Minecarts

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

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.

If the player is within a few blocks of a Minecart Track, pressing (or  on it) will grapple the player to the track and appear on a minecart.
