The '''Infinity Cart''' exploit was a rather potent exploit that was used to attack TF in early 2022 that used a modified Minecart With Chest and an invalid loot table that exceeded the vanilla 256 character limit, making it immune to any command to remove it because the game cannot process the data. Any interaction with it would cause the server logs to spit errors with the chance of flooding them to the point it causes the server to cripple. The modified carts cannot be broken, opened or otherwise modified by the player, nor can they be destroyed by any commands designed to kill entities such as <code>/kill</code> or <code>/rd</code>. Putting a bunch of them on the ground would often break the chunk they occupied, putting the server logs in gridlock and causing the server to crash every time the chunk is loaded as well - making it a crash loop if a player happens to be stuck there. In addition to being made to crash the server, the minecart is given a long display name so it serves double-duty as a 'lag entity' so it freezes anyone who's near it by taking advantage of their long display names, trapping them and keeping the chunk it is in loaded. This exploit would, after causing dozens of crashes be successfully combated by running <code>/data modify entity @e[type=minecraft:chest_minecart,limit=1] LootTable set value "air"</code>
