Why won't my minecart spawner spawn minecarts?
I'm attempting to make a Spawner which will generate Minecarts. The command I'm using is:
/setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"MinecartRideable"}
That certainly creates a Spawner with a Minecart inside, but it never spawns one. On the other hand, if I make a Cow Spawner:
/setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"Cow"}
it starts spawning Cows just fine. Why are Minecarts different?
I'm running Minecraft 1.7.9, single-player creative, with cheats.

I'm taking a shot in the dark with this, but you know how slimes have to spawn in a swamp/slime chunk and mobs have to spawn in dark places? That is, from mob spawners.
I'm thinking that minecarts have to spawn on rails, correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: OP told me this doesn't work... :(

The spawner spawns mobs in a 9\xd73\xd79 volume (see \xa7 Mechanics) around it when the player is within 16 blocks. Suitable spawning locations for the block's mob type are provided in or around the spawning volume.More answers regarding why won't my minecart spawner spawn minecarts?
