If a chest or furnace minecart goes around a corner or goes off the rails, sometimes the chest/furnace will sometimes won't rotate the same as the minecart. For example, if the minecart turns to the right, the chest/furnace might rotate left instead. I can't figure out a pattern to when it does it and when it doesn't.
