<p>Minecarts with hoppers have a few useful mechanics that players should know about.</p>
<p>Firstly, minecarts with hoppers will pull any items lying on the ground within a very close radius to the cart. They can also pull items from a container that is located above the track. The rate of pulling is 20 blocks per second, which is significantly faster than a regular hopper. Items can be dropped from regular hoppers into the minecart with hopper.</p><div class=)
The hopper can be disabled when the minecart passes over a powered activator rail and enabled again when the minecart passes over an unpowered activator rail. The minecart with hopper will also travel farther than regular minecarts when given the same two-block powered rail start.

<p>Due to their item-dispensing properties combined with their mobile capability, minecarts with hoppers can be utilized in some interesting builds.</p>
<p>As seen in the image above, the player creates an automatic smeltery with a minecart with hopper. The minecart travels back and forth, which allows for the distribution of resources into the multiple furnaces below. This is a super ingenious way to automate smelting without having to be well versed in redstone.</p>
<p>It is also possible to create auto-loading stations with minecarts with hoppers. The player can load up the minecart with items and send them to another location. Once the minecart arrives, it will automatically load the items up into a chest system. Players also have the option to have the minecart returned.</p>
