About this Mod
Minecarts extra
Minecarts extra is a modification which adds several new minecarts and one mechanic.
Features
- Minecart Leashing - You can now attach a standard Lead to ANY type of minecart. This allows you to pull them behind you.
- 13 New Workstation Minecarts - Combine a standard minecart with your favorite utility blocks to create mobile workstations.
Cart list
Every added minecart retains its original vanilla functionality, with unique mechanics integrated into world physics:
- Crafting Table Minecart
- Anvil & Grindstone Minecarts
- Stonecutter Minecart
- Brewing Stand Minecart
- Composter Minecart
- Furnace, Blast Furnace & Smoker Minecarts
Mechanics
- Enchanting Table Minecart - A fully functional mobile enchanting setup. If you park or place this minecart next to stationary Bookshelves, it will detect them and unlock higher-level enchantments just like a regular enchanting table!
- Dispenser & Dropper Minecarts - Automated defense and item distribution systems. They shoot or drop items perpendicular to the rails (to the left or right side of the track, based on the opposite direction they were originally placed from). They will not fire parallel to the rails.
Usage
- Just place the minecart on the rails and right-click on it with a block.
If the minecart breaks, it will drop the minecart and the block you placed there.
