Hytale: How to Use Minecarts for Faster Travel Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to use minecarts for faster travel in Hytale.

Minecarts are a great way to make traveling around Hytale easier, especially when you need to go back and forth between places. Set up a track and you can cover long distances without walking all the way.

Find or Build a Track

As you explore, begin by looking for existing minecart tracks. If there isn’t one where you need it, you can build your own route. Before placing everything, plan out where you want the track to go so you won’t have to make major changes later.

Collect the Materials

To make a minecart and build your track, you’ll need the right materials. Get enough before you start so you can finish a useful section without having to keep going back for more. Extra materials can be particularly useful if you’re planning a long route.

Place the Minecart

When your track is finished, place your minecart on it and hop in. Make sure you have placed the cart correctly before you get on. If you are setting a permanent route, leave the cart in a convenient location for later use.

Start Moving

Use the minecart controls to move on the track. Instead of walking the same distance, let the track do most of the work once you’re moving. This can be especially useful when traveling from your base to a resource-gathering area.

Build Routes Between Important Areas

Think of places you go to often and put tracks between them. A route between your base and some other useful location can save you a lot of time. You don’t have to connect everything at once, so start with your most frequent destinations.

Keep the Track Clear

Check your route for anything that could disrupt your trip. Clear the way, and keep the track open. A clear route makes traveling much less annoying, especially when you’re using the same track over and over again.

Expand Your Network

As you explore further you can add new sections to your minecart network. Try to connect new areas to existing tracks as much as possible rather than building entirely new tracks. A larger network can ultimately provide you with easy access to several parts of the world.

Use Minecarts for Long Trips

Minecarts are best for going long distances. If you are only going a short distance, walking might be faster than setting up a track. Save your larger minecart projects for routes where they will be used regularly.

Final Tips

Create tracks between locations you visit frequently and make sure the routes are free of any obstacles. You can never have too many materials before starting a project, and explore more of Hytale to expand your network. With some useful routes established, minecarts can reduce the time and effort needed for long-distance travel.
