A '''minecart with furnace''' is a [[furnace]] inside a [[minecart]]. It can be powered with [[coal]] or [[charcoal]] to propel it across a [[rail]] line for a limited time, which can be used to move other minecarts.

== Obtaining ==
Minecarts with furnace can be retrieved by attacking them, and by doing so they drop as an [[item]]. [[Critical hits]] are not applied to them, although the particles suggest otherwise.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

== Usage ==
Minecarts with furnaces are placed in the same way as other minecarts. They do not have a GUI, unlike a [[furnace]].

Minecarts with furnaces can be powered, done by feeding fuel ([[coal]] or [[charcoal]]) into the furnace minecart with the {{Control|use}} button. The fuel is consumed immediately and it starts to move in the same direction the player clicked toward. Pressing {{Control|use}} always turns it to that direction, even when not holding coal.

Any piece of valid fuel, added at any time, increases the total range by an additional 3600 ticks (equal to 180 seconds or 3 minutes). The upper limit is 32767 ticks, approximately 27 minutes.

When powered, minecarts with furnaces cover 240m per minute (about 4&nbsp;m/s, slightly slower than walking speed) or 720m per piece of coal. They do not accelerate beyond this speed when going downhill or on active [[powered rail]]s, and as long as they remain powered, they do not slow down when going uphill, on inactive powered rails, or when pushing or pulling other minecarts.

If a powered furnace minecart is derailed and then pushed back onto a rail, it starts moving again in the direction it came from, so they are not easily turned around in this state unless a player is nearby to redirect it with {{Control|use}}.

Minecarts with furnaces can climb up steep inclines while pushing other minecarts as long as they have fuel. If a minecart with furnace reaches a slope while pulling another minecart, the pulled minecart is switched to the forward position so that it can be pushed along the slope instead of pulled.

When a minecart with furnace bumps into another minecart or multiple minecarts, the other minecarts are pushed forward with great speed. The furnace minecart continues on with its own speed. Because of this speed difference, some of the minecarts may end up inside unloaded chunks on straight tracks.

[[File:FurnaceMinecartTrain.png|thumb|right|A Minecart train powered by furnace minecarts.]]
A furnace minecart can be made to pull up to four other minecarts. All minecarts in this train move at the constant speed of the furnace minecart. Trains are formed when a minecart is pushed into the back of a powered furnace minecart or a short-enough train. These shunts are fragile at best and easily come undone, but some methods are stronger than others. For example, pushing a minecart into a furnace minecart and then powering the furnace gives a weaker shunt than pushing the furnace minecart into the other minecart against a wall, and then powering the furnace in the other direction.

A high-speed minecart running into the back of a furnace minecart going in the same direction automatically creates a weak shunt with it, pulling it along.

Pulling a minecart with TNT causes it to explode.

|-
|90° turn in track||Jettisoned backward
|-
|Turn toward north/south or east/west that is not the direction the train was shunted in||Train derails
|}

When a train comes to a turn, the shunt comes undone with the pulled minecart jettisoned backward. The correct way to make such a turn is having the shunt undone before a turn, and then make the two rejoin on a straight rail later by having the pulled cart catch up with the minecart with furnace.<ref name=mango/>

Since the train runs slower on a fully powered track than a normal minecart (~5 m/s compared to 8m/s), a train pulled by an unpowered furnace minecart is ideal for AFK farms involving breaking or placing blocks like [[nether wart]].<ref name=mango>{{ytl|pRLiAQfhTG8|Why The Furnace Minecart Isn't As Useless As You Think|ilmango|August 22, 2018}}</ref>

== Properties ==
The coal is not stored as an item in the entity, but in the object data in the fuel property as a time in ticks. ''Fuel'' is a short value, i.e. a maximum of 32767 ticks, which is about 27 minutes. However, {{cmd|/summon furnace_minecart ~ ~ ~ {Fuel:32000} }} alone doesn't make it go since it doesn't have a direction. It can be right-clicked on a track to give it a direction, or it can be summoned with the properties ''PushX'' and ''PushZ'' set, which are responsible for the direction. The <code>Motion</code> property of every entity allows for movement of the minecart, but it does not direct the minecart to move on its own.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with furnaces use the Friendly Creatures sound category for [[Sound#Entity-dependent categories|entity-dependent sound events]].<ref group=sound name=rollsource>{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
*The minecart with furnace is excluded from {{BE}} on purpose. In a tweet, [[Jeb]] considered removing it from {{JE}}.<ref>{{tweet|jeb|699241247391772672|I think we will phase out the furnace minecraft ''(sic)''|15 Feb 2016}}</ref>
**When converting a [[Legacy Console Edition]] world to a [[Bedrock Edition]] world, any present minecarts with furnaces are converted into a normal minecart.
**Despite the above-described poor standing of the minecart, it was most recently briefly featured in an animation in the [[Minecraft Live 2022]], where one was depicted as moving a train of about 20 minecarts at a higher than normal speed.
