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)

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)
