Minecraft - Minecart Rail Dispenser V3

Got the size down a little bit again, to 6x2x5 - 60 blocks per minecart section - now under a third of the size of V1!

you misted 2 redstone torches on the tutorial

these go on the middle yellow blocks on the side (not top) facing the camera

[D3ltra]

@EHTYCSCYTHE ... no I didn't? There are no torches on the yellow layer.

Any issues with this in SMP? I tried building it on my server and it just doesn't work. I tore the first iteration down and rebuilt it and still no go. It has to do with some redstone torches not firing and powering the powered rail... it seems that if I place redstone torches before other things it will mess it up. I don't use redstone at all so sorry if this is a known issue.

@TheFoxual I recorded this video on a multiplayer server, so, no, that isn't an issue. You might be missing something, although redstone torches do break sometimes, if you have tonnes of them. Lots of people are having trouble building it, so I might make a video.

how can you activate this from a farther place? (Ex: instead of the button being next to the whole thing, the button is like 5 or 6 blocks away from the whole thing)

[D3ltra]

@GunGumz Just run a wire to the front powered rail?

[speakman1111]

dude this dispenser is fantastic but its buggy as hell, you need a better step by step because we've all built it as your diagram dictates, yet the minecarts get stuck on the first hold position everytime. so either you changed something in the diagram or you need to place it in the correct order......which again you havent told us. can you please post a better and more detailed tutorial VIDEO where you walk around, build it and then test it please

[Bacon8dbz]

how long did that take to make?

[TomFoster1996]

is this modular can you extend it multiple times?

[xlirate96]

can you upload a download link to the map file?

@D3ltra

I've taken a look at quite a few cart dispensing systems and for something in smp I think this is the design I most prefer.

I've just implemented it in single player creative 1.8.1 and it is working just as expected. (also found the way to compact the rs latch to allow the 6x2x4 dimension)

This style of despenser is amazing. Only problem i have is with my version of minecraft, 1.8....uhmm..the latest one, the detector rails dont detect unmaned carts. Meaning empty carts dont turn the detector rail on when it passes over it. Umm...please assist?

[Thebobsmccoll]

I subbed! Good work

[landervdb]

I have tried your design, and I'm quite certain that I've built it correctly, as shown on your imgur-album. However, I'm dealing with a major issue. As soon as a cart travels over one of the topmost detector rails, the associated redstone torch underneath the block that is supposed to power the next piece of booster track burns out and doesn't come on again. As such, the rest of the carts do not follow. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug in 1.7.3? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

Love your design, thank you, BUT pls speak up your mumbling like crazy not everyone is a native english speaker. Makes it hard to understand you sometimes.

I seem to be having a problem. I built my dispenser exact to the photos and for some odd reason the carts won't load. The circuits underneath do nothing when I hit the button to activate the dispenser. Any insight?
