Minecarts

Minecarts are mounts that allow players to ride on Minecart Tracks. There are currently 25 /  3 /  1 different Minecart(s).

On, Minecarts need to be equipped in the Minecart equipment slot, overriding the use of the Wooden Minecart. On, the ordinary Minecart is the default and it cannot be changed.

When the player is near a Minecart Track, pressing the hotkey or pressing the  key on a point on the track causes a Minecart to spawn, which the player is automatically placed in. Once inside, the and  direction keys either accelerate, decelerate, or reverse the cart's movement. The cart will maintain its current speed and direction if no keys are pressed and no obstacles are reached. The cart can also "jump" with the key.

To exit the Minecart (which causes the Minecart to despawn), the player can use a hook, press the hotkey, or cancel the buff ( right-clicking the icon,  selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu,  double-tapping the icon, or  canceling the buff from the buffs screen). The Minecart will also despawn if the player jumps off the tracks, lands on blocks, and attempts to move sideways.

Upon colliding with an enemy, the Minecart will do damage not amplified by any damage amplifiers. The critical chance used by the collision is equal to the highest critical chance out of the player's Melee, Ranged, or Magic critical chance. Knockback is equal to (5 + 25 * currentSpeed), Damage is equal to (25 + 55 * currentSpeed) unless stated otherwise, modified by the random damage variation.

Weapons and tools, as well as most other items except hooks, can be used while riding a Minecart.

Trivia

 * The Minecarp's name is a portmanteau, combining the words Minecart and  fish.
 * Its tooltip is a reference to the original teaser it was first shown in.
 * The Mechanical Cart is the only Expert-exclusive item that must be crafted.
