Minecarts are created by placing down a hopper minecart and entering the same recipe as a [[Liquid Tanks|Liquid Tank]].

Liquid Minecarts can be filled by a tank if the hopper points into the minecart either from the top of one of the sides, and emptied by driving them over a tank. If a minecart already has liquid in it, it will only accept the contents of tanks with the same liquid and vice versa.

Liquid Minecarts are used to move liquids between liquid tanks and support any new liquids automatically.

Features

Unlike Liquid Tanks, Liquid Minecarts do not have a GUI for survival players and have no functionality outside of being able to interface with tanks. Instead, one should think of them as pipes.

Liquid Minecarts can be filled by a tank if the hopper points into the minecart either from the top of one of the sides, and emptied by driving them over a tank. If a minecart already has liquid in it, it will only accept the contents of tanks with the same liquid and vice versa.

The Liquid Minecart can be fully emptied by driving it over an activator rail.

Crafting

The Liquid Minecart can be crafted in a Custom Crafter with a liquid tank and minecart:

MC 1.14-1.17 Versions

Prior to 1.18, Liquid Tanks were created by inserting the following items into a hopper (shapeless recipe), followed by dropping a Glass Block on top of the hopper to complete the creation of the tank.
