How to make a Minecart with Command Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a minecart with command block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a minecart with command block allows you to move your command block around on a set of rails. It is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace and it is not available through the Creative Inventory menu. You can only add a minecart with command block to your inventory using a game command.
