Summary
- Minecraft player suggests adding chains between minecarts for transportation convenience.
- Mojang has made changes to minecarts but hasn't explored the chain concept yet.
- Chains could revolutionize villager transportation and add quality of life improvements.
A Minecraft player online has shared a great fan concept, which would make a huge improvement to minecarts in the game. Minecarts have been a staple feature of Minecraft for many years now, and it's almost surprising that the feature in this concept hasn't already been added.
Over the years, the Minecraft community has never been shy about sharing its ideas for the game. After all, it's a game centered around creativity, so it's unsurprising that it would cultivate a player base with a bunch of great ideas on how to improve Minecraft. Just recently, a Minecraft fan shared their own waterproof Redstone dust concept, which would reinvent another classic feature of the game. It's always fascinating to see how players would put a new spin on features that have been in the game the longest, and could require a rework the most.
Minecraft Player Shows Off Incredible Nether Hub That Took Almost 2 Years to Build
A dedicated Minecraft gamer shares the very impressive hub they built in the Nether that took them an extensive amount of time to complete.
Redditor Ultimate_Gamer7 shared their cool Minecraft concept, which would allow players to place chains between minecarts, tying them together. Chains are already an item that players can find in Minecraft, so this would be an excellent way to give them another important use. It isn't a particularly complex idea but could have a massive impact if implemented as a quality-of-life change. Sometimes, the simple ideas are the best.
Minecraft Player Shares Concept for Minecart Chains
In a recent Minecraft snapshot, Mojang has made some changes to minecarts, although there's no sign of the addition of chains anywhere to be seen. It would feel like a huge missed opportunity to not explore an idea like this, especially while Mojang is experimenting with minecart changes in a future patch. One player in the thread pointed out how much of a difference this would make to the transportation of villagers, and it was generally agreed that this would be the biggest benefit of this addition.
Despite Minecraft turning 15 years old this year, the game continues to go from strength to strength. Mojang has done a fantastic job of keeping players happy over the years, with frequent content updates that continue to this day. In a world of sequels, Minecraft has resisted the urge to go down this route, instead continuing to make the original game the best it can be. At this point, Minecraft is a pop culture phenomenon, and it'll be sticking around for many years to come. As long as the current level of support is maintained by Mojang, there's no reason Minecraft won't be relevant for another decade or longer, considering its standing in the gaming sphere.

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
