Charset block carrying allowed the player to pick up any block and store it inside a minecart. I'd like to see a more tech focused version of this in More Minecarts.
Block loader:
This would take a block in the world and load it into an empty minecart. To work it must be pointed into a rail with a non-air block on the opposite side. When an empty minecart passes over the rail, the block is taken from the world and stored inside.
If several of the same type of block are connected, the loader will attempt to grab the farthest block first. This allows bulk block movement without a mess of pistons.
Block unloader:
This has opposite function. Blocks will be extracted from minecarts and deposited into the block space on the opposite side of the unloader. If there is already a block present, it will begin to build a cube shaped pile.
Example uses:
A challenging and realistic way to move blocks around in expert packs that restrict item movement
Pack devs could require certain ores be mine this way by increasing the mining level above diamond
Mass item movement using chests or barrels.
Unusual tree farm designs (it would be able to grab logs)
