Copper Minecart

A copper minecart, that also slowly oxidizes like normal copper blocks, which can also be waxed to keep it in its desired state. This would be beneficial for the player because it would be great to use for map making, it would be a great way to add a abandoned or decayed theme to a build or map. This copper minecart should be 1.5x faster than the normal iron minecart due to copper being lighter than iron, this would be very beneficial for transportation, it provides a new way for players to use minecraft transportation, especially regarding the rail system, which hasnt recieved any beneficial new addition in a while. A copper minecart would be a very good thing to have for both transportation and decoration purposes.

It can also perhaps be included in the underground structure generation for the minecraft caves and cliffs update, the minecarts fully decayed state can be used to show that alot of time has gone by sine the minecart was last used, which can be a god indicator that the structure it was generated in was abandoned a long time ago.

    I should also point out that copper minecarts exist in real life, they are very old, so the fact that they are old would add on to the reason to add them to the game with the deteriorating oxidization feature, which could also be waxed to keep in its desired state.

    The problem is, copper is about as easy to find, if not easier than iron, so there would need to be a benefit to iron minecarts too.

    You could also adjust the speed with the oxidation! I think it would be really cool to have to wax the minecart at the speed you'd like.
