Great idea, I think only chests though, the other ones wouldn't really help as much. I also think you should think about cannons, turrets, cctv, etc, because I think those are the really good ideas, but I do agree, chests first, defense wall with auto turrents and cctv's second. ;]
Lukario
when you mean cctv (closed circut tv) you mean to see the enemy. when you mean fire a turrer you mean send a redstone pule to the closest turrer and it would fire. ( you done mean remotly ajusting the turrets position. ) I think that a dispencor could do that if it was able to detedt redstone pule near by. cos the carts can be pointed in any direction you can preset where it will fire. ( Have i got it right now ?? )
New lap top what moddle did you have in mind ??
Google Sketch Up is a kinda easy to use if you want pointers im shore that i could help you out.
Syrtees
The two that are most important in my mind is the chest and the workbenck. if no other gets made these are the ones i want above the rest. so cannons would be very cool but if i hade to chose between a cannon and a chest I would always choose the chest. ALWAYS.

Ok 1. Yes you got it right now.
2.Im going to check out staples to see which one i want
and 3.yeah the closest i could get so far in less than a hour is maybe a messed up box D:

I think the others would be helpfull if you had wolves pulling them.
so you could take one of eatch with you or a stack of Chest carts.
Added a Canon model. as for cctv and auto turrents I Did not say they would fit minecraft . I just mis read Lukario is all .
sorted it out.

Ok Then
Sestion 1 - How to make a Box The sizes you want.
Step one
To make a Simple 1M X 1M Box
I will asume you mesed with the camere controles. ( to move youre perspective)
If Not Please tell me
First select the Rectangle tool the one with the Square box as its icon.
then click (very quickly ) at the poiny where the blue green and red lines meat.a yello mark will apear when the mouse is over it. You should now notice a rectngle that moves around as you move the mouse. (if it is stationary and douse not move you have clicked to long .)
Now stop movng the mouse and type exactly as it is hear: 1M,1M
This should show up in the bottem bar right side Black text white back ground.
after typed in hit enter .The box should now Be 1M X 1M .
( congradulations on youre first accuritly made Square.)
Step two.
now select the tool Push/pull ( the one with a box under a red arrow )
again lightly click on center of the squar we made ealier.
move the mouse up because we want the box to be above the red / green Plane.
now type in 1M
It should apear in the same box as the last lot of numbers opeared in.
press enter again.
Congradulation on youre first 1M X 1M X 1M Cube.
With that basic principle you can now make any sized Box Or rectangle you like.
Step Three.
Removing Part of the cube.
Ok so select the Rectangle tool again and place the mouse on one of the top corners ( lightly click again )
Now move the mouse to the center of the top Squre . make it about 1/4 the size of the Box . The click again .
You should now see the box is rufly 1/4 the size of the top square.
( you can type on the size values if you would like 0.5M,0.5M )
Note: Unites can be imputed in Metric or imperail . E.g. 50cm,50cm 500mm,500mm ect..
now select. push pull again and Click and Drag The middle of the squre you made (the small one on top )
Drag untill it is about 50cm down release the mouse the box should now have a depertion in the side of it.
This is Some of the basic building blocks i use to make objects.
Next time i will cover Components ( what ther are and how to use them )
and how to move Objects.
Did This Help .
And Should i make a Vides. ( if so where is best to uploade it )
After Trying This Make some more boxes of diffrent sizes and remove bites of them or extend bits .

Section 1 - How to make a Box The sizes you want.

To make a Simple 1M X 1M Box
I will assume you messed with the camera controls. ( to move your perspective)
If Not Please tell me
First select the Rectangle tool the one with the Square box as its icon.
then click (very quickly ) at the point where the blue green and red lines meat.a yellow mark will appear when the mouse is over it. You should now notice a rectangle that moves around as you move the mouse. (if it is stationary and douse not move you have clicked to long .)
Now stop moving the mouse and type exactly as it is hear: 1M,1M
This should show up in the bottom bar right side Black text white back ground.
after typed in hit enter .The box should now Be 1M X 1M .
( congratulations on your first accurately made Square.)
Step two.
now select the tool Push/pull ( the one with a box under a red arrow )
again lightly click on center of the square we made earlier.
move the mouse up because we want the box to be above the red / green Plane.
now type in 1M
It should appear in the same box as the last lot of numbers appeared in.
press enter again.
Congratulation on your first 1M X 1M X 1M Cube.
With that basic principle you can now make any sized Box Or rectangle you like.
Step Three.
Removing Part of the cube.
Ok so select the Rectangle tool again and place the mouse on one of the top corners ( lightly click again )
Now move the mouse to the center of the top Square . make it about 1/4 the size of the Box . The click again .
You should now see the box is ruffly 1/4 the size of the top square.
( you can type on the size values if you would like 0.5M,0.5M )
Note: Unites can be imputed in Metric or imperial . E.g. 50cm,50cm 500mm,500mm ect..
now select. push pull again and Click and Drag The middle of the square you made (the small one on top )
Drag until it is about 50cm down release the mouse the box should now have a depertion in the side of it.
This is Some of the basic building blocks i use to make objects.
Next time i will cover Components ( what there are and how to use them )
and how to move Objects.
Did This Help .
And Should i make a Videos. ( if so where is best to upload it )
After Trying This Make some more boxes of different sizes and remove bites of them or extend bits .
OK i will read this but I need my laptop LOL.
and yes you should post videos and put them on the forums so minecrafters can see too
This is a truly novel idea; and I hope you do find a capable Coder to tackle this project.
A thought: I remember seeing an NPC Village Mod somewhere. Maybe you could ask them for help, since peasants pulling carts are as much a part of the Medieval theme as knights on horseback.
Closing channels.... but I will monitoring this theme for activity....
BigShinyToys, I learned about some kind of animal mod that includes a turtle, one that if you befriend it, then you can put a small chest on its back which it will carry as it follows you. This sounds similar enough to your own idea of cart-items, I wanted you to know about it. When I find the forum thread for it, I'll post a link. The one created it might be able to create your "Item-Carts Mod".
Closing channels.....
:cool.gif:
EDIT:
I found the Mod; and its going into a second version. Here's the link:
Looking for a modder or if you want to add this to youre existing mod please fell free to with out any probblems from me .. a Pm befor adding it would be Nice but not expected or a post hear. Thanks and Please concider this.
Been looking around, and asking for help but so far no luck, however found a very intriguing thread in the Modding Discussion Forum:
If it comes into existence, it would allow you to use a simple program to create simple Mods for Minecraft. While I doubt it could handle what I'm personally thinking should be called "CartCraft", it could help lay the ground-work, leaving only the cart-models and their coding to be dealt with.
Fantastic! My eyes really popped open when I opened this thread because this is exactly what I was going to post a suggestion for a little while ago but hadn't gotten around to it yet. But I'm glad you posted it because you were able to add those really nice models for inspiration!
What I was envisaging was just a movable cart item ( "pull-cart" ) that any single block sized item could be placed into, primarily for chests but not restricted to them. And so far as hills are concerned I'd just have the movement be slower when going up hill, and maybe we could actually ride them down hill? :smile.gif:. The whole point behind a non-track cart in minecraft would be mobility for a large amount of items ( or one large one ) to hard to get to places on-the-go.
The other major benefit to these types of carts would be more easily movable chests and being able to easily park them in stalls and move them around at will. Fill up a chest with logs over at your tree farm then cart it over to your main storage bunker etc.
And for any that think that pull-carts don't make sense for minecraft.. Pull-carts existed looong before railroads in the real world. Pull-carts make more sense for minecraft than even rails do.
Thank you for going to the work that you did for this, it is definitely something that should be in the game, in vanilla even.
I saw that till now noone replied as a coder, but I came across this so, if you want, I can try it. I have succesfully made mods with items and blocks (with entities) and was near to complete a mod with fluids and made some experiments with a rocket launcher mod. It would be possible to make for me, as you can see, but firstly I wanna get those sketches. (It is also possible that it's awesomely easy to make.)
Fantastic! Thanks for responding. I hope this works out. :smile.gif:

MinecraftNewbie, on 28 May 2011 - 04:27 AM, said: can this mod be combined it mo creatures so that the horses pulling the cart :biggrin.gif:
Certainly seems like the right way to go with this.
I wouldn't mind it being added to that mod, but it needs to be separate on it's own too. I would prefer that it remain separate but compatible with that mod and others. These carts allow the player themselves to cart things around without needing an animal to do it, especially one from one specific mod. There are a lot of people that would like to use this but not necessarily other mods.

I have looked at the mod kit it might be good but i dont know not knowing JAVA or any other programing language . The only thing i have ever made a program for was a PICAXE 28M ( this is a microcontroler Very simple programs ) . i could not say how usefull it would be . as far as i can tell an entity that has custom storage for items would need to be written for scratch as the game has no sutch (Thing yet) ( could not think of a better term than Thing lol )
Thanks for youre continued suport.

Thanks for trying to find a modder.

All the reasons you mentioned played into the formation of this request. I gess i was quicker to post it than you LOL .
Also i wanted this to be a seprite mod BUT having not seen a lot of intrese in this in a while i was looking for other options and geting a Mod maker to add it to his mod was the only option that i came up with. not the prefered one BUT the only one that seamed to work ( and it failed After i tryed 3 moders and only one responded NOT Faviribly )
Thanks for all the suport.
