To the delight of all looking to fast travel early on,Minecraftallows players to boost their minecart speed from the known value of eight blocks per second to a striking and honestly game-breaking 1,000.
But contrary to what you might think, doing that won’t demand the use of outlandish rail compositions. Instead, it’s possible by completing a series of requirements before utilizing a very specific command. Here’s how to change the speed of your minecarts inMinecraft, no matter if you are playing alone or on a server with friends.
How to change your minecart speed in Minecraft
You can change the speed of your minecarts inMinecraftby heading to Edit Game Rules while creating your world and toggling on Allow Commands. verify to also head to Experiments and enable Minecart Improvements. After doing the above and creating your world, you will be able to change the maximum speed of your minecarts to any value up to 1,000 blocks per second by doing the following:
If playing in a multiplayer server you did not create, you will only be able to activate the commands after attaining a high enough permission level (in this case Operator). To do that, the server’s administrators must click on the icon next to your profile (which showcases your rank) and then enable the use of Operator Commands.
At the time of writing, the code can only be used when playing the Java version of the game, which means that those playing on Bedrock will have to either wait a little longer or attempt to get the most out of their carts in the usual way.
How to make minecarts faster on Minecraft Bedrock
Although their speed will still pale in comparison to that of the Ice Boats, you’re able to boost the speed of your minecarts while playingMinecraft Bedrockby using both the environment and the right types of rails. More specifically, I recommend adding Powered Rails at key spots throughout your tracks, all while relying on drops for a natural boost in momentum. Ideally, you want to have a few Powered Rails within every 25 to 30 blocks or after each descent.
You can make sets of six Powered Rails inMinecraftby gathering 6x Gold Ingots, 1x Stick, and 1x Redstone Dust before placing them in a 3-2-3 formation on your crafting grid. The Stick must then be placed above the stone, in the middle of the grid.
