Rail-Based Item Transport with Grated Hopper and Chute Minecarts
This guide explores item transport on rails using Grated Hopper Minecarts and Chute Minecarts. These specialized minecarts offer enhanced capabilities for moving items within your rail systems.
Grated Hopper Minecart
The 
Grated Hopper Minecart combines the functionality of a 
Grated Hopper with a standard Minecart, allowing for filtered item collection and transfer while on rails.
A Grated Hopper is a sophisticated item collection device. It can filter which items it accepts using up to five dedicated slots. If no filters are set, it operates like a regular hopper, collecting all items. This item also features a distinct appearance with iron bars on its top.
To craft a Grated Hopper Minecart, combine a Grated Hopper with a Minecart.
Crafting a Grated Hopper
To create a Grated Hopper, you will need five Iron Ingots, one Iron Bars, and one Chest. Alternatively, a Grated Hopper can be crafted by combining Iron Bars with a Hopper.
Chute Minecart
The 
Chute Minecart brings the item-picking capabilities of a 
Chute to your rail network. It is designed to move on rails and transfer collected items directly into containers positioned below its path. This makes it effective for tasks like cleaning up dropped items.
A Chute is a basic wooden item handler. It specifically picks up items from the ground. It does not store items; instead, it immediately passes any collected items downwards into a connected container. The Chute only transfers items in a downward direction.
To craft a Chute Minecart, combine a Chute with a Minecart.
Crafting a Chute
To create a Chute, you will need five Oak Planks and one Dark Oak Log.
Other Crafting Recipes
The mod includes a total of six crafting recipes. Beyond the minecarts and their components, another item is the 
Duct.
Crafting a Duct
A Duct is a wooden pipe designed for item transport. It sends items into connected containers but does not pull items out of them. It ignores items dropped on the ground. Ducts can connect in chains and function in any direction, including upwards.
To craft a Duct, combine two Oak Planks with one Iron Ingot.
