Minecart Dispenser

[theyoungster1]

Yeeeah, you know how a dispenser with TNT and an iron ingot spits out a TNT block?

we should have something similar for minecarts. when you put a minecart and something else (a diamond?) in a dispenser, it dispenses minecarts.

however, these minecarts are special.

when you break them, they don't drop a minecart item, and you can't have more than three minecarts from that dispenser at the same time (to make sure nobody can crash the server with excessive numbers of minecarts). this would make for good rollercoasters, highways, etc, and would rid users of having to bring a minecart with them 24/7.

So upon 'firing' this Minecart, it would mount the nearest player in the cart that's being thrown? (Since there is no good way to keep track of who 'triggered' the event)

I very much support this idea.

I think it would be cool to require 8 diamonds and 1 minecart in the center of the dispenser to make it act this way.
It would Never run out of carts
Can only have 3 carts simultaneously
If a minecart is empty for say 2 seconds(?) it disappears.
When it launches a cart the nearest person is automatically put into the cart
If the cart is broken no carts are dropped

Also dispensers would need to be protected to prevent stealing the diamond and cart from it.

I think this is a good list, anybody disagree?

As long as we didn't lose any of the diamonds yes,
Not the nearest person? Maby have it so it just dispenses on the track.
