For those who want to build on the information from this video and want more information on carts, the guy continues his lessons with these:
Part 2 - An automated cart delivery system that gives you a cart when you step into the station:

Part 3 - Even more advanced cart systems. Explains the south/west rule, more advanced redstone wiring and a system to pause the cart so you can get on and off among other things:

*promote the the ending of part 1 and the overall how-to value. I am starting to build such a system for my mine.

Upvote for the end. That was awesome.

The ending was why I sifted it. Otherwise I probably would have just taken the knowledge, made my cart system and been happy, but the ending was full of win.

I don't understand it, but the man sounds like he knows what he's doing.

*EDIT: Ahh, Part 2 makes a lot more sense.

HOW DID HE NOT SEE THAT EFFING CREEPER BEFORE HE DROPPED DOWN!? Oh man.

Why is there no way to disable the zombies? Does anyone actually want them? If I were playing with my K'Nex and some zombie came up and killed me I'd throw the fucking K'Nex out. It's a sandbox game, not Resident Evil.

*I've never played Minecraft and so do not know if there is some way to disable zombie attacks.

Probably for the same reason people don't see the guy in the gorilla suit pass by, selective attention. It is far easier when watching a video of a person play a game to catch what they are missing, but another thing while in game to miss it.

You could put the game on Peaceful mode, and I think I would if I was making a tutorial like this one, but that sort of ruins the fun of playing the game itself. It isn't just a sandbox game. If you want that play the free Classic version. Half the fun is fending off the enemy and protecting yourself.
