Like I want it to work so someone clicks the button or stands on the tile to click the button and gets a minecart but cant clean them out so fast.

Anyone have any solutions to that be much appreciated.

It's impossible to prevent people from activating it multiple times.

Nope. I know melons and pumpkins grow at a certain speed or time. It might be possible to use this so that when ever a pumpkin or melon grows it gets broken immediately by a piston in which the melons/pumpkin lands on a pressure plate which inverts the signal of a hopper. which drops a minecart into a dispenser. No one is going to be standing at the dspenser pressing it every 5min

I love this idea, thanks Monkeychunks!

Or you could just have a timer so that they can only click the button once every 20 minutes or so? This is pretty simple. If you want it made near spawn or near a subway station gimme directions and I'll make it for ya

EDIT: for free as long as it doesn't take too long to get there

Something with a short timer of like a min or 2 I would think would work best.

I doubt most ppl would sit there that long clicking a button just to take it all, at least not when its not giving it out with every click.

I have a realms not to far from spawn or at Abyssus

I'll check and see if you're on at the same time I am, if so lead me pl0x

I feel guilty for not doing it >.>. I did it on single player if you want, it turned out to have a very simple and compact solution which I hadn't thought of before doing some tests :3.

Basically, the button will dispense any block, in this case dirt, onto a wooden pressure plate (if you are going to pipe in your trash into this system, be careful to use a dropper, just in case you throw away arrows/snowballs or other things that will be shot out instead of dropped as items from a dispenser). This plate will turn the power on for the minecart dispenser. Since the wooden pressure plate is adjacent to the trash dispenser, this will also power the trash dispenser. When a dispenser is constantly powered, it will dispense once and once only regardless of if you power it again, so until the item despawns, pressing the button won't do anything, even waste more trash . The system will be locked until 5 minutes after the user has pressed the button and the item is gone. Note that this is 5 minutes of the chunk being loaded, which is going to be significantly longer in most cases than 5 minutes. I've included some screenshots and a world download :3.

To use the world download, unzip the file and put the folder in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

Thanks I loaded it and it works great. I'm going to build the fanceh one (or 2) at Abyssus station sometime.
Would be better to have a lower timer on it but its better then someone being able to clean it out in 5 mins lol.

How many seconds do you want the timer to be, Soul Knight? There's another solution that uses a dropper firing items into a hopper, then feeding them back down again - never needs reloading with junk as the wooden pressure plate dropper would in SuperCreeper's design.

No offence meant to your design SuperCreeper - it's a good one - but I think it could be tidier without the despawn.

If you let me know the time period you want, Soul Knight, I'll make one in single player and screenshot it for you.
