Will a zombie despawn if it's in a minecart?

Yes, in Minecraft's Java Edition (and sometimes Bedrock with specific conditions), zombies in minecarts do not despawn, making them a reliable way to transport or store them without needing nametags, as they're treated like entities that persist, though bugs can sometimes occur. This works because they are riding the entity, preventing normal despawn mechanics from removing them, even if they are far from the player or the chunk unloads.

What stops zombies from despawning?

How long until zombies despawn in Minecraft?

Zombies in Minecraft despawn relatively quickly unless kept near a player (within 128 blocks for instant despawn, or 32-128 blocks for a small chance to despawn over ~30 seconds) or given persistence through a nametag or by picking up an item like armor, but items they wear don't count. Zombie Villagers have unique rules, and generally, mobs despawn if outside the player's simulation range, with faster rates further away from players.

Do allays follow you forever?

No, Allays don't follow you forever in Minecraft; they follow the player who gave them an item within a 64-block radius and will roam if you get too far, but you can make them follow indefinitely by giving them items to collect and return, or by keeping them close and using leads/boats, though they'll wander if left untethered. They'll stop following and wander aimlessly if you take their item back or exceed the range, but you can easily re-tame them with the same or another item.

How to make mine cart faster?

To make a Minecraft minecart faster, use Powered Rails activated by redstone for speed boosts, especially on inclines (1:3 ratio) and curves, or use the new /gamerule minecartMaxSpeed command in newer versions (like snapshots) for massive, command-based acceleration, or create launchers with looped powered rails for huge initial velocity. Gravity on downhill slopes also helps, while furnace minecarts offer slow, manual boosts.
