    So the new bukkit for 1.2.3 is out, I know it's not recommended yet but it is available.

    I used minecart mania alot in 1.1, and it doesnt work on 1.2.3 anymore. Could anyone port it to 1.2.3? Or maybe make a plugin with similar possibilities?

    What I needed most was the minecarts that can pick up items and their ability to store stuff in chests or take it out of a chest. If someone could provide me with a plugin that allows me to do that and works on 1.2.3 I would be very pleased.

    Thank you.

    I am also very interested as well.
    This plugin is vital to update our server to 1.2.3, and I can't seem to find any information regarding if this plugin will be updated in the near future.

    Man... TrainCart doesn't have all the features that MinecartMania had... Can't stop a cart on a certain block (to make my switches), cannot start/Stop in real time, no real stations with sorting, etc... My system is huge and based on it, i can't change everything ! Please update Minecart mania :/ All my train stations no longer works now...

    hmm most of that is possible already with the beta, also bergerkiller wanted feedback for features

    there are some updated jars flying around in the forums, but in the end if nobody really takes over MM you will have issues again and again... and even Afforress dropped MM

    Can't stop a cart on a certain block (to make my switches)
    - you can, see 'blocker' and 'station' signs
    cannot start/Stop in real time
    - see station signs, if you mean clicking on carts, you can fuel powered minecarts on both ends to change direction
    no real stations with sorting, etc...
    - see the 'switcher' WIKI page, it has a complete sorting switching station and more
    My system is huge and based on it, i can't change everything !
    - you can replace all of MM's features with simple sign-based variants. Just make sure you read the WIKI step by step and add all signs at the right location.

    Don Redhorse that is true, so I decided to rewrite AND improve MM to add something Afforess wanted too: trains. It was simply not possible to be done in the present MM system, which uses a wrapper around a minecart. I've tried it myself, but you simply lack the control to handle all of the physics correctly.

    If anything is missing, feel free to reply here. I mean, even the chest/furnace/dispenser item transfer features have been added and significantly improved. It even shows item animations to go with it and it contains a powerful item parser.

    Before requesting something, check if it is not already added:

    Hello

    I'm looking for a successor to MinecartMania but neither TrainCart nor MinecartRevolution seem to fit my needs.

    I run a server with lots of transportation systems, a railway system, an automated subway system, and even an elevator made with MinecartMania.
    I mostly use redstone interaction with minecarts, so the most important part for me is the Sign sensors.
    I didn't see this implemented in TrainCart or any other minecart plugin. And even if it was, I need the syntax used in signs to remain the same as MinecartMania, because I have more than 400 signs on my systems, including sensors, spawn / launch direction, and max speed, and I really don't want to update theme one by one.

    I'm not completely satisfied with MM but so far it was the only solution I found to do what I want, and now I'm stuck with Mincraft 1.1 since the new event system broke MM.

    So the best for me would be having MM ported to 1.2.3 but if this won't happen, could TrainCart be updated to support sing sensors, spawn / launch signs and max speed signs the same way MM used to do ?
    Or maby some kind of converter, that will convert sings from MM to their equivalent ?

    I also wish there were a solution to avoid entity collistion with minecart, because in my mind, a player should never interact with a cart directly, there should always be a redstone circuits to manage the cart.

    If anybody wants to have a look at our server, and see how I'm using Minecart Mania, you can connect to it, it's public, here's the IP : 88.190.37.67:25565

    Thanks for reading.
