This works due to the fact that, to recive the previously mentioned boost, the station does not have to be directly powered so a single line of redstone can power both stations

Intro

While how minecarts work in alpha 1.2.6 is mostly identical to modern versions, the craftbook plugin makes drastic changed to minecart mechanics, all of which this page will aim to document.

Stations

File:Station sign n shiter
A station

Stations will stop any minecarts passing over them and, when powered using redstone, give them a large boost.
To make a station, simply:

  1. Write [Station] on the second line of a sign facing in the direction you wish the station to propel a minecart in
  2. Place an obsidian block on top of the sign, and
  3. Place a rain atop the obsidian block.

If the sign, obsidian block or rail is powered by a line of redstone the minecart will recive a large boost

How To Construct A 2-Way Station

The main limitation of stations is the fact they are only one way, however using a simple setup that can be fixed

This works due to the fact that, to recive the previously mentioned boost, the station does not have to be directly powered so a single line of redstone can power both stations
