MoreMinecarts

Add any Block to a Minecart

MoreMinecarts lets you add any block you want to a minecart and change the blocks distance from the mine cart. This can be used to create rotated blocks! You can add anything from a diamond block to a dispenser. Some blocks also have functionality when placed in a minecart, for example if you place a crafting table in a minecart every time you right click the minecart it will open a crafting table. Dispensers can also be shot while in a minecart, just right click the dispenser cart to fill it and every time it runs over a powered activator rail the dispenser will shoot out its contents!

How to Use

To place blocks into minecarts simply shift-right click the minecart with a block in hand. The same can be done to remove the block from a mine cart, just shift-right click the minecart with the block in it.

To change the y of the block inside a mine cart simply shift-left click the mine cart and then while holding shift move your cursor up and down to change the y.

To create diagonal blocks, change the y of the block in the minecart to far below or above the minecart then push the minecart around a bend in a track or down a slope! Wolla, diagonal blocks! there is no more need for you to go into an external world editor like mc-edit to create diagonal or rotated blocks!

How to Install

Installing this plugin is same as ever, simply drag the downloaded jar file into your servers plugins folder.

Functionality Blocks

Below is a list of all the blocks that have functionality and what they do.

WorkBench - When a workbench is placed into a minecart you can simply right click it to open a crafting window.

Dispenser - When a dispenser is placed into a minecart the minecart will start working like a dispenser. When the dispenserCart runs over a powered activator rail it will shoot out its contents. Simply right click the dispenserCart to access its inventory.

Dropper - When a dropper is placed into a minecart the minecart will start working like a dropper. When the dropperCart runs over a powered activator rail it will shoot out its contents. Simply right click the dropperCart to access its inventory.

Redstone_Block - When a Redstone_Block is added into a minecart whenever the minecart passes a redstone torch it will turn it off. This is still in development and i little bit glitchy, thus is removed from the default config, just add Redstone_Block to the functionalityBlocks list to add its functionality to your server.

Want another block to have some functionality?

just fill out the form below and i will look into adding it. Also note, that blocks will be able to be turned off in the config, for example you could turn off crafting tables in minecarts from working.

Block: <block/blocks that you want to add functionality to>
Function: <What do you want the block to do?>

Note: i cannot add blocks that create light without severely lagging the server and chewing up the users bandwidth.
