This redstone design utilizes a bug to create self-propelled minecarts with infinite speed. This allows for efficient transportation of entities and items through rail networks and complex machinery. Extensive testing shows it handles curves well.
However, it cannot carry furnace minecarts or TNT minecarts due to the central module. If the minecart stays on the rails, it won’t explode. If it derails, it will continue moving.
The central module is straight, but you can redirect the minecart by moving the rails. This design was conceived for personal use in navigating a large mechanism by riding within the minecart. I hope this idea inspires others, and I would love to see what you create with it.
Materials Required
19 block types · 158 blocks · 33×11×13
Before You Build
This build uses 158 blocks across 19 block types – about 3 stacks in total, which fits inside a single shulker box. It occupies 33×13 blocks of ground and stands 11 blocks tall.
What to bring first
Survival or creative?
Every block in this build can be obtained in survival, so it can be built by hand without creative mode or commands.
How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Dispenser, Hopper, Observer, Piston, Rail, Redstone Torch, Redstone Wire, Repeater, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
