Before people get confused, I mean minecarts and boats only when I say vehicles (not cars or planes).
The idea is this:
The player will have the ability to place certain blocks inside a minecart or boat.
So you can have a minecart with a workbench in it, another with a furnace in it, another with a chest, another with a block of TNT, etc (all functional - you could store items in the chest, smelt items in the furnace and detonate the TNT!).
Certain blocks would not be placeable in the vehicles - for example, it wouldn't allow sand, as that'd be kinda pointless :tongue.gif:
Note that if a vehicle has a block, a player/mob CANNOT sit in it. That should be pretty obvious, though!
Also, to compliment this idea, players would also have the ability to connect vehicles together.
For boats, that means a canoe could be made. For minecarts, that means a little train could be made.
Perhaps only up to 3 or 4 could be linked in a chain.
In order to link them, string could be used, or craftable chain links (so, the player could click on one vehicle, click on another nearby vehicle, and they'd be linked together). Or perhaps if you right click to place a vehicle with the cursor on another vehicle, it'd be placed with a connection to that vehicle.
I would definitely support being able to connect minecarts to eachother. That way you could have a furnace cart in front, and sit in a cart attached behind it, and right click the furnace cart to move indefinitely without powered rails. Kind of like one of those carts you crank the handle up and down to keep moving.

I like the boat idea.
Add another type of boat and minecart, the bed boat / minecart. Sleep on the go!
Thanks for the support!
I was thinking of vehicles being connected via string, or iron chain links?
Iron links for carts.
And you can't sleep on the go either way, as activities (such as a minecart journey) are not simulated during sleep.

Well, it was suggested in tandem with my other idea, as the two compliment each other.
Thanks for the support, everyone.
