A minecart with command block is an impulse‌^{[JE only]} or repeating‌^{[BE & EE only]} command block inside a minecart.

Obtaining[]

The minecart with command block is obtainable only using the command /give @s command_block_minecart, as it has no crafting recipe. It can also be summoned using the command /summon command_block_minecart. It can be broken like any other minecart, but only the minecart is retained, while the command block is lost.

Usage[]

The minecart with command block combines the functionalities of both minecarts and command blocks. Although the minecart visually contains an impulse command block, it functions more similarly to a repeating command block, and runs its command once every four game ticks when on an active activator rail. When it passes over a detector rail with a comparator connected next to it, it outputs the command block's result.
