🚂 FEATURES

🔗 Linking mechanic

  • Use Iron or Copper Chains to attach minecarts together.
  • Unlike other mods, you can use all chain variants, and copper chains loosen with oxidation.
  • Sneak & right-click each cart to link them. The order doesn't matter in most interaction.
  • Furnace minecarts will always lead the train so they cannot be attached in the middle or the back.

♨️ Minecart with Blast Furnace

  • Replaces the vanilla item Minecart with Furnace.
  • New model, and GUI bar to show its amount of fuel.
  • The Furnace Minecart goes twice as fast as the other carts. Powered rails still apply to it.
  • Use any sort of fuel to power it. Use a water bucket/bottle to remove fuel instantly.
  • Particle and Sound effects to each interaction enhance the experience :)
  • Vanilla name and recipe are obviously correctly updated

🚧 Furnace Brake Mechanic

  • Right-click the Minecart with Blast Furnace without holding a fuel source will cause it to brake and stop even if it hasn't burned all its fuel!
  • Right-click a stopped Furnace cart to allow it to move again.

📦 Minecart with Hopper

  • Now transfers items to its parent cart, or child cart if the parent is not a storage cart
  • Fuel can be transfered to the Furnace cart!
  • Can be toggled off in config

💥 Collision

  • Minecarts at high speed deal knockback and damage. Drive through annoying mobs!
    ⠀(Can be toggled off in the config)
  • They scale with the amount of carts attached. A 7-cart train will kill most enemies.
  • Armour, enchantment and potions reduce collision damage
    A fast Minecart will break a stopped one on rail, no more annoying stops!
    ⠀(Can be toggled off in the config)
