SimpleCarts

SimpleCarts is a player-oriented solution to making Minecarts on your server easy and efficient to use. It is an alternative to similar plugins like MinecartMania and CraftBook Carts, but with less hassle.

How does it work?
Like other Minecart-enhancing plugins, SimpleCarts uses "control blocks" placed under a Rail, Detector Rail or Powered Rail to perform one of many different actions. When a Minecart moves into the space above one of these blocks, that action is performed. Available control blocks are:
 * Booster: Speed up a Minecart by 2x speed (default Gold Block).


 * Bouncer: Reverse the direction that a Minecart is traveling (default Wool).


 * Brake: Slow down a Minecart by 1/2 speed (default Soul Sand).


 * Ejector: Eject a player from a Minecart (default Iron Block).


 * Elevator: Teleport a Minecart up/down onto another Elevator block (default Diamond Block).


 * Intersection: Choose the cardinal direction for a Minecart to travel (default Brick).


 * Station: Stop a player-filled Minecart entirely, and launch once powered (default Obsidian).

All blocks excluding Intersections can be disabled by an active redstone current by default.

SimpleCarts also includes the following "utility blocks" (the block types of which are not configurable):
 * Collector: Gather a Minecart upon collision (always Chest).


 * Dispenser: Spawn a Minecart once powered (always Dispenser).

Why use this?
Player-oriented: SimpleCarts deals only with Minecarts which are being used by a player. Unoccupied and mob-filled carts are left untouched. This plugin is great for servers which use Minecarts as an important means of transportation.

Redstone-friendly: This plugin focuses only on player-filled Minecarts. As such, most redstone devices like Minecart switches will continue to function properly.

Total control: Players can easily set Minecarts in motion by punching the cart, in addition to traditional methods. The power to stop movement is provided as well (when not disabled). With entity removal, neither Cow nor Creeper dare stand in the way of an occupied Minecart.

Multi-world functionality: Not comfortable with SimpleCarts in the Nether? Through the configuration, it's easy to enable or disable which worlds the plugin is allowed to work in.
