Steve's Carts Mod Wiki

Steve's Carts is a mod that significantly expands the capabilities of the vanilla minecart system, allowing players to design and build highly specialized and automated carts. Instead of the basic minecarts, players can combine various modules to create carts with features such as drills, rail placers, solar panels, storage, farming capabilities, dynamite carriers, steerable seats, shields, and auto-shooters. The modular system allows for an enormous number of unique cart combinations, making it possible to create over a billion different carts. Getting started with the mod is straightforward, primarily revolving around the Cart Assembler.

The core mechanic of Steve's Carts revolves around the Cart Assembler. This block is essential for constructing any custom cart. To assemble a cart, players need a Hull, various modules, and fuel (such as coal or charcoal) placed in the assembler's GUI. The chosen Hull determines the number and types of modules that can be added. Once all desired components are in place, clicking 'Assemble' creates the custom cart.

Beyond assembly, the mod introduces several blocks for automating cart operations:

• Cargo Manager: This block collects or loads items to and from passing carts.
• Advanced Detector Rail: Used in conjunction with the Cargo Manager, this rail stops a cart to facilitate item loading or unloading.
• Cargo Distributor: An enhancement for the Cargo Manager, improving interaction with pipes or tubes for item transfer.
• Module Toggler: This block allows players to enable or disable specific modules on a cart as it passes by.

Modules are the building blocks of custom carts, categorized by their function.

Steve's Carts adds several functional blocks to Minecraft, primarily focused on cart assembly and automation. There are 5 blocks available.

• Cart Assembler: The central block for constructing custom carts. It requires a Hull, modules, and fuel (like coal or charcoal) to operate.
• Cargo Manager: This block facilitates the automatic transfer of items to and from passing carts.
• Advanced Detector Rail: A specialized rail that can stop a cart at a Cargo Manager for automated loading or unloading.
• Cargo Distributor: An upgrade for the Cargo Manager, enhancing its ability to interact with item transportation systems like pipes.
• Module Toggler: Allows for the dynamic enabling or disabling of specific modules on a cart as it traverses the rail.

Crafting recipes are integral to Steve's Carts, primarily for the Cart Assembler and its components. While specific recipes for every item and module are extensive, the foundational recipe for the Cart Assembler is key.

Cart Assembler

To craft a Cart Assembler, players typically need:

• 11 Iron Ingots
• 8 Redstone
• 2 Gold Ingots
• 4 Stone

The process involves first crafting two Simple PCBs using Gold, Iron, and Redstone, and then combining these PCBs with the remaining Iron and Stone to create the Cart Assembler.

Cart Assembly

Assembling a custom cart in the Cart Assembler requires:

1. A chosen Hull placed in the top-left slot of the GUI.
2. Desired Modules inserted into the assembler.
3. Fuel (e.g., Coal or Charcoal) in the left slot of the two bottom-right slots.

Once these components are present, activating the 'Assemble' button will construct the custom cart, which appears in the right slot.
