MineCars

INTRODUCING:

 

100% Survival-friendly!

Fit Minecraft style!

NO PLAYER.JSON

Supports English & Chinese languages

I have spent over 6 years working on this project to ensure that every pixel is intricately coloured, every line of code is fully optimized, and every entity is unique from another. All this - just to provide the best experience for you.

This high-quality addon adds numerous new vehicles, Minecars, which resemble the vanilla Minecart's style. It also adds various wagons you can attach to the Minecars, and challenging enemy minecars you can fight with! Each Minecar has a unique function and niche in your Minecraft world, such as providing lighting, transporting cargo, mining ores, constructing railways, ramming mobs, and even blasting fishes! They used groundbreaking and pioneering (in 2022) algorithms for mining cooldown, scoreboard storage & retrievement in stacks, ram seating, chest opening & closing animations, tilting animations, id-based teleportation, variable-based hurting animation, exploding debris... and more! All this, WITHOUT experiments!

• you can use leather to repair the Leather Envelope in a Crafting Table; phantom membrane to repair the Phantom Envelope
• you can only attach a balloon envelope that is fully repaired to the car
• the Leather Envelope has 8 hp; the Phantom Envelope has 16 hp

• the anchor can hook ANY mobs/minecars (except players)

Can't get up...now you can!

When you don't have a Drill Ballooncar...

 

 

'Reliant'  Default MineCar

Father of All Minecars

Although it lacks special abilities, it supports INFINITE customizations!

• NEW: you can put any mob head/carved pumpkin on its front! (for Dragon Head, craft a Dragoncar instead)
• Note: If you want to attach both a mob head and a banner, you MUST attach the mob head BEFORE the banner! This is because when you attach a mob head, the mob head is in the same slot as the banner at first and is moved to the head slot later.
  • Carved Pumpkin - for Halloween decoration

  • Creeper Head - sSS... no boom :(
  • Steve Head - WTF?!

'Jean'  Dragoncar

After Random Kerbal's institute discovered that the dragon head's soul could be revived, we decided to exploit the potential of the once deadly beast by creating a Frankenstein contraption that traps the dragon's head in an artificial body of a minecar. Because this contraption is partly alive, it provides many UNIQUE traits & abilities that belong to an ender dragon and are not found in any other minecars. Legend says that it even attempted to revive itself through a Dragon Egg.  

• has 36hp
• does not need fuel as it uses the dragon's energy to move!
• Ender Dragon can't damage it as they are the same species!

Jumping Ability:

• can jump up to 15 blocks high and does not take fall damage!
• when in mid-air, it can fly for a short distance

ROAR Ability:

• damages enemies in 360° by 10 hp and knocks them away
• when roaring, it is immune to all attacks

>pic: fighting ender dragon with it<

>pic: 10/10 animations<

>pic: jump...while you ROAR<

 

 

'PONG'  Bumpercar

Why make this? Just for FUN!

• when crashed with other bumper minecars/slimes/magma cubes, they bounce away
• slow crash = short distance bounce; fast crash = long distance bounce
• you can dye its flag in 15 different colors for 15 different teams!
• you cannot attach wagons to it

EXTREME game idea: You fall into the lava, you DIE

 

 

'Lumine'  Lantern MineCar

• has dynamic lighting!
• to turn the lantern on/off, you crouch and interact with it

best for scouting missions!

 

 

'Spirit'  Soul Lantern MineCar

Tired of the boring Ol' Lantern Minecar? Why not try out its companion?

• scare away piglins!

• absorb the soul of mobs (except player) within a 3-block radius and give them weakness

Soul Speed Ability:

• when on soul sand or soul soil, its wheels can absorb the souls from the ground to drive faster! You can see its wheels surrounded by souls.
• I also make it drive faster underwater. When combined with water-breathing soul radiance, this becomes a submarine!

Soul Radiance Ability:

• enchant with a lingering potion to grant the effect to all players within a 3-block radius
• the potion in the car will NEVER deplete

 

 

'Rammer'  Shovel MineCar

Ramming Ability:

• When ramming (driving above 7m/s), mobs that it hits can stuck onto its shovel and take constant damage. Damage amount depends on its upgrade.
• Stuck mobs will leave a bloodstain, which can be washed off by driving into water/rain (shhh...)
• For the Default Upgrade
  • it damages stuck mobs by 6hp/tick
  • stuck mobs can get off when the minecar has no driver

Shovel Extension Arms:

• to add the Shovel Arms, use it to interact with the car
• it increases the capturing range by 3 blocks so you can ram mobs further away!

 

Shovelling Ability:

• to use this, sneak and interact to lower the shovel
• when the shovel is lowered, ramming does not work
• turns grass, rooted dirt, mycelium, podzol => grass path
• turns dirt, coarse dirt => farmland
• to change the width of the shovel, you can drive in different directions:

<figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-left">

It is not wise to ram creepers!

 

2 Upgrades:

 

 

'Chestnut'  Chest MineCar

The chest actually opens!

-has a CHEST(nut), no big deal

-has the inventory of a chest

-cannot be sieved by hoppers

 

 

'Groundbreaker'  Drill MineCar

Best for cave expeditions!

To prevent accidentally destroying your own bases, all drills CANNOT break blocks that do not generate naturally (crafting table, stairs, iron block)!

• has dynamic lighting
• drill can be turned on/off
• slower than other minecars
• For the Default Upgrade:
  • it breaks 2x2 tunnel
  • breaks hard blocks (stone, blackstone) slower and shakes the player badly

>staircase pic here<

Plunging Ability:

• fall from a high place to activate
• the damage dealt is affected by the drill's upgrade & fall distance:
  • 4 blocks fall
    • damage nearby entities by 10 hp
    • break 2 blocks below

  • 10 blocks fall
    • damage nearby entities by 30 hp
    • break 6 blocks below
    • crush blocks around it
  • for Netherite Boi Upgrade, falling >= 7 blocks create a fire ring on the ground

Let's SMASH some mobs with it!

 

2 Upgrades:

 

 

"Juggernaut"  Gun MineCar

• the gun is a separate entity from the car
• to fire a projectile manually, use the projectile to interact with the minecar while riding it

• to reload, use a projectile to interact with the gun (NOT the car!)
• 999 shots can be instantly reloaded using <mark class="pen-green">[/function reload_gun]
• when the gun is loaded, it will automatically shoot hostile mobs, including zombies, skeletons, creepers...
• projectiles can be retrieved by interacting with an empty hand or picking up the minecar

loading ammo...

retrieving ammo...

Gun Minecar's Target:

Sometimes you might want to shoot non-hostile mobs like iron golems or blast through walls... You can use this!

• you can place it on the ground, walls, and even ceilings!
• Gun Minecar will prioritize shooting it before any other mobs
• can be targeted up to 32 blocks away.; the gun can even blast through walls to shoot it!
• when hurt, it will drop as an item

Note: Due to a Minecraft bug where entities cannot shoot targets behind walls, the Target will spawn 4 additional targets at its NSEW sides. This allowed the gun to use to blast through walls using cannonballs!

>pic: blasting through a castle wall<

Different Modes:

 

2nd Feature of the Gun!

• the gun on Gun Minecar can be used independently!
• while holding the gun &  standing still, interact with your screen to summon the gun
• the gun cannot target automatically, but you can shoot manually
• Cons of using the gun independently:
  1. 1. when firing large projectiles, the recoil of the gun damages players (8 heartpoints) who are holding it
  2. 2. accuracy of large projectiles is greatly reduced, as you cannot hold it steadily with the recoil

 

 

"Mailbox"  Constructor MineCar

• a "compound entity" (one entity rides on another). This will create some bugs, including the player sitting on the wrong seat if the riding entity gets destroyed, as well as not being able to go through portals
• used for placing large amounts of blocks. The types of blocks are determined by the 6 modes: rail, powered rail, torch, packed ice, bone meal, Cobblestone Generator
• to enable Mode6, interact with the machine with a" Minecar Constructor Cobblestone Generator"
• once crafted, its tool (Constructor Machine) cannot be detached
• very slow, but still faster than the player

How to Use:

• punch (left-click/tap screen) the machine with empty hands to activate/deactivate. You can also interact with the minecar while riding
• cannot be activated if there are no block/item stocks
• interact the machine to switch between the 6 modes, you CAN NOT switch to modes that have 0 stocks
• ONLY when deactivated, stocks can be reloaded
• ONLY when deactivated, stocks can be retrieved by sneaking and interacting with empty hands
• 999 all stocks can be instantly reloaded using [/function reload_railplacer]

The 6 Modes:

 

 

"Harvester" Farming MineCar

• a "compound entity" (one entity rides on another)
• used for planting crops in large fields. 7 different types of crops can be chosen: wheat, beetroot, carrot, potato, melon, pumpkin, nether wart
• all crops are planted in a 5 x 1 horizontal row below the minecar
• Melon & pumpkin stems will automatically be planted with a 1-block space in between each crop. Nether warts can only be planted on Soul Sand.
• crops that are fully grown (age 7) will automatically be harvested and replanted
• once crafted, its tools (Constructor Machine, Hoes, Seeders) cannot be detached

How to Use:

• punch (left-click/tap screen) the machine with empty hands only activates/deactivates its seeder. To activate/deactivate its hoe and seeder together, interact with it while riding the minecar.
• The seeder cannot be activated if there are no seed stocks. However, its hoe can still be activated.
• interact the machine to switch between the 7 modes, you CAN NOT switch to modes that have 0 seed stocks
• ONLY when deactivated, seed stocks can be reloaded
• ONLY when deactivated, seed stocks can be retrieved by sneaking and interacting with empty hands
• 999 of all stocks can be instantly reloaded using <mark class="pen-green">[/function reload_harvester]

BEST farming tool in all of MCPE's addons!

Best used with Constructor Minecar!

Largest crop field challenge, anyone???

 

 

===== The Illagercars =====

"Think you're invincible after having the minecars? Nope, this technology isn't unique to you, the illagers also have them! Where do they get them? How do they learn to drive??

Currently, RandomKerbal's Institute does not have much intel about their hot-road-styled minecars. One day they just raided our base and stole our minecar designs, just like those other pesky addon-stealing websites https://mcpehub.org/, https://mc-addons.com/, https://minecraft-pocket.com/, https://mcdlhub.com/, https://monster-mcpe.com/,and millions more... Yeah, crush them like how u destroy the illagers! They spawn in raids, or rarely, in your world with an illager as the rider and an illager banner attached. Be tactical and keep a distance, such as using the gun minecar or ballooncars, as fighting them closely can be lethal! Even if you defeated the illager rider, nearby illagers may take over the car! If you're not prepared, you can always disable their spawning.

 

Basic Illagercar

Mojang wouldn't like decapitation...

• spawns most commonly
• has a 10% chance to spawn with a player head - the only way to get player heads in survival!
• when there is no target, it moves to the closest village
• constantly damages surrounding entities by 2hp
• NEW: if captured, you can boost its speed using its built-in rockets and save tons of fireworks! To boost, press the jump key like how you dash a camel.

 

Soulager Illagercar

• spawns as commonly as the Basic Illagercar
• when there is no target, it will move to the closest village
• the car is harmless, BUT:
• the lantern absorbs your soul and gives you tons of debuffs: bad omen, poison, weakness, slowness...
• also gives the illager rider tons of buffs: strength, regen., absorption, resistance, fire resistance... (tip: unless you destroy the car first, the illager can't be killed easily)
• if you kill the illagers without destroying the car, the illager will drop 2 Dragon's Breath - an easy way to make lingering potions!

 

Ramlager Illagercar

• spawns most commonly
• fastest among all illagercars!
• you can get stuck onto the shovel  (tip: try punching the shovel)
• constantly damages stuck mobs by 6hp/tick
• when there is no target, it will move to the closest village

 

Drillager Illagercar

• spawns rarely underground
• constantly damages targets by 6hp/tick
• can break 2x2 tunnel
• can find you THROUGH WALLS!
• can damage your minecars!
• when there is no target, it will move to the closest village

 

Kamikager Illagercar

• only spawns in raids
• only spawns with vindicator/pillager, as evokers will run away from the player

After countless deaths at RandomKerbal's Institute, our survivors were finally able to organize a list of what you should do to survive this menace:

• Use face-to-face combat! It will NOT explode like creepers when chasing you; it only explodes when you try to hide.
• SNEAK inside a house! Keeping quiet makes the illager think you're not there. If you don't, it won't hesitate to blow off your door after 5 seconds.
• BUILD YOUR WALLS 3 BLOCKS THICK! It won't waste its TNT if it can't blast through.
• FIND A DECOY! Tell a friend or iron golem to distract it from your front door.

<mark class="pen-red">Whatever you do, NEVER kill the driver!

 

 

===== The Wagons =====

 

Why limit yourself to one player per car, or one tool per car? Try the wagons now!

How to attach the wagons:

1. Get a wagon item. If you are in creative mode, get the one that is called "... Wagon", NOT the one that is called "... Wagon (unattachable)". Use the item to interact with the minecar. If you already have wagons attached to the minecar, interact with the last wagon.
2. If you already spawned the wagon in your world, simply drive your minecar BACKWARDS to the FRONT of the unleashed wagon. You don't need to pick up and reattach every single wagon. This is especially helpful if the wagons are carrying many items, have been customized with dyes or banners, or are connected to a long chain of wagons.

Afraid of losing your wagons?

All wagons will automatically teleport to their connected minecar if they are too far away (about 16-18 blocks). Since it uses an "ID" system, you should not have too many caravans in one world!

 

Basic Wagon

• carry 1 player/mob
• throw a Shulker Box onto it to transform it into a Shulker Wagon

 

Shulker Wagon

• the Shulker Box is a separate entity from the wagon
• to interact with the Shulker Box, aim at the top part
• when destroyed, the Shulker Box will keep its inventory and drop itself (better than Chest Wagons!)
• dropped Shulker Box will NOT despawn
• use any hoes to interact with the Shulker Box to tear them off

Dropped Shulker Box can be placed back onto wagons, minecarts & boats!

 

Campfire / Soul Campfire Wagon

• 100% functional portable cooker
• can load a 4x4 chunk around it
• campfire texture will change if you use other texture packs! (it uses the same texture as the block)
• unlike campfires, soul campfires are not extinguished by rain/splash potions

 

Chest Wagon

• has a chest with opening/closing animations
• has 27 inventory slots
• chest supports custom texture
• drop inventory when destroyed

 

Double Chest Wagon

<mark class="pen-green">Note: use "Pocket UI" on mobile devices for scrollable inventory UI.

• has 54 inventory slots

 

Hopper Wagon

• has a hopper

 

NEW: Hopper Wagon Hybrids

>Insert pic here<

When you attach a hopper wagon to a chest wagon or vice versa, they combine into one, new entity! It can pick up items like the Hopper Wagon, the combined inventory slots of the Hopper and chest wagons. The later wagon will take all the damage first and be destroyed before the original wagon starts to take damage.

 

TNT Wagon

• has a TNT. RUN
• explodes from fall damage, nearby explosions, or fire
• for kamikaze / trolling other players

 

Flatbed Wagon

• can carry up to 3 entities when deployed
• can be deployed (open) & retracted (close)
• when deployed, hitting it will cause the entities it is carrying to be ejected

 

Coffin Wagon

• fire immune
• reduces all incoming damage by 20%
• you can close the doors and hide inside!

Trust me, no one's gonna see you... 

• when hiding, you won't take any damage
• you can dye the carpet in 15 different colours!

• and add some glow squid ink!

Sleeping Feature

• to sleep/wake up, interact with the wagon while hiding inside
• Note: using an item (charging bows, eating foods) will also cause the player to interact with the entity in front, hence making you sleep/wake up.
• works in multiplayer!

I have hidden 5 UNIQUE messages that are shown when the player cannot sleep - find them all! One of them is related to sleeping in the Nether or End, but if you do so, you will know why it's called a "coffin"...
