    Here's a new round of updates to Vincent!
    • It will now take a little longer for you to deplete your hunger bar.
    • Upon dying, your death coordinates will be printed to your own chat.
    • Yellow wool booster blocks now boost more gradually.
    [h2]Stations[/h2]
    Stations from Vincent of yesteryear are back, but now you place green wool underneath the tracks to mark a station.

    The purpose of stations is that they put your Minecart into a constant reduced speed (after several ticks, at least), which makes it easier to get off. When disembarking from a station, your Minecart will also be removed from the world. Should you stay in your cart through the station, you will start gradually speeding up after you leave the station.
    [h2]Station Dispensers[/h2]
    It may be conceivable that you may want to be able to get back onto the track and continue down one of the directions. Fortunately, you can also place a dispenser below the track and activate it as you have before (at the terminus of a track).

    The dispenser will dispense unlimited carts onto the rail with a velocity in the direction of the dispenser's forward face.

    For those who are not very well versed in Redstone, the pressure plate activates the Redstone wire two blocks below it. Because we can't simply run a wire from the plate to the dispenser (the wire wouldn't point "into" the dispenser), a Redstone repeater is used.

    Does this mean more yellow wool is needed or simply that the extra momentum is applied gradually?

    could whoever designed taenarius station also design central station? central station doesn't feel as grand as it should.

    Central Station really needs work. No one really got around to finishing it.

    can I just finish it personally, or do i need permission from others on the server? I will have a lot of free time so I can do it but i am afraid that other may not like it.

    I built it so I guess I call the shots. You can do it if you want.

    i'd also be willing to help, but more with the redstone and other aspects, rather than design...
