Hey guys! I've created this 36 destination minecart station. The basic gist is that when you're sat in your minecart you can hit a button and get directed to the corresponding outlet. You can use this station on it's own as a central hub but the design goes well beyond that. By copying the station throughout a map 37 times (36 destinations + the one you're in), a rail network can be created. Every station can be linked to every station on the network. It would mean building 666 connections but that's what servers are for.
Unpacking
Load the schematic file in Worldedit (//schem load mcedit ts3). It is important for the station to be facing WEST when pasting (//paste). The station will be pasted with you standing in the middle of the entrance at ground level. You will need to place two rails where indicated by the signs. Next take a furnace minecart and place it on the power rail between the launch buttons and push it all the way into the hole until it is completely submerged in the block behind (see images above). Press any of the buttons and stand clear of the rails. In about 10 seconds a minecart will appear and stop in the hole. Pressing the button also 'primes' the tracks downstairs for the first run.
First Run
Jump into the minecart and press any button. There will be a delay before setting off depending on which outlet you choose. The nearest outlet sets off instantly and the delay builds up to 11 seconds for the Furthest one. All being well, you should end up at the outlet which corresponds to the button you pressed. Don't get out of the minecart, just shunt it in the opposite direction to go back upstairs. This is also the route you will take when entering the station from another station.
Outlets
The four blocks at the end of the outlet will need to be removed when sending a line out of the station. You can send out a single line but a twin track will work better on servers one outbound and one inbound to prevent collisions. There's a picture showing the track layout in the gallery and an example on the ground level of the station.
Minecart Dispenser
There is a minecart dispenser that releases one every time you leave the station. It holds two hoppers and a dispensers worth of minecarts and is already full. A note block alarm kicks in when it is nearly empty. Fill it up where indicated.
Copying the Stations
On my map for these stations, I have them around 500 blocks apart. This is a good minimum amount. Load the original schematic into your Worldedit clipboard. We'll use the first outlet, which is the Oak Wood Planks as an example. With the iron block station in place, head to your desired location for the next station and paste it in. You now need to replace all of the iron blocks with oak wood planks (//replace 42 5). Now replace the oak wood plank button and outlet with iron block.
Carry out all the steps in the unpacking section. The next outlet is the spruce planks,so, do the same and swap it for the iron etc...
Do this for all the stations. Notice how the iron block is the only one that changes position.
Connecting the Stations
You now need to connect the oakwood station to the iron station. Join the iron outlet of the oakwood station to the oakwood inlet of the iron station (phew!) It looks more complicated written down than it actually is.
Aesthetics
I've used a lot of sea lanterns throughout the station mainly to prevent mobs from spawning inside. The box shape facilitates quick and easy pasting. When pasting above ground any design can easily be applied to the outside. It can also be totally submerged if you wish. The button/outlet blocks are purely my random choice and can be easily changed.
Track Building Tips
Having Worldedit comes in real handy for laying long tracks. Huge tracts of land can be levelled out in one go, long embankments built, large tunnels carved out, viaducts copied and pasted and multiple rails laid at once.
Thanks for looking and I hope you Enjoy. I will try to make a video in a few weeks.
P.S. I'll leave a list of the button/outlet block id's in the right order below.
