+# Minecart
+
+The mod Minecart has its own carts (called Minecart) in addition to the standard carts.
+Minecarts are used for automated item transport on private and public rail networks.
+The main features are:
+
+- Item transport from station to station
+- Carts can run through unloaded areas (only both stations have to be loaded)
+- Automated loading/unloading of Minecarts by means of the Minecart Hopper
+- The rails can be protected by means of landmarks
+
+If the mod Techage is available, then:
+
+- Two additional carts for item and liquid transportation are available
+- Carts can be loaded/unloaded by means of Techage pusher and pumps
+
+You can:
+
+- Enter the cart with a right-click
+- Leave the cart with a jump or a right-click
+- Push/start the cart with a left-click
+
+But carts have their owner and you can't start, stop, or remove foreign carts.
+Carts can only be started at the buffer. If a cart stops on the way,
+remove it and place it at the buffer position.

+
+## Quick start guide
+
+1. Place your rails and build a route with two endpoints.
+   Junctions are allowed as long as each route has its own start and endpoint.
+2. Place a Railway Buffer at both endpoints (buffers are always needed,
+   they store the route and timing information).
+3. Give both Railway Buffers unique station names, like Oxford and Cambridge.
+4. Place a Minecart at a buffer and give it a cart number (1..999)
+5. Drive from buffer to buffer in both directions using the Minecart(!) to
+   record the routes (use 'right-left' keys to control the Minecart).
+6. Punch the buffers to check the connection data
+   (e.g. 'Oxford: connected to Cambridge').
+7. Optional: Configure the Minecart waiting time in both buffers.
+   The Minecart will then start automatically after the configured time.
+9. Place a Minecart in front of the buffer and check whether it starts
+   after the configured time.
+10. Drop items into the Minecart and punch the cart to start it.
+11. Dig the cart with 'sneak+click' (as usual). The items will be drop down.

+## Minecart Blocks
+

+
+
+### Cart
+
+Primary used to transport items. You can drop items into the Minecart and punch the cart to get started. 
+Sneak+click the cart to get cart and items back.
+

+
+
+### Buffer
+
+Used as buffer on both rail ends. Needed to be able to record the cart routes.
+
+[minecart:buffer|image]
+
+
+### Landmark
+
+Protect your rails with the Landmarks (one Landmark at least every 16 blocks near the rail.
+
+[minecart:landmark|image]
+
+
+### Hopper
+
+Used to load/unload Minecarts. The Hopper can push/pull items to/from chests
+and drop/pickup items to/from Minecarts. To unload a Minecart place the hopper 
+below the rail. To load the Minecart, place the hopper right next to the Minecart.
+
+[minecart:hopper|image]
+
+
+### Cart pusher
+
+If several carts are running on one route, it can happen that a buffer position
+is already occupied and one cart therefore stops earlier.
+In this case, the cart pusher is used to push the cart towards the buffer again.
+This block must be placed under the rail at a distance of 2 m in front of the buffer.

+
+### Speed limit signs
+
+Limit the cart speed with speed limit signs.
