'''Minecarts''' allow a player to ride on [[Minecart Track]]s.
 
   
The default Minecart is the {{eicons|1.3.0.1}} [[Wooden Minecart]] / {{eicons|1.3.0.1|invert=y}} [[Minecart]]. It is not an obtainable item.
+
'''Minecarts''' are [[mounts]] that allow players to ride on [[Minecart Track]]s. There are currently {{eicons|1.4.0.1}} 25 / {{eicons|1.3.0.1|not=1.4.0.1}} 3 / {{eicons|1.3.0.1|invert=y}} 1 different Minecarts.
  +
  +
On {{eversions|1.3.0.1|short=y}}, Minecarts need to be equipped in the Minecart [[equipment slot]], overriding the use of the Wooden Minecart. On {{eversions|1.3.0.1|invert=y|short=y}}, the ordinary Minecart is the default and it cannot be changed.
  +
  +
When the player is near a Minecart Track, pressing the {{key|mount}} hotkey or pressing the {{key|open}} key on a point on the track causes a Minecart to spawn, which the player is automatically placed in. Once inside, the {{key|right}} and {{key|left}} 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|jump}} key.
   
  +
To exit the Minecart (which causes the Minecart to despawn), the player can use a hook, press the {{key|mount}} hotkey, or cancel the [[buff]] ({{icon/desktop}} right-clicking the icon, {{icon|console|old-gen}} selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu, {{icon/mobile}} double-tapping the icon, or {{icon/3ds}} 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.
On the {{eversions|1.3.0.1}}, Minecarts need to be equipped in the Minecart equipment slot, overriding the use of the [[Wooden Minecart]].
 
   
  +
[[Weapons]] and [[tools]], as well as most other items except hooks, can be used while riding a Minecart.
On the {{desktop}}, {{mobile}}, and {{3DS}} versions, if the player is within a few blocks of placed Minecart Track, they can press the {{key|mount}}{{icon/desktop|small=y}} / tap the track{{icon/mobile|small=y}} / {{key|xb-a}}{{icon/3ds|small=y}} to grapple to the track and appear on a Minecart.

    A player riding in a minecart.

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

    On PC version PC, Console version Console, Mobile version Mobile, Old Chinese version Old Chinese, tModLoader version tModLoader, and tModLoader 1 tModLoader Legacy, Minecarts need to be equipped in the Minecart equipment slot, overriding the use of the Wooden Minecart. On Old-gen console version Old-gen console, Windows Phone version Windows Phone, and 3DSNintendo 3DS version, the ordinary Minecart is the default and it cannot be changed.

    When the player is near a Minecart Track, pressing the Quick Mount hotkey or pressing the  Interact key on a point on the track causes a Minecart to spawn, which the player is automatically placed in. Once inside, the ▶ Right and ◀ Left 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 Jump key.

    To exit the Minecart (which causes the Minecart to despawn), the player can use a hook, press the Quick Mount hotkey, or cancel the buff (Desktop only right-clicking the icon, Console versionOld-gen console version selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu, Mobile version double-tapping the icon, or Nintendo 3DS version 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.

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