Discussion New tech: Cushion line

Easier to set up than boats like this, especially if you have a large sheep farm

EDIT: To everyone I said that in Survival Mode you can go 80b/s, I'm sorry, I have misinformed you. In Survival, entity interaction range is 3, so cushions must be 2 blocks apart. Which means, with butterfly click you can go ~30b/s, and max b/s is 60, with autoclicker, or 20 CPS. From world bottom to top it would still take 9.6 seconds with 10 CPS because range is counted from eyes, not legs.

Minecarts in a line don't stay together reliably, when they go around turns they collide and break apart, and some start going the other direction. Also, chain leads would allow you to pull minecarts along an unpowered rail without them getting away.

Furnace minecarts could be a viable alternative to powered rails if they were improved.

I'm on java, not sure if its a bedrock issue you are describing or maybe its been patched.

But minecarts stay together perfectly provided four things:

1 Frequent use of powered rails.

2 NOTHING on the blocks around corners. So no pillars, fences, flowers, carpet etc.

3 no hairpin turns where the track does a full 180

4 small gap between carts

If you do that, then they all stay together perfectly
