Minecart Mania! is a Minecraft Alpha client and [[server_mods|server mod]] created by [http://www.minecraftforum.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=86987 Afforess] that reinvents the minecart game mechanics. It can create boosted track sections, brakes, cart dispensers and more. A video demonstration of some of the features is available [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL7Hqt18CxY here].

= Track Modifiers =
 
Track modifiers work by placing different block types underneath (or in some cases in between) the track sections. Depending on what block is used, different effects can be achieved.
 
 
== Boosters ==
 
Placing minecart tracks on top of gold ore or gold blocks (made from 9 gold ingots) will yield boosted track sections. Gold ore will only boost the minecart by 25% of it's speed / momentum, while gold block double it. Minecarts that are not moving will not be affected by these track sections. Boosted track sections can be disabled by applying a [[redstone]] current to them.
 
 
== Brakes ==
 
Placing [[Slow_Sand|Slow Sand]] from the Nether, or [[gravel]] underneath a section of minecart track will cause any minecart in motion to slow down dramatically as it passes over it. Slow Sand slows a minecart by 50%, gravel only by 20%. This means one Slow Sand block will undo the boost given by a gold block, while one gravel will undo the boost from a gold ore block. Additionally, hooking up a powered redstone current to the brake will disable the brake, making it have no effect.
 
 
== Pressure Plates ==
 
Both Wooden and Stone [[Pressure_Plate|Pressure Plates]] act as straight tracks. Although it won't be visible in the game, they will act as a combination of a plate and a track when a minecart passes over them. Pressure plates can also act as a neutral 4 way intersection. Normally, track intersections force carts to switch directions. Using a pressure plate allows minecarts to continue in their original direction. This way, intersecting lanes of track can be built that don't cause the carts to change directions.
 
 
== Bouncers ==
 
Placing a [[Cloth]] block underneath a section of track will cause any minecart in motion to change directions, and continue in the opposite direction with the same speed it had before. Additionally, hooking up a powered redstone current to the Cloth will disable the bouncing mechanic, making it have no effect.
 
 
== Launchers ==
 
[[Obsidian]] can be used to launch stopped minecarts forward. Placing Obsidian underneath track, and applying an active redstone current to it will cause a stationary minecart placed on top to accelerate in the direction the track continues in. In case there is more than one direction available to launch in, the game will follow the compass rose, trying North, East, South and last, West.
 
 
== Dispensers ==
 
Minecarts be automatically stored in single or double [[chests]] without the aid or intervention of a player. Placing a track up to a chest, and pushing a minecart towards it will cause the minecart to be stored in the chest, thus dissappearing from the track once it touches the chest. Giving the chest a redstone current will dispense a minecart if one is available. Used in conjunction with a minecart launcher, this can automate minecart storage.
