How do you ride a car in Minecraft?

My friend gave me a car in Minecraft! It’s super cool, but I don’t know how to use it. How are you supposed to ride a car in Minecraft?

Minecraft is a great game that relies on both imagination and logic. To understand how different machines operate within the game, you’ll need to be familiar with some of the rarer in-game materials. That said, you can ride a car in Minecraft by hopping on the vehicle and placing redstone or an energy block directly over the piston.
When the stones are touching the piston, your car should start moving! To stop, you simply need to take the stone off. Unfortunately, these are a few problems you might face when riding a car in Minecraft:
  • Cars can only move on flat surfaces
  • Vehicles can’t move in reverse
  • Energy blocks and redstone are somewhat rare
To optimize your in-game car time, consider leveling a big area for building and using your car to get from place to place. That way, you won’t need to worry about obstacles and you can use your car to get from one creation to the next.
