When the player arrives in a minecart, the minecart gets broken by the lava and collected by the hoppers while the player is pushed out of the exit using a glass block connected to a sticky piston. The above video is a slight variation that of the first design, that uses lava instead along with pistons is available and does not rely on any glitches, thus is considered to be safe for use in the latest versions of Minecraft (1.6+).

However, note that this enhancement will only work, if playing a version prior to Java Edition 1.8. A way to fix this is to put a rail on the hopper. In Java Edition 1.6-pre, Template:Verify this was fixed such that when you hit the cactus you appear right in front of it (at the place where you hit), thus leaving you on the rails and making you pick up the minecart, instead of it going into the hoppers. Unfortunately, this design uses a glitch where a person on a minecart that hits a cactus will get ejected to the side, 'phasing' through the cactus while the minecart gets collected by the hopper. Sethbling's design automatically starts the minecart and ejects the player, using a combination of redstone wiring and tripwire.

If you have many rails placed in a row the top speed you can reach is eight blocks a second. Powered rails will only speed you up as you are on top of them. To really go uphill you will need to space your powered rails as you are going uphill.Ī. Combining many powered rails together at the bottom only seems to increase your speed additively. One powered rail going uphill will only push you about four or five blocks uphill. A powered rail cannot do much on its own. How far can a Powered Rail push you uphill?Ī. To make a railway go quickly make sure you have no bends as this will slow your minecart down, and place powered rail all throughout your minecart track to ensure you can reach top velocity.
