Fully Automatic Minecart Station

[Nucks]

Hey guys

So one of the projects I did on minecraft Offline, was to make a fully automatic minecart station without needing any switches to push.

NOTE: I made this project OFFLINE on a world where I use Invedit to try out projects I build. I do not however use this program on Multiplayer in anyway what so ever. I only use Invedit on 1 world save and nothing more.

Note: This design is not mine, I found this design upon looking at youtube videos. There where no guides so I had to make it myself out of observing. This station hasn't been designed; it's a rough stage just to get the station working.

No mods where used, just original minecraft and invedit.

Below will be a description of each feature it has to make it automatic, pictures will also be included.

Where to ride a Minecart:

A minecart will be ready set automatically, therefore no need to place any minecarts. Once the player gets into the minecart, they will be boosted of onto the main line railway.

To be clear, the cart is never boosted every so often. The cart will only be boosted when a player is sat in the cart.

This is the minecart dispenser.

Carts are sent here automatically when carts have run-away or carts that have been left once attending the station. (More will be explained below). Also this dispenser can be manually reloaded. (Again explained below)

This is where players can manually reload the dispenser:

Simply place a minecart on the railway track and give it a push and the rest will be dealt with automatically ^^. Doing so will send the mincart to the dispenser to be used once again.

Anti-runaway minecart system.

Once a player has been boosted of in there minecart, there's the chance the player may leave the minecart for several reasons. Maybe they changed there mind or simply it was an accident? What ever the reason;this minecart station will sort it all out.

Basically if you leave the minecart after it has been boosted, the cart will be sent straight back to the dispenser, if however you don't leave the minecart then you will be directed to the main railway.

Once leaving the minecart station:

Upon leaving the minecart station in your minecart, one it has been boosted to the main railway or back to the dispenser; automatically a new minecart will be placed ready to use again in the exact same spot where you first got into a minecart.

This basically shows that the station resets it self for another player to use the facility.

EDIT: There's another feature of the station below Globey's comment

This looks awesome! Now you just have to put it on the build server

How does it work? It looks a bit confusing =/

Upon arriving the station:

When arriving the station, the player will be eventually stopped to a halt where then the player can get out of the minecart.
However the minecart will then never move untill the player leaves the minecart. This is also automatic and doesn't give you limited time but instead it gives you as long as you like.

Only when the player leaves the minecart, will then the minecart be sent to the dispenser to be used once again.

Hey Globey

Thanks for the positive feedback , I have to admit at first when I saw this system it looked very very confusing and I had no idea how it worked. However once I observed the system, it became very very clear and extremely simple, who ever created this system was indeed very clever as I would never had thought of this idea, yet it is so simple.
