I just made a working LEGO Minecraft Minecart with TNT that runs on powered rails, straight and curved rails, and one more special rail that’s key for a big BOOM! The Minecart looks uber-realistic, and it even speeds up on powered rails and slows down on normal rails! There’s also a camera mount so you’ll get a first-person view of riding in the minecart. You just won’t want to be in the minecart when it explodes! I placed rails all over my house so you can see it in action! Here’s how this build went down a week ago… I’m going to start by creating a rail for the minecart that mimics this one from the game. This rail has some issues. It’s 16 studs wide instead of 14, has stability problems, and turning is going to be tricky. I’ll try adding gear racks to these hinged pieces…yeah no way is that going to work. So let me think…way back in 2006 I bought a LEGO city train set that had these rails. They snap together like this and have wheels that ride along the rails. It even had a motor that fits perfectly on the rails. Now we’re onto something, but how do I make this look like the rails in Minecraft? Making the rail 14-studs wide is a good start. So I’ll build a ton of these…literally, a ton…to extend the rail width. Then of course I’ll tile it off to make it look accurate to the game. Yep, that’ll do! I’ll get to work building a bunch of these! Of course, the powered rail and the special rail are just modified versions of this rail. I will remove the dark tan tiles from the center and replace them with yellow tiles that run the length of the rail and red and dark tan tiles down the middle. Next I’ll build the frame and walls of the minecart. The minecart is 16x20x10 pixels, with this cool pattern on it! So here goes my attempt with LEGO…Looking good, and here’s a second one! The other wall is a little different, but not much. And two of those. Now we have the four minecart walls, so I’ll build a frame next, with this train motor as part of it. I’ll connect the wire and give it a test. Woah, too fast! And now slowly on the rails…super smooth! How about a longer set of rails? Perfect. I do want to keep the motor centered, so I’ll add these. I also removed the battery cover because this little part hits it. Looks like those changes caused no harm. I’ll add a color sensor to detect powered rails. Speaking of which, this is a design I started and now can finish based on the normal rails. Looks good, now the Minecart can use these! I’m going to get this thing looking like a minecart now by adding those sweet walls from earlier. To do that I’ll need to build a frame and some kind of interface between these Technic parts and normal LEGO plates. Lastly, I’ll wire up the color sensor before adding the walls. Wow, those walls look so good, but the minecart isn’t finished yet! I still need to add the TNT to make this thing really smokin’! That shouldn’t be too hard. I’ll set up a base that fits into the top of the minecart. Now I gotta make sure to have TNT shown on the side. This is really coming together! Here’s the moment of truth…will it fit? Yes, let’s go! Now I just need to program this to act like a minecart. We’ll put some code here, a little code there…and…done! So I need to make sure this behaves correctly on both powered and normal rails. Normal behavior looks like this. When going over a powered rail, the minecart will accelerate, but without enough powered rails the minecart will eventually stop, so let’s see how this LEGO minecart handles it. Awesome, the minecart will stop without enough powered rails, and now I’ll test again with more powered rails…yes! It accelerates over the powered rails! I’m laying a ton of rails around my house right now. Can you imagine a primed TNT minecart just careening around the corner towards you? I even put rails outside…well…outside didn’t work out so well. Hey, you wanted to see this explode, right? OOhhhh, eh, how about one more time in slow motion. Ouch! Yeah, I’m going to avoid outside but I’ll continue laying rail around the house. There, the rails are all set. It’s time to take a ride! I’ll hit start, and you’ll hear a countdown which is for placing the TNT lid. Here it goes! Whew, that was FUN! I’m going to back that up a second. Now’s a good time for me to tell you about this and this. The special type of rail I built is called an activator rail. It’s used to prime a TNT minecart, which causes the TNT to explode! I built it just like a powered rail except for red tiles down the sides instead of yellow. And this is a redstone block, which has two purposes. Most importantly, in Minecraft it powers the activator rail, and it also stops the minecart At exactly the place we want, which of course is right inside Steve’s house. Building it in LEGO took a lot of red pieces, so I made mine hollow. Now that we know about those two items, take a look at this scene again. Here’s a real house and here’s Steve’s little Minecraft house. Steve, can you point out the similarities? (Steve voice) Oh, sure thing…Let’s see…Bed, rails, primed TNT minecart, WAIT, PRIMED TNT MINECART! Steve just keeps dying, first from the working LEGO Zombie Spawner and now this! Poor guy! It would help me a ton if you could share this video! … Check out my other ones too! Thanks for watching! Video Information

I Built A WORKING LEGO® Minecraft TNT Minecart!! This minecart is able to run on powered rails, straight and curved rails, and even another special type of rail. It can also detect if it’s on a powered rail and adjust its speed! There’s a camera mount for the minecart so you can watch it run its course in first-person!
This LEGO® Minecraft TNT Minecart MOC is one you’ll love! The details are very realistic, and the best part is that it actually WORKS!
Just wanted to say that you’re super special, and Jesus loves you.
