# Minecart
|
|
|
|
The mod Minecart has its own carts (called Minecart) in addition to the standard carts.
|
|
Minecarts are used for automated item transport on private and public rail networks.
|
|
The main features are:
|
|
|
|
- Item transport from station to station
|
|
- Carts can run through unloaded areas (only both stations have to be loaded)
|
|
- Automated loading/unloading of Minecarts by means of the Minecart Hopper
|
|
- The rails can be protected by means of landmarks
|
|
|
|
If the mod Techage is available, then:
|
|
|
|
- Two additional carts for item and liquid transportation are available
|
|
- Carts can be loaded/unloaded by means of Techage pusher and pumps
|
|
|
|
You can:
|
|
|
|
- Enter the cart with a right-click
|
|
- Leave the cart with a jump or a right-click
|
|
- Push/start the cart with a left-click
|
|
|
|
But carts have their owner and you can't start, stop, or remove foreign carts.
|
|
Carts can only be started at the buffer. If a cart stops on the way,
|
|
remove it and place it at the buffer position.

## Quick start guide
|
|
|
|
1. Place your rails and build a route with two endpoints.
|
|
Junctions are allowed as long as each route has its own start and endpoint.
|
|
2. Place a Railway Buffer at both endpoints (buffers are always needed,
|
|
they store the route and timing information).
|
|
3. Give both Railway Buffers unique station names, like Oxford and Cambridge.
|
|
4. Place a Minecart at a buffer and give it a cart number (1..999)
|
|
5. Drive from buffer to buffer in both directions using the Minecart(!) to
|
|
record the routes (use 'right-left' keys to control the Minecart).
|
|
6. Punch the buffers to check the connection data
|
|
(e.g. 'Oxford: connected to Cambridge').
|
|
7. Optional: Configure the Minecart waiting time in both buffers.
|
|
The Minecart will then start automatically after the configured time.
|
|
9. Place a Minecart in front of the buffer and check whether it starts
|
|
after the configured time.
|
|
10. Drop items into the Minecart and punch the cart to start it.
|
|
11. Dig the cart with 'sneak+click' (as usual). The items will be drop down.

## Minecart Blocks

|
### Cart
|
|
|
|
Primary used to transport items. You can drop items into the Minecart and punch the cart to get started.
|
|
Sneak+click the cart to get cart and items back.
|

|
|
### Buffer
|
|
|
|
Used as buffer on both rail ends. Needed to be able to record the cart routes.
|
|

|
|
|
### Landmark
|
|
|
|
Protect your rails with the Landmarks (one Landmark at least every 16 blocks near the rail.
|
|

|
### Hopper
|
|
|
|
Used to load/unload Minecarts. The Hopper can push/pull items to/from chests
|
|
and drop/pickup items to/from Minecarts. To unload a Minecart place the hopper
|
|
below the rail. To load the Minecart, place the hopper right next to the Minecart.
|

|
|
|
### Cart pusher
|
|
|
|
If several carts are running on one route, it can happen that a buffer position
|
|
is already occupied and one cart therefore stops earlier.
|
|
In this case, the cart pusher is used to push the cart towards the buffer again.
|
|
This block must be placed under the rail at a distance of 2 m in front of the buffer.
