This is just a random thought i had yesterday.
You know how minecarts is never used for mining, right?
I mean, what's the point. you can have 20+ stacks off iron in your inventory without ever slowing down. But it does sound kind off cool working together with some people on an smp servers, where you guys use minecart, some people lay tracks, some people mine and put them in carts, and some people is at the top and taking the ores out and sending the carts back down.
But how can this actually be useful? With the addition off weight slowing you down. just a single iron/cobble block weights a lot. if you slowed down the more you had in your inventory, going up and down would be very hard. That's where minecarts comes in.
However, this solves another problem, powered minecarts. they are never used, booster rails is just too good. So i say those two should act in two different ways.
powered rails: they transports the player very fast, but if the player/chest has a lot off stuff in it, they will go very slow, or not go at all.
powered minecarts: They move very slowly, however they are not affected by weight. so they could transfer 20 stacks off cobble with no problem, where a powered rail wouldn't be able to transfer any at all :tongue.gif:
I know that it will be boring for a lot off people if this is implented. Maybe it should be a server option or something like that.
it was just a random thought, what do you guys think? :smile.gif:

thanks ^^
I'm very unsure about how the other people will think about this though :tongue.gif:
