@ -7,25 +7,35 @@ The on-rail movement is handled with a custom algorithm. This section details
the latter.
The data for on-rail minecart movement is stored entirely inside mod storage
and indexed by a hex-encoded 128-bit universally-unique identifier (uuid). The
code for handling this storage is in [storage.lua](./storage.lua). This was
done so that minecarts can still move while no players are connected or
when out of range of players. Inspiration for this was the [Adv Trains mod](http://advtrains.de/).
This is a behavior difference when compared to minecraft, as carts there will
stop movement when out of range of players.

Processing for minecart movement is as follows:
1. In a globalstep handler, determine which carts are moving.
1. In a globalstep handler in [carts.lua](./carts.lua), determine which carts are

the cart's location and handle interactions with the environment.

1. Each movement is broken up into one or more steps that are completely
contained inside a block. This prevents carts from ever jumping from
one rail to another over a gap or thru solid blocks because of server
lag.

the functions `handle_cart_enter` and `handle_cart_leave`
4. The cart checks for nearby carts and collides elastically with these. The
calculations for these collisions are in the function `handle_cart_collision`
5. If the cart enters a new block, determine the new direction the cart will
move with `mcl_minecarts:get_rail_direction` in [functions.lua](./functions.lua].
The rail nodes provide a hook `_mcl_minecarts.get_next_direction` that
provides this information based on the previous movement direction.
3. If an entity exists for a given cart, the entity will update its position
while loaded in.

the cart data to allow removing old entities from the minetest engine. Any cart
entity that does not have the current sequence number for a minecart gets removed
once processing for that entity resumes.
