Simple minecraft computer-craft add-on for handling minecarts. The mod includes a detector block for computers and a new peripheral for turtles. This mod is made for Better Minecarts but can be used without it.
Place the minecart detector under any type of rail. The detector will see all minecarts and rails within its detection range (default 25 blocks, configurable). The detector range works across the rails, so you will need to connect the rails together or use multiple detectors. You can connect your computer to either side of the detector and use it with wires.
