Minecraft Launcher

Template:Infobox

The Minecraft launcher is the login and downloader front-end to the stand-alone client. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages, including game versions, assets and libraries. It is required that you login at least once online to the launcher to allow it to download the files necessary. It is possible to use the launcher to run versions of Minecraft from any era, however some versions are still not included on the launcher ( Indev, Minecraft 2.0 and any of the Beta 1.9 Pre-releases for example).

Prior to the release of 1.6, the launcher did not have standard versioning and in turn had three major development stages. The Alpha version,

There have been four different development stages for the launcher, the first for the Alpha version, the second since the release of Minecraft 1.0, the third since 1.2, and the fourth and current Launcher. The launcher's design last changed on July 18, 2013.

Behavior

File:Launcher Login.png

The login screen for launchers without already signed-in users.

Every time the launcher is executed, it checks a specific directory where Minecraft stores its files called .minecraft. It checks a file called "launcher_profiles.json" for login credentials. If the file does not exist, is corrupt, or no user is logged in, the user must login with a valid premium account, otherwise the user will be directed to play the Demo version or purchase the game.

When logging in, the launcher will first try to verify the login. If a valid "launcher_profiles.json" file exists but there is no internet connection, the launcher will offer a "Play offline" mode if a player was logged in when it was last closed. If the connection is successful, the launcher will then, depending on profile options, compare the latest version in the latest "versions" directory to the latest version reported by the server. If the selected version does not exist or the latest installed version is outdated when "Use latest version" is selected in the profile, the launcher will download all Minecraft components and Java binary files. It will also synchronize everything in the Assets folder (see Resource pack)

Finally, upon a successful update or installation, the launcher will execute "minecraft.jar" (via "javaw.exe", Oracle's Java Virtual Machine executable.) It is possible however for there to be missing ".jar" files, in which case the launcher will attempt to replace the missing files automatically but will stop if there is no connection.

Currently, Minecraft launcher supports only English. Users cannot select their preferred language.

Features

• Manage multiple profiles (stored in "launcher_profiles.json"). Each profile can control:
  • Game version. Includes access to outdated development builds and previous releases. You can also add older/custom versions manually. See this video for instructions.
  • Mojang account used to play the game
  • Command line arguments for Java (such as heap size)
  • Game Directory (where the game files are saved on disk)
  • And so on.
• The launcher doesn't store your password locally. Instead of this, it now uses a 'refresh token'.
• Automatic updates for launcher.
• Ability to update libraries, such as LWJGL.
• Offline mode. (The first time launch requires an Internet connection to download required resources)
• Currently only available in English.
• Crashes can be reported to Mojang, through Hopper.
• Crashes are now indexed through a database for information on how to fix the issue.

Time Machine

File:HowToAllowOldVersions.png

A profile with Alpha and Beta versions enabled

On August 1, 2013, the Minecraft launcher was updated to include the ability to play old Alpha and Beta versions of the game. Currently, Alpha, Beta, and all Release versions are available to play. Four Pre-classic versions, four Classic versions, and an Infdev version are already added under the names "old-alpha version". However, Indev is still missing.

Progress *note: this list is missing at least one version that is on the launcher (infdev 2010-06-18, aka Seecret Friday 1)

To enable the old versions either click the "Edit Profile" button or, preferably, create a new one. Under the "Version Selection" section choose to allow use of Alpha and/or Beta versions by ticking the appropriate boxes. Next, select the desired version from the drop-down menu and save the profile.

However, these versions are very out of date and may be unstable. Any bugs, glitches, missing features, or crashes that result from instability will never be resolved as only later versions are supported. Mojang strongly recommends that you play them in separate directories than your other saves to avoid corruption.

Command-line usage

The current Minecraft launcher has various command line switches that can be listed with the --help parameter.

1.1 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Goat Horn|Goat Horn]]<br/>{{redirect|Horn}} {{Item | image = Goat Horn JE1 BE1.png | renewable = Yes | stackable = No }} A '''goat horn''' is an [[item]] dropped by [[goat]]s. It has eight variants, and each plays a unique sound when {{Control|used}} which can be heard by [[Player|players]] in a large radius. == Obtaining == === Mob loot === A horn is dropped when an adult [[goat]] rams a tree or any other hard block that occurs naturally where goats spawn. These include [[stone]], [[coal ore]], [[copper ore]], [[iron ore]], [[emerald ore]], [[log]], or [[packed ice]]. Goats do not ram other solid blocks. {{IN|java}}, these blocks are listed under the {{cd|snaps_goat_horn}} [[tag]], and can be modified by [[data pack]]s. Up to two horns can be dropped from an adult goat. Regular goats may drop the Ponder, Sing, Seek, and Feel horns, while screaming goats drop the Admire, Call, Yearn, and Dream horns. A specific goat drops only one type of horn; that is, if a goat drops a Sing horn, its other horn is also a Sing horn. === Natural generation === {{LootChestItem|goat-horn}} Only the four variants from regular goats can be found here. == Usage == When {{control|used}}, they play a loud sound that can be heard from up to 256 blocks, but are also limited by the server view distance. Each horn variant plays a unique sound. There are eight variants, four of which are exclusive to [[Goat#Spawning|screaming goats]]. There is a cooldown of seven seconds between each use of the horn. All goat horns are affected by this cooldown. == Sounds == === Generic === {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Goat horn break1.ogg |sound2=Goat horn break2.ogg |sound3=Goat horn break3.ogg

It can also be set to either stop outputting a signal when its side input recieves a stronger one (front torch off), or subtract its side input's signal strength from its output (front torch on). == Obtaining == === Natural generation === Redstone comparators generate in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]]. === Breaking === A redstone comparator can be broken instantly with any [[tool]], or by hand, and drops itself as an item. {{Breaking row|Redstone Comparator|horizontal=y}} A redstone comparator is removed and dropped as an item if: * its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed; * [[water]] flows into its space;{{only|java}} * a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space. If [[lava]] flows into a redstone comparator's space, the redstone comparator is destroyed without dropping as an item. === Crafting === {{Crafting |B1=Redstone Torch |A2=Redstone Torch |B2=Nether Quartz |C2=Redstone Torch |A3=Stone |B3=Stone |C3=Stone |Output= Redstone Comparator |type=Redstone }} == Usage == A redstone comparator can be placed on the top of any [[opaque]] block with a solid full-height top surface (including upside-down [[slab]]s and upside-down [[stairs]]). {{IN|be}}, a comparator can also be placed on [[wall]]s and fences. For more information about placement on transparent blocks, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. The redstone comparator has a front and a back — the arrow on the top of the comparator points to the front. When placed, the comparator faces away from the player. The comparator has two miniature redstone torches at the back and one at the front. The back torches turn on when the comparator's output is greater than zero (the arrow on top also turns red). The front torch has two states that can be toggled by {{control|using}} the comparator: * Down and unpowered (indicating the comparator is in "comparison mode") * Up and powered (indicating the comparator is in "subtraction mode") The redstone comparator can take a signal strength input from its rear as well as from both sides. Side inputs are accepted only from [[redstone dust]], [[block of redstone]], [[redstone repeater]]s, other comparators, and [[observer]]s in specific scenarios. The redstone comparator's front is its output. It takes 1 [[redstone tick]] (2 game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag) for signals to move through a redstone comparator, either from the rear or from the sides. This applies to changing signal strengths as well as simply to turning on and off. Redstone comparators check their power state before their scheduled ticks update. This results in redstone comparators not usually responding to 1-tick fluctuations of power or signal strength — for example, a [[clock circuit|1-clock]] input is treated as always off from the side, and always on from the rear. This happens because the signal changes back to its original state before the redstone comparator checks its input states. However, certain setups such as powering any input with two separate observer pulses at the same time will cause a redstone comparator to respond to 2 gametick pulses. The redstone comparator has four functions: maintain signal strength, compare signal strength, subtract signal strength, and measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers). === Maintain signal strength === A redstone comparator with no powered sides outputs the same signal strength as its rear input. === Compare signal strength === [[File:Comparators Explained.png|Comparators in comparison mode.|thumb]] A redstone comparator in comparison mode (front torch down and unpowered) compares its rear input to its two side inputs. If either side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator output turns off. If neither side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator outputs the same signal strength as its rear input. The formula for calculating the output signal strength is as follows: <code>output = rear × [[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|[]]'''''left''''' ≤ '''''rear''''' AND '''''right''''' ≤ '''''rear'''''[[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|<nowiki>]]]</code> {{-}} === Subtract signal strength === [[File:Redstone comparator.png|thumb|The greatest of the side inputs A and C is subtracted from the rear input B, outputting 1. If either A or C were greater than B, it would output 0.]] A redstone comparator in subtraction mode (front torch up and powered) subtracts the signal strength of the higher side input from the signal strength of the rear input. <code>output = max('''''rear''''' − max('''''left''', '''right'''''), 0)</code> For example: if the signal strength is 6 at the left input, 7 at the right input and 4 at the rear, the output signal has a strength of ''max(4 − max(6, 7), 0) = max(4−7, 0) = max(−3, 0) = 0''. If the signal strength is 9 at the rear, 2 at the right input and 5 at the left input, the output signal has a strength of ''max(9 − max(2, 5), 0) = max(9−5, 0) = 4''. === Measure block state === {{Schematic | caption = A redstone comparator can measure the fullness of a chest, as well as other block states, even through an opaque block. |rd-ew!|rc-w!|ch|SB|rc-e!|rd-ew! }} A redstone comparator treats certain blocks behind it as power sources and outputs a signal strength proportional to the block's state.

(0 for empty, 15 for full, etc.) The table on the right is described more in detail, later in this section. Containers that can be measured by a comparator include: * {{BlockLink|Furnace}} * {{BlockLink|Blast Furnace}} * {{BlockLink|Smoker}} * {{BlockLink|Brewing Stand}} * {{BlockLink|Hopper}} * {{ItemLink|Minecart with Hopper}} on top of a [[detector rail]] * {{BlockLink|Dispenser}} * {{BlockLink|Dropper}} * {{BlockLink|Chest}} * {{BlockLink|Trapped Chest}} * {{ItemLink|Minecart with Chest}} on top of a [[detector rail]] * {{BlockLink|Barrel}} * {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large chest * {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large trapped chest * {{BlockLink|Shulker Box}} (any color) Generally speaking, the comparator output signal strength represents the average fullness of the slots, based on how many of that item form a full stack (64, 16, or 1 for non-stackable items). The ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table (right) shows the minimum '''''full-stack-equivalent (FSE)''''' to produce different signal strengths from common containers. A '''''full-stack-equivalent''''' quantifies how many normal 64-stackable items are needed to output a corresponding signal strength. The 's' is a constant 64, with the additional amount needed following after. One may also consider the terms: '''c''umulative-weight''''' or '''''weighted-sum''''' instead of '''''full-stack-equivalent'''''. Items that stack to a max of 16 ([[snowball]]s, [[sign]]s, [[ender pearl]]s, etc.), contribute +4 to the ''full-stack-equivalent'' for each unity (count of 1 item). Similarly, items that stack to 1 ([[minecart]], [[boat]], etc.) contribute +64, and items that stack to 64 contribute +1. Example 1: 3 ender pearls will contribute a 3 x 4 = 12 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 2: 16 ender pearls and 60 redstone dust contributes a 16x4 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 3: 1 minecart and 60 redstone dust contributes a 1x64 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 4: To produce a signal strength of 10 from a hopper, one requires a ''full-stack-equivalent'' of at least 3s + 14 = 206 but strictly less than than 3s + 37 = 229. This can be done with 3 minecarts, and 14 dirt. When a comparator measures a large chest or large trapped chest, it measures the entire large chest (54 slots), not just the half directly behind the comparator. A chest or trapped chest that cannot be opened (either because it has an opaque block, [[ocelot]], or [[cat]] above it) always produces an output of 0 no matter how many items are in the container — shulker boxes can always be measured, even if they cannot open. ;Calculating signal strength from items :When a container is empty, the output is off. :When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows: :<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''sum of all slots' fullnesses''''') / ('''''number of slots in container''''')) × 14)</code> :<code>fullness of a slot = '''''number of items in slot''''' / '''''max stack size for this type of item'''''</code> :''Example:'' 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64 has a 300 ''full-stack-equivalent.'' This produces an output with a signal strength of 8: <blockquote> 1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) × 14 = 8.292, floored is 8 </blockquote> ;Calculating items from signal strength :It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows: :<code>items required = max('''''desired signal strength''''', roundup(('''''total slots in container''''' × 64 / 14) × (desired signal strength − 1)))</code> :''Example:'' To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, players need 110 items: <blockquote> max(9, (3×64/14) × (9−1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110 </blockquote> {{-}} ==== Miscellaneous ==== [[File:Comparator storage.png|Comparators used to measure containers.|thumb]] Some non-container blocks can also be measured by a redstone comparator: ;{{BlockLink|Beehive}} and {{BlockLink|Bee nest}} : A hive or nest outputs a signal strength equal to the amount of honey in the hive/nest. ;{{BlockLink|Cake}} : A cake outputs a signal strength relative to the amount of cake remaining. Each slice is worth 2 signal strength, with 7 total slices, for an output of 14 for a full cake. [[File:Cauldron Redstone Strength Values.png|Cauldron signal strength|thumb]] ;{{BlockLink|Cauldron}} : A cauldron outputs different signal strengths depending on how much water or powdered snow is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If lava or powder snow is inside, the strength is always 3. [[File:Composter Redstone Strength Values.png|Composter signal strength|thumb]] ;{{BlockLink|Composter}} : A composter outputs different signal strengths depending on the level inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. ;{{Anchor|CommandBlock}}{{BlockLink|Command Block}} : A command block stores the "success count" of the last command executed, which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this command block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the [[command]]'s success conditions: if a red error message is returned in the chat, the command was not successful. : Most commands can succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those that accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator outputs the number of times it succeeded (maximum 15 when sent to redstone dust, but in the code it is able to go up to the 32-bit integer limit, and can be used in contraptions with no redstone dust with those values). : A command block continues to store the success count of the last command executed until it executes its command again, thus the comparator continues to output the same signal strength even after the command block is no longer being activated (it doesn't turn off when the signal to the command block turns off). ;{{BlockLink|End Portal Frame}} : An end portal frame outputs a full signal of 15 if it contains an [[eye of ender]] and zero otherwise. [[File:Item frame and comparator.png|A comparator can measure the presence and rotation of an item frame's contents.|thumb]] ;{{EntityLink|Item Frame}} : A comparator can measure the state of an [[item frame]]'s contents. An item frame comparator outputs 0 if the item frame is empty, or 1 to 8 for any item depending on its rotation: 1 at initial placement, plus 1 for each 45° of rotation for a maximum of 8. : For an item frame that holds a map, a unit of rotation is 90° instead of 45°, but a comparator still outputs power levels 1 to 8. It takes two full rotations to cycle through all comparator outputs, and each orientation of the map corresponds to two output levels that differ by 4. : The comparator must be placed behind the block the item frame is attached to, facing away from the item frame. The block must be a full block, and the item frame cannot be submerged in water. Having a sign in the same block as the item frame will prevent the frame from sending a signal as well.{{only|java}} ;{{BlockLink|Jukebox}} : A jukebox outputs a signal strength indicating which music disc is currently playing. See the ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table above. ;{{BlockLink|Lectern}} : A lectern outputs a signal strength that depends on what page the player is currently on. The calculation used is: :<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''current page''''' - 1) / ('''''number of pages in book''''' - 1)) × 14)</code> :This results in page 1 having a signal strength of 1, and the last page having a signal strength of 15. The exception is a single page book, which will output a signal strength of 15. :For example, a book with 15 pages will output a signal equal to the current page number. A book with 5 pages will output signal strengths of 1, 4, 8, 11 and 15 for the different pages. A book with 100 pages will have the signal strength increase to the next level on pages 1, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86, 93 and 100. : ;{{BlockLink|Respawn Anchor}} : A respawn anchor outputs a signal strength of 0, 3, 7, 11, or 15, depending on the "charged" value. ;{{BlockLink|Sculk Sensor}} : A sculk sensor outputs a signal strength depending on the type of vibration that is detected. ;{{BlockLink|Chiseled Bookshelf}} : A chisled bookshelf outputs a signal strength between 1 and 6 indicating the last slot interacted with.

1.2.1 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Minecart with Furnace|Minecart with Furnace]]<br/>{{ItemEntity |image=Minecart with Furnace.png |renewable=Yes |stackable=No |size=Height: 0.7 Blocks<br>Width: 0.98 Blocks |networkid=10 |drops= 1 {{ItemLink|Minecart with Furnace}} |health={{Hp|6}} }} A '''minecart with furnace''' is a [[furnace]] inside a [[minecart]]. It can be powered with [[coal]] or [[charcoal]] to propel it across a [[rail]] line for a limited time, which can be used to move other minecarts. ==Obtaining== Minecarts with furnace can be retrieved by attacking them, and by doing so it drops as an [[item]]. ===Crafting=== {{Crafting |Output= Minecart with Furnace |type= Transportation |Furnace|Minecart}} ==Usage== Minecarts with furnaces are placed in the same way as other minecarts. It does not have a graphical user interface, unlike a [[furnace]]. Minecarts with furnaces can be powered, done by feeding fuel ([[coal]] or [[charcoal]]) into the furnace minecart with the {{Control|use}} button. The fuel is consumed immediately and it starts to move in the same direction the player clicked toward. Pressing {{Control|use}} always turns it to that direction, even when not holding coal. Any piece of fuel, added at any time, increases the total range by an additional 3600 ticks (equal to 180 seconds or 3 minutes). The upper limit is 32767 ticks, approximately 27 minutes. When powered, minecarts with furnaces cover 240m per minute (about 4 m/s, slightly slower than walking speed) or 720m per piece of coal. They do not accelerate beyond this speed when going downhill or on active [[powered rail]]s, and as long as they remain powered, they do not slow down when going uphill, on inactive powered rails, or when pushing or pulling other minecarts. If a powered furnace minecart is derailed and then pushed back onto a rail, it starts moving again in the direction it came from, so they are not easily turned around in this state unless a player is nearby to redirect it with {{Control|use}}. Minecarts with furnaces can climb up steep inclines while pushing other minecarts as long as they have fuel. If a minecart with furnace reaches a slope while pulling another minecart, the pulled minecart is switched to the forward position so that it can be pushed along the slope instead of pulled. When a minecart with furnace bumps into another minecart or multiple minecarts, the other minecarts are pushed forward with great speed. The furnace minecart continues on with its own speed. Because of this speed difference, some of the minecarts may end up inside unloaded chunks on straight tracks. ===Train mechanics=== {{Schematic |caption=weakly-shunted 1-cart train, one cart was used only to push the train together and is left behind |AB|mc-$ew|mc-$ew|mc/Fu-$ew|- |AB|ra-$wu|ra-$ew|ra-$ew|ra-$ew|ellipsis-ew }} {{Schematic |caption=Creating a strongly-shunted 1-cart train. The sloped rail must be replaced with a horizontal rail before powering. |AB|mc-$ew||mc/Fu-$ew|- |AB|ra-$ew|ra-$ew|ra-$eu|ra-$ew|ra-$ew|ellipsis-ew }} [[File:FurnaceMinecartTrain.png|thumb|right|A Minecart train powered by furnace [[Minecart|minecarts.]]|alt=]] A furnace minecart can be made to pull up to four other minecarts. All minecarts in this train move at the constant speed of the furnace minecart. Trains are formed when a minecart is pushed into the back of a powered furnace minecart or a short-enough train. These shunts are fragile at best and easily come undone, but some methods are stronger than others. For example, pushing a minecart into a furnace minecart and then powering the furnace gives a weaker shunt than pushing the furnace minecart into the other minecart against a wall, and then powering the furnace in the other direction. A high-speed minecart running into the back of a furnace minecart going in the same direction automatically creates a weak shunt with it, pulling it along. Pulling a minecart with TNT causes it to explode. {| class="wikitable" |+Pulled minecart/Shunt behavior !Condition !Result |- |Furnace loses power/speed||Shunt comes undone |- |Entity bumping besides those part of the train||Jettisoned forward |- |Upward sloped track||Jettisoned forward |- |Downward sloped track||Jettisoned forward (strong shunt) or shunt comes undone (weak shunt) |- |90° turn in track||Jettisoned backward |- |Turn toward north/south or east/west that is not the direction the train was shunted in||Train derails |} When a train comes to a turn, the shunt comes undone with the pulled minecart jettisoned backward. The correct way to make such a turn is having the shunt undone before a turn, and then make the two rejoin on a straight rail later by having the pulled cart catch up with the minecart with furnace.<ref name=mango/> Since the train runs slower on a fully powered track than a normal minecart (~5 m/s compared to 8m/s), a train pulled by an unpowered furnace minecart is ideal for AFK farms involving breaking or placing blocks like [[nether wart]].<ref name=mango>{{YouTubeLink|1=pRLiAQfhTG8|2=Why The Furnace Minecart Isn't As Useless As You Think|3=ilmango}}</ref> ==Properties== The coal is not stored as an item in the entity, but in the object data in the fuel property as a time in ticks. ''Fuel'' is a short value, i.e. a maximum of 32767 ticks, which is about 27 minutes. However, {{cmd|/summon furnace_minecart ~ ~ ~ {Fuel:32000} }} alone doesn't make it go since it doesn't have a direction. It can be right-clicked on a track to give it a direction, or it can be summoned with the properties ''PushX'' and ''PushZ'' set, which are responsible for the direction. The <code>Motion</code> property of every entity allows for movement of the minecart, but it does not direct the minecart to move on its own. ==Sounds== {{Edition|Java}}:<br> Minecarts with furnaces use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group=sound name=rollsource>{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref> {{Sound table |sound=Minecart rolling.ogg |subtitle=Minecart rolls |source=Friendly Creatures <ref group=sound name=rollsource/> |overridesource=1 |description=While a minecart with furnace is moving |id=entity.minecart.riding |translationkey=subtitles.entity.minecart.riding |volume=0.0-0.35 <ref group=sound>Relates linearly with horizontal velocity (max 0.5)</ref> |pitch=0.0-1.0 <ref group=sound>Will increase by 0.0025 per tick if the minecart's horizontal velocity is more than 0.01</ref> |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Minecart rolling.ogg |source=neutral |description=While a minecart with furnace is moving |id=minecart.base |foot=1}} ==Data values== ===ID=== {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Item |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Minecart with Furnace |spritetype=item |nameid=furnace_minecart |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Entity |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Minecart with Furnace |spritetype=entity |nameid=furnace_minecart |foot=1}} ===Entity data=== Minecarts with furnace have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the entity. {{el|java}}: {{main|Entity format}} {{/ED}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format]]. ==History== {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.0.14|[[File:Minecart with Furnace JE1.png|32px]] [[File:Minecart with Furnace (item) JE1.png|32px]] Minecarts with furnace were added. |Since no in-game name was indicated, they were referred to by names such as "powered minecart" or "furnace minecart". |No matter how much fuel was added to the minecart, it would never move for more than 3 minutes after the last fuel.}} {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.0|When tooltips were added to items in inventory, this was named "Minecart with Furnace".}} {{History||1.2|[[File:Minecart with Furnace JE2.png|32px]] The texture of the minecart with furnace has been changed.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=?|Each piece of [[coal]] now powers a [[minecart]] with furnace for {{convert|3|minutes|ticks}}, so that adding another piece of coal at any time increases the total range by another 3 minutes.
