- Interact with the car to take the driver’s seat.

How To Use
Placing the Racer
Hold the Blue Blaze Racer item and use it on a suitable location to place the car. Place it on a clear stretch of ground for the easiest start.
You can also spawn the vehicle with commands if cheats are enabled:
/summon com_blue_blaze_racer_3aieuikw:my_vehicle
Driving
Interact with the placed car to mount it. While seated:
- Use forward and backward movement to control the car’s motion.
- Use left and right movement to steer.
- Press Jump or tap/use to activate the mounted Drive action.
- Dismount normally to leave the driver’s seat.
The car can travel across open terrain and can path over water, but a clear race route gives the best driving experience.
Dismounting
Exit the car using your usual dismount control. You will be placed on top of or beside the racer when leaving the seat.
Crafting And Obtaining
The Blue Blaze Racer is crafted at a crafting table using iron, a glass pane, blue dye, a minecart, and redstone.
In Creative mode, look for the Blue Blaze Racer in the Items category. The item does not stack, so each racer occupies its own inventory slot.
Abilities And Mechanics
- Single seat: The racer has one controlling seat and does not carry passengers.
- Player-operated: Players control the racer directly while mounted.
- Steering: Movement input controls both driving and direction.
- Drive action: Tapping/using or pressing Jump while mounted invokes the vehicle’s primary action. The Blue Blaze Racer has no weapon, so this action does not fire a projectile.
- Durability: The vehicle has 40 health.
- Physical vehicle: It can be pushed and can also be moved by pistons.
- Third-person view: Mounting uses a third-person driving camera to give you a broader view of the route.
Progression And Strategy
The Blue Blaze Racer has no upgrade or progression system. Its main uses are transportation, timed races, obstacle courses, and decorative vehicle builds.
For a better race course:
- Build a wide starting line and keep turns clear.
- Use blocks, walls, or signs to mark the route.
- Leave extra room around obstacles for steering.
- Place racers at equal starting positions for multiplayer races.
- Test the course in third-person view before racing.
