MinecartDelivery
MinecartDelivery
Automated storage minecart deliveries
Purpose
This server mod came from the frustration of broken minecart pez dispensers in SMP. All I ever wanted was to be able to transfer huge amounts of material from one point to another with minimum hassle.
Minecart Mania is supposed to implement this feature, but it hasn't been updated for quite some time.
Out of that frustration came this little plugin.
It has one feature: allow a storage minecart to unload its contents to a drop off point automatically.
Features
- Drop off points are created by simply putting a detector rail and a chest along your existing minecart system.
- Supports double chests
Installation and Usage
Just drop MinecartDelivery.jar into your plugins directory, and you're ready to go.
To create a drop off point, you will need a chest and a detector rail. The chest must be one block lower than the detector rail. Once a storage minecart passes thru the rail, it will unload the contents to the adjacent chests automatically.
Below is an example of a drop off point:
Limitations
This plugin does not support the following:
- Permissions
- Multi-world support
Before you ask why, it's simple: at the moment I don't have any need for these in my own server, hence the lack of support for it.
Support
This plugin is fairly new, and is being tested on our server. If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file a ticket here. It will be more sane for me to track everything at github.
Download
A built jar file is available for download here.

Posted Apr 18, 2012I took the time and updated ithere. I don't think the original author is going to update any time soon. My branch off his is updated, and allows carts to take contents out of chests, as well as in. :)

Posted Feb 21, 2012What a great idea! I LOVE this plugin, there's nothing else like it, I brag about this feature to my players on the server, but now I can't use it! Why? Because it needs to be updated. It needs bug fixes. Please don't just ignore your creation like so many other great plugin developers do! Also, I REALLY need this to work with LWC, because it doesn't. I'll file a ticket if that's what you want, just please help us all out here! Thank you! -M1_

Posted Feb 21, 2012How can I set it so that the minecart only deposits select items at the delivery point? Also, we like to use traincarts. i hear there is a bug with it. Any idea how I should go about patching it? Also, anyone know how this works with minecart Permanence?

putting down a detector rail does not save anything to the config file. it only updates it as a when you complete the minimum setup: one detector rail, and one chest. the order of placement doesn't matter.
the plugin has been tested and working well with 1.0.1. I don't make any guarantees when it comes to 1.1, and until Tekkit comes out with 1.1, I will stick to 1.0.1 first. the config file may not have been updated because they've changed the way configs are saved to disk.
as for LWC, @caramon93 reported that he's having problems with it, and I've never tested it with LWC either.
Multi-world support may be the next thing I implement, since I'm moving our server to Tekkit, and we'll be needing that soon.
I'm busy with other stuff at the moment, so I'll see when I can fully implement this. Hopefully I can release an update by early Feb.
I'm having a hard time tracking stuff here in bukkitdev, so I highly recommend that you file a ticket on my github (see source code link).
the one annoying thing about bukkitdev is that they don't have email notifications for comments. _~

Posted Jan 23, 2012seeing as there is no ticket on you page yet lol ill just post it here for you, multi-world support would be great i know you dont use it but a lot of users do i am one of them and it would be nice if in the config were the XYZ is placed it also put the world that detector track was placed so that it didnt conflict between worlds.

Posted Jan 23, 2012not sure if this has to do with the error the other guy has but im using bukkit 1.1 div right now and when i place the detector rail down it dose not save it in the file as such when the server restarts it dose not work i have to remove and replace the detector rail each time. not could be a different problem all together but came on to see if u had an update ill check back later tho ^.^
Edit: odd now i cant get it to work at all and i just was. so maybe it just has to do with the fact that im using a div of 1.1 and maybe he is to so that could be it as im not using LWC on my server ether

Try it without LWC. I have never tested it with that plugin, as we don't implement that on our server.

Posted Jan 16, 2012So far it does not drop the items into the chest. it just loops and does nothing more to it.

I haven't tried TrainCarts yet. I'll see if I can play around with it over the coming weekend.

Posted Jan 8, 2012Great plugin, a bug I found is with TrainCarts though. It only picks up the first cart that passes over the detector rail and only if that cart is a storage cart. If there are any passenger cars ahead of it, the items will not be deposited. Any other storage minecarts behind it will also not be deposited into the chests either. This would be nice to find some way to get it to work a bit more easily with TrainCarts since you could use this plugin with TrainCarts to make huge transport lines from one place to another.

I actually added the jar to the project, but apparently it needs approval before it can be published. _~
Anyway, I also uploaded the compiled jar to my github repo. I'll just update the description.
