Are people being serious here? What indication was given that they would phase out cart boosters? I mean, christ, there are extremely elaborate builds out there that depend on cart boosters.
Also, unless powered rails have been improved to the point that they can get a cart to max speed in three squares, they aren't a good replacement.

QQmoarplox. That's why I started transferring all my Boosters to Booster Rails. I'm already working on more tricks that I can do now without having to rely upon the space-consuming Bug.

Geeze, as if the addition of power rails themselves weren't enough of a hint, it's been weeks since Notch said he'd "fixed" the minecart glitch for 1.6.

They can, two power rails seems to get you to max velocity. They are never going to be as powerful as glitch boosters. Which is because, as much as I liked them, I must admit glitch boosters were OP.
I'm fairly new to the game (Version 1.3) but it was posted back then that Notch would get rid of them so I waitied until 1.5 when he put in the booster rails to start my exploration with minecarts. It's not like you didn't know they were going to go by-bye so you had ample time to start re-working your system.....

Notch said they were glitches that would be removed eventually 9 months ago.
The reason that people shouldn't complain about these carts is simple: We're beta testers.
Sure, if Notch had let this minecart bug get into the final game, and then he decided to remove it, then sure, complain. It's more valid then. But we're beta testing his game. He has the right to remove any bugs, or even any items, without you guys losing your **** over it. His updates aren't there to cater for your needs to have things you used to have in Minecraft, it's to bring his game closer to what he wants it to be when it's released.
It is a shame that pretty much every adventure map now has a section that is impassable because they don't work anymore. No more Escapecraft for me. But other than that, it's REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL.
Learn to play without bug exploiting,,,
He did it just to spite you, and you alone. Notch hates you. And you're adopted.
So how exactly were we supposed to boost carts before powered rails came around, eh?
you had a month to replace your glitch boosters with powered rails...
cry me a river
build a bridge
get over it
What you were supposed to do was use a powered minecart to push you, but since that didn't work so good notch implemented booster tracks.

You weren't? He put engines in carts for a reason. They were just too slow for you.
I can fix this :biggrin.gif: start a game on hard mode with this seed: 3666440496532277820

Here comes the WHAMBULANCE!!!!
