The engine is also removed when a cart leaves the track.<\/p>\n<p>#### Purple wool \/ &#8220;endpoint&#8221; armor stands<\/p>\n<p>To make carts fly through the air (and even through solid walls) towards a destination, name an armor stand &#8220;endpoint&#8221; and place it where you want the carts to fly to, then place purple wool under the tracks at the end of a railway, and carts passing over the wool will begin to fly towards the armor stand. <\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that if you have multiple armor stands named &#8220;endpoint,&#8221; carts will only fly to whichever one is closest to them.<\/p>\n<p>#### Orange wool<\/p>\n<p>Placing orange wool underneath the tracks will destroy carts that pass over it. <\/p>\n<p>#### Pink \/ Magenta wool<\/p>\n<p>Pink wool will force nearby entities, including players, to ride carts as they pass over it.<\/p>\n<p>Magenta wool behaves the same way, except it only works for players.<\/p>\n<p>Use vanilla activator rails to force entities or players to dismount a cart.<\/p>\n<p>#### &#8220;pointer&#8221; armor stands<\/p>\n<p>Naming an armor stand &#8220;pointer&#8221; will turn it into a front-facing arrow attached to nearby carts.<\/p>\n<p>This can behave weirdly if multiple carts are nearby, so using F3+B to show the hitboxes is recommended as an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>#### Ladders \/ Shelves<\/p>\n<p>Carts can climb ladders and wooden shelves, and will do so whenever they are in the same block space. The carts will also dismount at the top, in the direction they are facing.<\/p>\n<p>#### Magenta Glazed Terracotta \/ Tripwire<\/p>\n<p>Carts will change direction and move in the direction specified by the arrow on Magenta Glazed Terracotta placed under a tripwire beneath the cart. Perfect for turning carts around in a tight space!<\/p>\n<p>This behavior does not work with rails due to Minecraft forcing carts to snap to rails, so you will potentially need to recover speed by placing lime wool under the next track section after a direction change.<\/p>\n<p>#### Tutorial\/Trailer (outdated):<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Transporters&quot; Datapack for Minecraft\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NAcXhlJShS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Never use powered rails again!
