This cart would be really useful for going down a really long mine shaft much quicker than a regular mine cart or even a mine cart on powered rail. It could also be used for Extreme Parkour™: Mine Cart Edition.
Speed
This cart is a normal mine cart, but once it gets going, it picks up speed 3 times as fast as a normal mine cart until it reaches a top speed of 10x faster than a normal mine cart. When this cart leaves the track, it should start to slow down as fast as a normal mine cart would off the rails. This means it would travel much farther without rails.
Mechanics
The cart would also have a GUI that allows the player to put in fuel, for instance any item that is wood or fuel. Every 10 blocks, the cart would consume a set amount of fuel, not an amount of fuel items to make sure that different fuel densities are respected. This fuel consumption would need to be set through play testing. If the cart runs out of fuel it begins to slow down at normal mine cart speeds and reaches a low speed of 0.5x that of a normal mine cart (to account for the rocket boosters). If this cart crashes into any stone/metal blocks, it explodes.
