Vacuum Hauler Cart

Quickstart

1. Craft a Fillable Minecart using the recipe below and find any rail line.
2. Right-click a rail with the Fillable Minecart in hand to place it — it spawns on the track just like a normal minecart.
3. Let it roll (or sit still) and watch it automatically suck up any dropped items nearby.
4. When you want to unload it, Sneak + Right-click the cart to dump all stored stacks on the ground around it.

Overview

The Vacuum Hauler Cart adds a single powerful item — the Fillable Minecart — designed for bulk item transport and hands-free collection along rail networks. It holds a full double-chest of inventory (54 slots), automatically hoovers up dropped items within ~1.75 blocks, and visually shows you what it's carrying by growing a pile of recognizable item models right in the cart bed.

How To Use

Placing the Cart

Hold the Fillable Minecart and right-click any rail block. The cart will appear on the track ready to go.

Automatic Vacuuming

The cart continuously scans for dropped item entities within roughly 1.75 blocks every few ticks — whether it is moving or stationary. Collected items are stored in its 54 internal slots. Once all slots are full, it stops collecting until space is freed.

Interacting With the Cart

• Right-click — The cart is sealed; you will see the hint message "Sealed cart: sneak + right-click to dump its cargo." No inventory screen opens.
• Sneak + Right-click — Dumps all stored stacks onto the ground around the cart immediately. A short cooldown applies before you can dump again. A message confirms how many stacks were dropped: "Dumped X stored stacks."

Cart Destruction

If the cart is destroyed (killed), it automatically drops all of its stored contents so nothing is lost.

Abilities And Mechanics

Visual Fill Stages

As the cart's 54 slots fill up, an irregular cargo pile grows in the center of the cart bed. The pile passes through three named stages:

Up to six cargo patches render on the pile, each offset at a unique position and angle. The patches grow in both count and size as the fill ratio increases.

Item Texture Display

The cargo pile doesn't just grow — it shows the actual textures and models of the items inside. Up to four representative item types from the cart's inventory are sampled and displayed on the pile, so you can glance at a passing cart and see whether it's hauling cobblestone, wheat, ore, or anything else. This visual data is synced to all nearby clients.

Inventory Persistence

All stored items are saved to disk with the world and survive server restarts, chunk unloads, and reloads.

Progression And Strategy

• Early automation: Place a Fillable Minecart at the output of a farm or mob grinder. It will collect drops on its own without needing a hopper chain beneath the cart.
• Transport loop: Run the cart along a closed rail loop through multiple collection areas. When it returns to base, sneak + right-click to unload everything at once.
• Visual monitoring: Because the pile displays actual item models, you can tell at a glance whether a cart is empty, partially loaded, or overflowing — no need to interact with it.
• Capacity planning: The cart holds 54 slots (a full double-chest). For very high-throughput farms, consider running multiple carts on the same loop or adding more rails to keep up with drop rates.
• Safe destruction: If you need to break a cart mid-run, simply attack it — all contents drop safely on the spot.
