This is a follow-up to my previous post here. TL;DR: I was wondering if there was a way to send a minecart through the End portal and have it land on a track.

A minecart dropped through the top of the portal seems to have too much vertical velocity to be able to clear the End platform.

However, by knocking out another one of the End portal frames and sending the minecart through the side of the portal, the minecart is able to clear the End platform and land on a track just beside it:

This means that a continuous minecart track loop to shuttle materials From the End and the Overworld is possible!

Now I just have to build a track from the Overworld spawn to the End Portal. I'll probably route it through the Nether so as to reduce the necessary number of chunks to be loaded.

One mystery remains: Entities seem to exhibit a 90 degree rotation of their velocity vector when traversing the portal. The minecart is travelling westward when it enters the portal, but the track that it lands on is north of the End platform. The sand is pushed northwards, but lands on the east side of the platform. Anyone know why this is?
