Saw youtube videos and fellow redditors' posts on minecart yeeting and thought I wanna give it a go. Targeting 1 wide tileable, as cheap and compact as possible.
Prototype here is manually triggered during testing to achieve the content separation first (it was a pain as minecarts don't drop in creative mode when destroyed by trident). Played around with variations and finally landed on the design in the screenshots. The most reliable so far, 50 runs and always achieve separation.
Further findings:
– Cart landing on flipped up or flipped down trapdoor does not affect results. But trapdoor has to cycle once for cart to rest on mud and must be flipped up at point of destruction to achieve separation.
– Tested with hopper cart under piston for collection. Cart landing on extended or retracted piston is still beyond range of collection cart, content never gets unintentionally extracted. However, it has to land on extended piston and get destroyed on retraction to prevent drops from landing on trapdoor.
Will work on the redstone after this. Anyone else is welcomed to use this and come up with their variations!
