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.
