CRAFTBOOK-2336 - Reported by Jacek.Jąder
Hello. I have request: Ability to connecting minecarts to create trains using for example stick.
This must be in sequence: cart with furnace, empty cart for driver and up to 20 carts with chests.
Rules:
- Cart with furnace is a diesel locomotive that needs coal to work.
- Locomotive needs amount of coal = number of carts with chests.
- Max speed depends on amount of carts with chests.
- Train ignores booster and brake blocks.
- Train can derail when it enter on corner too fast.
Why I wrote this request here? Because I use minecart mechanics from this plugin and I don't need conflicts.
Cheers, Jacold.

Hey, I'm not going to say it won't happen, but this is highly unlikely to be added to CraftBook anytime soon. While cool it would put an ungodly strain on a server and would be overly complicated. In addition, Mojang themselves are looking into this.

Or if not to CraftBook you can create separate plugin that requires CraftBook to work.

TrainCarts plugin developer gave up and he don't want to continue developing this plugin :( Maybe it's good time to create separated module of craftbook that handle trains? Please, I don't want to throw away trains. That version will work only at 1.7

I'll definitely look into it when I get a chance, that'd be a great user base to adopt.
Edit:
After looking into TrainCarts, the train system is incredibly complicated. If we do this, I want to make it as simple as possible.
