The main thing you have to make sure you don’t do is load more into the loading hopper than your minecart can hold. This pulse is long enough to power a powered rail and send a cart away. When the lever is turned off, the Redstone lamp will pulse on for just a moment then turn back off.

And it will only pulse, not stay on, as would happen with a NOT gate (i.e., a Redstone torch). So if I am using a lever as the input for a falling edge circuit, the output will pulse only when I turn the lever off after having also turned it on. A falling edge circuit sends an output pulse when an input pulse ends. This requires a special Redstone circuit called a “falling edge” circuit. Instead, we want the cart to go on its merry way once items have finished passing through the hopper. But obviously we don’t want the rail powered as soon as items enter into the loading hopper. So what we have to do is have our minecart sitting on a “depowered” powered rail (to keep it stationary) and detect the contents of a hopper that is loading items onto the minecart with a comparator. Maybe I’ll post about this in the future once I have some idea of how reliable it is. Then another sticky piston pulls back, letting the cart drop onto another set of tracks.

This setup detects when a minecart is full then uses a sticky piston to push the minecart over one block. Once the hopper finishes transferring items from the minecart into a nearby inventory, the powered rail is once again powered, sending the minecart back where it came from.

A comparator reads if anything is in the hopper and, so long as there is, depowers the powered rail over the hopper (thereby keeping the minecart still until it is empty). The way this is done is by placing a powered rail at the end of a track over a hopper. Of the two functions of minecart-based item transfer (loading and unloading the minecart), unloading the minecart is by far the easier. Unloading Minecarts (Then Sending Them Back When Empty) Today, I want to cover two simple Redstone devices that you can use to unload and load minecarts automatically. With the MC 1.5 Redstone update, all of a sudden it became possible to load items into and out of minecarts automatically using hoppers and comparators. Back in the day (classic Tekkit and some time afterwards), if people used minecarts to transfer items it was pretty much only via additions provided with the Railcraft mod.

While many mods add item transfer mechanics into the game (pipes, tubes, conduits, conveyor belts, etc.), vanilla Minecraft actually has had item transfer systems built in for a long time in the form of minecarts.

It uses Redstone powered automatic loading and unloading systems that I’ll show you in this post.

You’ll need to provide food and shelter for your workers, and make sure everything is linked up by roads and rails.This is a minecart-based furnace array. There’s quite a bit going on in Sweet Transit, and the demo includes a four-part tutorial that guides new players through the ins and outs of building a village, connecting various sites with train routes, expanding your operations, and scheduling trains. It has a very pleasant ’90s aesthetic, and it’s an interesting mix of almost Anno-style city building with the more complex scheduling and route construction and management found in the Transport games.

Sweet Transit, a city-building game that’s focused squarely on trains, will be pulling into Steam’s Early Access station this summer, but you can get an early taste of that transport goodness right now, thanks to a free demo that’s launched as part of the Steam Next Fest.Īs we’ve noted, Sweet Transit is a kind of throwback to the old Transport Tycoon games, and its being built by one of the artists from Factorio, Ernestas Norvaišas.
