The Rocket Minecart is easy to understand, as the name covers most of it. Basically, it's a minecart that can fly a certain distance. When you get in it, open the inventory, and you'll see an extra spot for the fuel. The fuel can be any type, and the ammount of fuel and the type of fuel determine how far the cart goes. When you put fuel in it, the cart moves. It moves faster than a normal cart on rails, but it doesn't fly until it goes off the rails. It can't fly unless it goes off the ground.


The cart requires steel, used in my previous thread.

The rocket minecrart looks like a normal minecart, but with a red plate in the front with exaust pipes in the back.


Idea thought up by MasterHalo937. Any relations to mods are not intended.

Personally, I think as a fuel it would require something with a fast burn quality as fuel, such as gunpowder, other fire charges, or tnt... wood, coal, lava shouldn't be able to cut it for achieving thrust power... nothing else makes much sense.

So... you leave your track, and automatically the thrusters engage, rocketing you straight forward until???? you smack into the side of a cliff or fall into the ground at high velocity? Dying a horrible and flaming death? is this supposed to be some sort of horrid death trap?

Right off the bat, you should not include an item from a different suggestion that isn't in the game.
If that item isn't used, this topic stands no chance.

And I don't understand the concept or point in this.
Minecarts already give the Roadrunner a run for his money and how do you control the thing?
I can't say I'd really being using an uncontrollable box in the air--I'll stick with Pearls and tracks.

The steel could be replaced with iron, and if the cart hits a wall, you won't take fall damage at the same height. The ammount of blocks you fall for fall damage will be thouroghly increased, but there is a point where you take fall damage. As for Bloody Phoenix, you could control it in the air. Beastlymandude, that's a good idea, a booster track, or maybe a launcher track, will boost all carts, but it will launch the Rocket Minecart, and only the rocket one, if it goes at an upwards slant. If it hits a wall, it would either break into the item (less preferable) or just bounce back a little. It could be fun to use, and good to use in a roller coaster.I can't really think of a new recipe for the Rocket Minecart. A new one would be appreciated if the current one doesn't make sense.
