This mod adds the Minecart with Controls, a new type of Minecart which is controllable by the player.
Craft the Minecart with Controls by combining a Furnace Minecart with a lever.

First, you add fuel to the cart via Coal, Charcoal, or Coal Blocks. Coal and Charcoal add one fuel point, and coal blocks add 9.
Carts can hold a maximum of 100 fuel points.
When no fuel is remaining, you can no longer accelerate the cart.
To control the cart, by default use W to accelerate and S to decelerate. These keys are based on whatever keys you have set for the forward and backward actions.
When riding the cart, a small HUD will appear above your hotbar. This includes the speed of the cart in blocks per second (bl/s) and the amount of fuel remaining.
Enjoy!
