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 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.

A note on why liquid minecarts are command_block_minecart entities. Originally a regular minecart was used but this caused the passenger tank armour stand to be ejected when going over an activator rail. Minecarts themselves don't support skulls as a custom display block. Because they have no GUI functionality and seeing a hopper interface on a mobile liquid tank would cause players to expect it to be able to bottle and unbottle. Furthermore, a GUI will cause the tank to suck items out of hoppers or place them in, potentially messing up auto-filler systems if it picks something up while travelling down a track. Furnace minecarts drive weird as we all know so command block minecart it is! There's an added advantage that the "drain" feature is entered as a command in the minecart itself meaning there's no 20hz clock needed to check for activator rails. As far as I can tell, in survival, it acts like a normal minecart. You can't view the command GUI and breaking it doesn't drop a command block. | {| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" | ||
