Minecraft Minecarts and Pistons

In this video I demonstrate some interesting uses for pistons to control minecarts. I show a simple minecart launcher, a minecart magazine, a departure area you could use on stations and an arrival area also for use on stations.

The main benefits pistons have over trap doors and many other mechanisms is that they are a lot more reliable. Often you either need some special setup or complicated timing mechanisms while pistons often reduce the need for specific timing, or simply eliminate timing as an issue all together.

btw, this is one of my first live commentated videos so I do make some mistakes (that I can't be bothered with to cut out) so my apologies for that in advance (should you feel insulted that is, but I think most of you will simply laugh xD).

I made a much better version of this, I'm uploading it to my channel now.

@2RandomStudios Sorry but I don't really see how your version is "much better" except that you actually made a station with the things you invented. Personally I think it's just down to preference which PEZ dispenser/arrival/departure areas you like best, or which ones fit better in your station. Both of our videos have similar designs that seem equally reliable. I'm not here to start a fight, but I just fail to see how your designs would be better than mine.

Post it in the redstone section.

@BakugoV8 on the minecraft forums or what? Cause I posted it in the Beta section but I guess it got moved or deleted because I can't view it anymore and I don't have a clue if it's even on the forums anywhere -.-

@CyberneticSoldier I see what you are saying, I simply prefer my version because of how simple it is. Yours is also quite good.
