Minecart in one word in the game. Taurentius 18:37, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Cape
I've found that if you ride a minecart (dunno if it's just during the holidays) you instantly get a cape with a christmas tree on. Can somebody confirm that this happens to everyone? Cahootie 12:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You always have the cape on, it's not special to minecarts. Just look in thirdperson. – ultradude25 ( T at 06:11, 24 December 2010 (CST)

Walls
I've noticed that walls next to a minecart slow it down significantly. Not sure if a roof above them does, but I think this should be added to the article, but not sure where... maybe the speed section? --Cornpopz 04:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Pig booster glitch break
It seems that when you get into bed to skip night time, or an unmanned pig minecart collides with something, the glitch breaks until it is manned again. Is this significant to add and/or can anyone confirm this? The Burnt Fish 22:16, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Pressure plates
I just discovered that minecarts can activate pressure plates! Very useful! Taurentius 18:37, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
