Talk:Minecart with Hopper

If you have a question about hopper mechanics, check the page on stationary hoppers first. I posted a question here, moved on to the hopper page and found what I was looking for. Rashkavar 07:13, 21 March 2013 (UTC) This page could use content about why Minecart with Hopper is used in farms to catch food tossed from one farmer to another. Why not just put a hopper into the ground between them, maybe with a carpet above that, and use a trapdoor at head level to keep the villagers apart. It's common to see videos that say "put a rail down, put the minecart with hopper on it, then break out the rail". The cart falls down to rest on what's under it, usually a hopper or chest. Is that just to maintain alignment? A minecart placed like this can still be moved if not held in place by other means. What mechanics are being used with this technique?
