A lot of mods have made jump pads and bouncy blocks to make minecraft a better experience. Pistons, a very popular mod, was implemented into 1.7. Unfortunatley, they can't be used to jump higher. Here is a possible solution: the Springboard. It is crafted like so:
When powered by Redstone or a switch, the springboard will swing open, launching anything on it at a perfect 45 degree angle upwards. If it is a block, it is converted into item form. Just think of the possibilities!
-Compact TNT catapults!
-Launching items up from underground mines!
-Automatic Cobblestone factories!
-Flying in a minecart!

Suggestions, criticism, hate?
You contradict yourself, if it breaks blocks into items then minecarts would break and so would TNT.
A minecart is an entity, like a zombie or the player. Unlit TNT is a block, but armed TNT is an entity, thus both can be launched without breaking
