Minecarts

This server runs the plugin “minecart mania’. It makes it easier to steer minecarts and allows for a more comfortable control without complicated boosters and other strange mechanisms. You place certain blocks under a minecart track which determines the speed and direction of a cart. The system has many functions you can use to control the behavior of minecarts.

The plugins installed are:

  • Minecart Mania Core
  • Minecart Mania Sign Commands
  • Minecart Mania Stations

However, there are some changes to the standard setup. There is a huge tutorial setup in the Minecart Ministry Building, north of the Cathedral, next to the Sportsground. It shows you all the possible stuff you can make. Please check there before you ask what you can do and how block work. Here is a quick overview:

In case you cannot see the image clearly:

Wool Color Function
Black Spawn, pickup, and launch
Dark Gray Spawn and launch
White Reverse direction
Yellow Kill minecart and eject
Light Green Eject
Brown Stop and launch
Dark Green Station
Red Elevator
Magenta Kill cart

Also, powered rail will stop the cart when powered and re-launch it when the power is off.

There are so many combinations of block configs possible. If you need a specific combination, I can use one of the currently non-used colored wool to create a special effect. If you ask me for one though, make sure that you tested it yourself. I will not do that for you.

Please be aware that if you stand on a track, a passing minecart will push you out of the way. If you climb around on a high minecart track you might die from falling in that case.

BUG: Do not teleport / warp while riding a minecart. It will cause you to get stuck in a void w/o being able to move. In this case ask an elder to “eject” you from the minecart with the /mm eject <playername> command.

Attention:

Do not build any permanently running minecart or redstone system. Everything that is performing an action has to stop itself after a minute or so. Stuff that continues running slows down the server. Violating this is an instant ban. I have a command now that allows me to kill all minecarts on the server. If there is lag, I will use it immediately. Also there is now a timeout and all empty minecarts will get destroyed after one minute. Since you can spawn them with a diamond block that should not be a problem. Be aware that chest minecarts are also destroyed WITH CONTENTS.
