For those who find the default speed of minecarts in Minecraft a bit sluggish, there’s an exciting solution at hand. The game now allows players to adjust the movement speed of minecarts using a simple gamerule command. This feature opens up new possibilities for creativity and efficiency in gameplay.
How to Change Minecart Speed in Minecraft
By default, minecarts travel at a speed of 8 meters or blocks per second. However, players can modify this speed using the minecartMaxSpeed command. The syntax for this command is straightforward:
/gamerule minecartMaxSpeed
It’s important to note that this command requires cheats to be enabled. If you’re playing in survival mode, you’ll need to manually enable cheats, while in creative mode, they are enabled by default. Once cheats are activated, players can either increase or decrease the minecart speed according to their preferences.
How to Make Minecart Go Faster in Minecraft
Many players seek to enhance the speed of their minecarts. To achieve this, simply set the max movement speed to a value greater than 8. The permissible range for this value is from 9 to 1000. To maximize the minecart's speed, input the following command:
/gamerule minecartMaxSpeed 1000
Should you wish to revert to the default speed, you can easily do so by entering the command with a value of 8.
How to Make Minecart Go Slower in Minecraft
If a slower pace is desired, players can adjust the minecart speed to below 8. The values that can be used range from 1 to 7, as only whole and positive numbers are accepted. For the slowest possible speed, the command to use is:
/gamerule minecartMaxSpeed 1
To execute this command, open the chat with the T key, type in the command, and press Enter. It’s as simple as that!
This straightforward process of modifying minecart speed can significantly enhance gameplay, especially for players looking to create intricate redstone machines, efficient farms, or thrilling rollercoaster rides. The ability to customize speed adds a new layer of fun and creativity to the Minecraft experience.
