Storage Cart w/ Call Buttons - Minecraft LP #34

The Cave Spider XP Farm is done, and now I want a storage cart track to transfer inventory between the abandoned mineshaft base and my potions area. I'll also build a two-way redstone wire so that I can call the cart from either location.

Thanks to shrogg2 for the two-way repeater design: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vimjcjmbfDo

loving how its a massive, grand base but you get in and out through a wooden door; make a 3x3 piston door! love the videos! :D

@BaileyBoyEMB lol, yeah i've been thinking of building some more 'grande' entrances but just never made it top priority yet.

[OverHeatedKillers]

why do you need more than one two way repeater

[monkeyfarm]

@OverHeatedKillers redstone signals only travel 15 blocks... so the signal will die every 15 blocks unless i add another repeater

@monkeyfarm I found a way that seems simpler. Put a block with a button on each side, with wiring with repeaters going to the other side from the button block. It connects in to the block on the opposite side of the rail from the block with the button. Unfortunately the link to my screenshot is giving me an error, or I'd give you a picture to help with the explanation. Only problem is it might be a little harder to hide, so it might be uglier.

@StreaminSOS yeah i know it would be simpler to just run two lines, but i wanted to run just one line. no worries :P

[ID4CONFIRMED]

OHHHH throughout the whole video was wondering... why wont one straight line work? Then i finally realised what you ment! If you place normal repeaters they only work one way hence the double sided repeater so it works both ways.

[monkeyfarm]

@Sirtreky LOL, yeah if both rooms are only 15 blocks apart... Try it and let me know how it goes. :P

[bold0727]

what are the flag things? are they pictures?ive been wondering

[FragBashers]

just run two consecutive lines connecting at one point that connect to both the button and the track

[BigBrainMatt]

you could run a normal wire down and up leading to the powered rail at the start only about a stack and a half ( I think) of redstone and a bunch of redstone torches :D

@monkeyfarm why you dont try to use 2-3 carts with chest? 2 carts is always on both "stations"

when you press button to dispatch cart from one station, it just launches , when cart coming to other station, it pushes trigger (in rail) that will dispatch cart that was standing on other station, in this way no red stone wiring needed, only powered rails, 2 buttons and torches to power the way .

You, sir, have an epic base. I thought mine was huge, but yours is a BEAST

[DividingByZeron]

so if you sent the burning cart back to your spider xp farm with wooden floors...
