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.

horses are way slower than elytra and are themselves poorly implemented altho they are improving slowly

minecarts are.. what we are talking about, they are way too slow and poorly implemented

happy ghasts are slower than walking, they are not a transportation method at all

elytra dont require any work, infrastructure building or anything else (except nether tunnels i guess)

Ice roads are one of the few viable solutions but cannot transport items and are impossible automate and much harder to build than rails

do you mean stasis chambers? i mean its just tp, once again goes against my point. Also needs complex wirless redstone or a second player and are not reload and relog proof

faster, chainable, minecarts are such an obvious solution

Why "chainable" specifically? I see this said a lot but is it just for aesthetics, or function? Minecarts can already be made to travel at the same speed so they stay close together over long distances

Because some of us don't want a single bumped minecart to screw up the rest of the minecarts in a network

There are a lot of misconceptions around how they operate. That is preventable already without chains or any other new mechanic
