Minecart with Furnace

Minecarts with furnaces (also called furnace minecarts or powered minecarts) are self-propelling minecarts with furnaces inside.

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

Usage
Powered minecarts are placed the same as other minecarts.

To move the minecart, face the direction you want it to move, the fuel (coal or charcoal) on the minecart. Your fuel will be consumed once used. Each piece of fuel powers a minecart with furnace for 3 minutes. Adding another piece of fuel at any time increases the total range by another 3 minutes. In creative, the minecarts do not need to be powered with coal.

To change direction, press the use button while facing the needed direction. When a powered minecart runs out of fuel, it will not break. However, minecarts with furnace cannot push other carts around 180-degree hairpin turns.

A player in a cart adds significant weight, requiring more power to push. If too much stress is put on the minecart with furnace then it will stop. Clicking with button activates it again.

Minecarts with furnaces 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 furnaces 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.

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

Trivia

 * A stack of 64 coal will power the Minecart for 3 hours and 12 minutes, over a distance of just over 128,220 blocks.
