Flash Carts Enhanced

Minecarts are arguably the best transport in Minecraft, but they can be better

About

Requires Fabric API

The primary goal of this mod is to make minecarts better without breaking your Redstone.

New Minecart Physics

To make Minecarts faster, Flash Carts uses Minecrafts experimental physics.
These experimental physics allow for a lot higher speeds, but do often break redstone contraptions. Because of this, the mod only applies the new physics where you would benefit from the higher speeds.

By default, the new physics are applied to normal and TNT minecarts, but not to chest, furnace, or hopper minecarts.

Alternatively, you can enable the Express Minecart crafting recipe in the config file. They are crafted using one redstone torch and any regular minecart, and always have experimental physics enabled. You can then disable experimental physics for regular minecarts.

Smart Halting

Slowing down minecarts can become inconsistent pretty quickly with the speeds made possible by this mod. To account for this, it also adds 'smart halting' which will intelligently stop a cart at the end of a line of unpowered rails or at the top of a unpowered slope.

Building tools

To make building of minecart tracks easier, Flash Carts adds selection placing inspired by the Create mod.

To start, right-click a rail block with a rail in your hand, and a preview of the rail will appear in front of you. You can then place the rail by right-clicking again.

For people who want a more vanilla experience, Flash Carts also adds an 'extend' build mode which can be enabled in the config.

Speed HUD

To make sure you use the new maximum speeds to their full potential, a speedometer and speedbar show up when you are in a minecart.

Station Titles

To make Minecarts more convenient to create transport networks, a station can show its name when you are standing still on top of it.

To set a station's name, place a sign under the block where a Minecart stands still, and write the station name on the first line of the sign. Any extra lines on the sign will be combined into the subtitle under the station name.

Rail recipes

To make building railways a bit more do-able early game, Flash Carts adds some alternative recipes for rails like being able to use Copper instead of Gold for Powered Rails.

Configuration

Use /flashcarts config to open the configuration screen in-game.

In addition, you can also open the configuration screen via the Mod Menu, but only if you are in a singleplayer world with cheats enabled or on a server where you have operator permissions.

If you have directly edited the configuration file, to load changes to the config file, you can use the vanilla /reload command.
