Dispenser Minecarts
A data pack & mod for 1.21 that adds minecarts with dispensers and minecarts with droppers.
Features
- Includes all* vanilla dispenser and dropper functionality.
- Dispensers & droppers can be rotated in all five directions.
- Optimized for performance on servers, such that having hundreds of minecarts loaded should have low tps impact.
- Can work with the Dispensers Place Blocks data pack - when both are installed, dispenser minecarts can place blocks as they move.
How to use
- Craft them like you would expect - combine a minecart with a dispenser or dropper.
- Place items into the leftmost 3x3 grid.
- Power an activator rail to trigger the minecart.
Limitations
- *Dispenser minecarts cannot dispense bone meal or spawn eggs.
- Minecart rotation may appear visually glitchy when crossing diagonal rails, however this has no effect on their functionality.
- Minecarts frequently colliding with other minecarts can cause them to flip their rotation server-side.
- This is not just a visual glitch, however this is a vanilla bug that is difficult to fix with a data pack.
