Advanced Minecraft Vending Machine - takes payment, handles being out of stock!

Here's the album of my wheat farm: http://imgur.com/a/GdsLw

I'm really excited about this vending machine technology! It's my first serious redstone-intensive build. It was really fun to come up with the circuitry necessary to make it work!

I discovered a way to detect dropped items without them getting stuck on the pressure plate. To my knowledge, this hasn't been done before. It has some really fun applications and I hope you guys come up with some cool things using it!

@thegnome54 i think captain sparkles vending machine is better

@ihatecoeguy I haven't actually seen his, but I understand it uses pistons. I haven't been able to install pistons yet, so I can only make use of vanilla minecraft physics. I'm sure pistons could vastly improve a vending machine, though!

@thegnome54 NO it doesn't contain pistons, You can put boosters track instead of pistons it works the same.

Way more advance than this tbh :)

@GamersComputer I just watched his, and you're right that it doesn't need pistons.

His is a great item storage system, but as a vending machine mine is far more advanced. His does not take payment, check for 'out of stock' items, or offer payment returns. His also requires you to pick out the amount of items you want, where mine only gives one item per payment and delivers the item itself rather than a storage cart. What makes you say his is more advanced?

This needs a coin return! but amazing nonetheless.

@gamepiecevideo I FIGURED IT OUT!! I found a way to make a coin return. I will try to incorporate it into my machine and upload a new video soon showing how it works. Basically, there's a way to make a T-junction where items can be made to go one way or another with redstone power. This is so exciting! =D

Thanks for the suggestion!

@sebzim4500 Yeah!  It's the slogan of that awful vending machine that can't make tea.
