Free method of transportation. Minecarts! No Energy required!

[DanielUSA]

The minecarts are glitched right now so if you don't mind moving around your world slowly; make some wooden tracks (or normal iron rails) and build a minecart; and push forward! You don't need any kind of locomotion or energy! You can also push other carts too.

 

I already posted to the tracker but you could check it out for yourself. It is slow but you could move a cart with a chest or maybe two carts with a chest (haven't tested two) up inclines without having powered rails or burning fuel in minecarts with furnaces.

My favorite minecart powersource was being pushed by a little slime - failing that though you can hold up a carrot and pigs will push you along (pigs, of course, being the one true form of transport in minecraft).

Or just kill a bat and craft a bunch of strongboxes.

Of course pigs!

 

Did you know you can feed a pig trail mix and it will fly? If you have a saddle you can fly on a pig.

 

 

I don't know about you but I have gone for long periods of times when I can't find a bat.

 

For example I wanted to role play that I was building a rocket in my barn and I use mine carts to haul my stuff up to the second story of my barn. I wanted to use the mine carts with chest and then burn sticks in mine carts with furnaces so they push my metal ingots upstairs where I can compress them to make parts.

Itemducts?

Are minecarts really supposed to go up hills? I just read it on the tracker that it is a vanilla feature. I remember trying to do this on Minecraft PS3 edition and the carts don't travel up hill.
