A '''minecart with command block''' is an impulse{{only|java|short=1}} or repeating{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} [[Minecraft:command block]] inside a [[Minecraft:minecart]].

== Obtaining ==

The minecart with command block is obtainable only using the [[Minecraft:command]] {{cmd|give @s command_block_minecart}}, as it does not appear in the creative inventory{{only|BE}} and has no [[Minecraft:crafting]] recipe. It can also be summoned using the command {{cmd|summon command_block_minecart}}. It can be broken like any other minecart, but only the minecart is retained, while the command block is lost.

Unlike most [[Minecraft:minecart]] types, command block minecarts can't be crafted with a [[Minecraft:minecart]] and a [[Minecraft:command block]].

== Usage ==
{{main|Command Block}}
The minecart with command block combines the functionalities of both minecarts and command blocks. Although the minecart visually contains an impulse command block, it functions more similarly to a repeating command block, executing the command once every four game [[Minecraft:tick]]s (unlike a repeating command block that repeats every 1 game tick) when on an active [[Minecraft:activator rail]]. When it passes over a [[Minecraft:detector rail]] with a [[Minecraft:comparator]] connected next to it, it outputs the command block's success count value.

The command is executed at the [[Minecraft:coordinates]] of the minecart, which can of course move, allowing for command execution relative to an entity without the {{cmd|execute}} command.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with command blocks use the Friendly Creatures sound category for [[Minecraft:Sound#Entity-dependent categories|entity-dependent sound events]].<ref group="sound" name="rollsource">{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

=== Entity data ===
Minecarts with command blocks have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the entity.

{{el|java}}:
{{main|Entity format}}
<section begin="entity data"/><div class="treeview" style="margin-top: 0;">
* {{nbt|compound}} Entity data
** {{nbt inherit/entity}}
** {{nbt inherit/vehicle}}
** {{nbt|string|Command}}: The command entered into the minecart.
** {{nbt|string|LastOutput}}: The last line of output generated by the minecart. Still stored even if the [[Minecraft:gamerule]] commandBlockOutput is false. Appears in the GUI of the minecart when right-clicked, and includes a timestamp of when the output was produced.
** {{nbt|int|SuccessCount}}: Represents the strength of the analog signal output by redstone comparators attached to this minecart. Only updated when the minecart is activated with an activator rail.
** {{nbt|bool|TrackOutput}}: {{cd|1}} or {{cd|0}} ({{cd|true}}/{{cd|false}}) - Determines whether the LastOutput is stored. Can be toggled in the GUI by clicking a button near the "Previous Output" textbox. Caption on the button indicates current state: "O" if true,"X" if false.
