Minecart Mod

[Bige22]

I want to suggest putting a minecart mod on the server to improve the subway systems, Minecart Mania allows single block minecart boosters/brakes. auto release of mine carts for stations no more setting it on a ramp and hoping in, allow switches to be rolled over preventing the cart from coming to a dead hault from them

provided this wont impact the performance of the server

I find this interesting on several levels. Not the least of which is notch's view of minecart boosters as a glitch to be killed some day. However, there is plenty of speculation that notch will implement his own powered rail system eventually, though, I don't think he's a big fan of making that entirely perpetual.

This mod is a big change for minecarts and my only concern is this may not be what notch wants going forward with minecraft.

With the game being so new we need to hold off on any big game changers until an official release is out. It just wouldn't be good if we built a system based of a mod that we might not use later.

No doubt, I did pick this mod because of it simplicity, placing blocks under the track for desired effects and thought it would be more then easy to undo. I would just like to see the minecart system become a little more useful then it is for now.

I actually asked on the server about this a couple minutes back. I've seen and used this system on another server. It's a wonderful addition but even I have to concede with MrJangles worry of the future of Minecraft.

Though it makes you wonder what's going on in that Notch's cranium.
