What you need

• Iron Ingot×6
• Stone Pressure Plate×1
• Redstone×1

Worth knowing

• Needs a stone pressure plate in the middle, not a wooden one.
• Outputs a redstone signal while a minecart sits on top of it.
• A comparator beside it reads the contents of a passing hopper or chest minecart.
• The shape matters but its position does not — this works in any corner of the grid, as long as the arrangement is the same.
