	Minecarts with chests are also able to interact with [[Minecraft:hopper]]s. Hoppers can take items out from the minecart chest if they are below the track as the minecart rolls over it or put them in if the minecart rolls under a downward facing hopper. Hoppers can also input items if they are facing into the side of the minecart.		Minecarts with chests are also able to interact with [[Minecraft:hopper]]s and [[Minecraft:dropper]]s.

Hoppers can also input items if they are facing into the side of the minecart. Droppers can place items into a chest minecart if it is facing into the block space of the chest minecart when it is activated, placing the dispensed item directly into the chest minecart's inventory.

	Chest minecarts' contents can be accessed by pressing {{control\|use item}} button on them. The interaction makes no sounds and the chest does not show the opening or closing animation, unlike regular chests.		Chest minecarts' contents can be accessed by pressing {{control\|use item}} button on them. The interaction makes no sounds and the chest does not show the opening or closing animation, unlike regular chests.

	~~The boost that~~ minecarts with chests ~~gain from~~ [[Minecraft:~~powered rail~~]]s is ~~dependent on their load~~. ~~For example, from~~ a ~~1 powered rail starter track~~, ~~an empty minecart with chest travels 64 blocks, but a full minecart with chest travels only 16 blocks (opposed to 80 blocks for an occupied normal minecart and 8 blocks for an empty normal minecart)~~.		Minecarts with chests also lose momentum based on their load. Fuller minecarts with chests will lose momentum faster than emptier ones. In [[Minecraft:Java Edition]], the formula for the percentage of momentum kept is <syntaxhighlight lang="python">
			0.98 + 0.001 * (15 - container_redstone_signal)
			</syntaxhighlight>where container_redstone_signal is the signal that would be read by a [[Minecraft:comparator]]. If in water, this is further multiplied by 0.95.
