Minecart

A minecart is a ridable vehicle entity that runs on rails and can be used to transport both players and mobs.

Once placed, minecarts can be retrieved by attacking them for some time. One attack from a pickaxe, sword or axe is enough for a minecart to drop in item form, provided the player's attack cooldown is reset‌[Java Edition only]. A minecart is also destroyed if it makes contact with a cactus, or if shot with a bow/crossbow. Critical hits are not applied to minecarts, although the particles suggest otherwise.

Minecarts with command blocks can be given to the player with the /give command or through the Creative inventory under certain conditions‌[Java Edition only]; minecarts with spawners‌[Java Edition only] are available only via the /summon command. Each drop 1 minecart when broken.
