Well, I think we need something along the lines of a pump trolley in minecraft. It would work like a minecart, but would not need to run on tracks (Although it should be able to do that as well..).
I have a few ideas on how to craft a pump trolley.
First idea:
Lever, Cobble, Lever
None, Cobble, None
Iron, Iron, Iron
Another idea would be to craft a pump seperate, and combine that with a minecart.
I'm not good at making models, but it would look like a flat minecart. In the middle, there would be a stand with a T shaped handle off of each side. To move it, you would right or left click on the pump handle. It would tilt down like a seesaw, move the trolley about half a block, and make some sort of squeak noise. Then, to move it again, click the other handle. It would work well with two people; in multiplayer, but it would still be able to be manned by one person. Also, you can only move it by pressing the handle that's up.
So, tell me what you think, please. Kind of an odd idea, but I think it fits the theme and would be useful.
creative idea, isn't it. It would be handy, but then it would make powered carts be even less useful. Maybe powered carts are do for a buff.
Yeah..Powered carts are already pretty pointless with all the powered rails :wink.gif:
Maybe powered carts should go faster depending on how much coal is in it. If you could make powered tracks less fast, and powered carts about as fast as regular rails, it would be a lot more useful/convenient.
