About this project

What does Karts add?

Karts

Karts

Craft, place and drive karts in Minecraft. Hold Space while turning to drift, then release for a mini-turbo. Eight karts, each with its own handling and its own engine sound.

Heads up: Karts is a new mod and it's getting updates almost every day, so expect changes, new features and the odd bug. Feedback is very welcome: tell me what you like, what feels off, what you'd add. Every opinion helps. Thanks for trying it out!

The karts

Kart Style
Wooden Cheap starter built from oak planks and logs. Slow and fragile, turns well, burns easily. 3-cylinder engine.
Standard Iron-tier, balanced. Turbo 4 engine.
Golden Better acceleration and drifting, 2-level mini-turbo. Light and fragile. Piglins won't attack you.
Off-road Heavy, with a V8 engine. Climbs 1.5-block steps and ignores sand, gravel, snow, mud and soul sand. Slower to accelerate and turn on asphalt, but off the road it accelerates like the Standard Kart.
Diamond The fastest of the base karts, with a 3-level mini-turbo (blue, orange, purple) and a race engine.
Netherite Upgrade of the Diamond Kart at the smithing table. Toughest kart, fireproof, drives on lava at half speed without setting the driver on fire.
End Upgrade of the Diamond Kart with elytra. Light and fast. On long jumps it glides and gains speed, and its air-trick turbo grows with the time spent in the air. In the End dimension it flies freely toward where you look.
Submarine Armored yellow hull with a glass cockpit. Moves in 3D underwater toward where you look. The driver breathes and sees in the dark. Electric motor. Very slow on land, can't drift.

Features

  • Craftable parts: wheels, engines and a propeller, all made at the crafting table.
  • Dyeable: the Standard, Off-road and Submarine karts can be dyed. Put the kart in the crafting grid with one or more dyes and the colors mix like leather armor. In Creative there are 9 ready-made colors. The other karts use the texture of their material. Karts keep their color and name when picked up.
  • Drifting and mini-turbos: at good speed, hold Space while turning. The drift holds a gentle curve by itself: steer inward to tighten it, outward to open it. When blue sparks appear, release for a boost. Diamond, Netherite and End karts keep charging for longer boosts.
  • Launch control: while stopped, hold W and press Space to rev. Release Space for a launch. Release when flames come out of the exhaust for a perfect start, but wait too long and the engine stalls.
  • Air trick: when you jump off a ledge or ramp, press Space in the air. Land on solid ground and you get a turbo (blue, or orange after a long jump). It doesn't count if you land in water.
  • Slipstream: drive close behind another moving kart (up to 8 blocks) and you'll see the wind at the sides. When the bar fills up you get a turbo.
  • Headlights: press H while driving to turn them on or off (the key can be changed in Controls). They really light up what's ahead of you, fade in as you start, and get stronger on better karts. The Wooden Kart has none.
  • On-screen display (bottom right): speed in km/h, drift charge with a mark for each turbo level, the turbo as it runs out, and your launch control at the start line (yellow = soon, green = perfect, red = too late).
  • Terrain: sand, gravel, snow, mud and clay slow every kart to 70% speed, except the Off-road Kart.
  • Collisions: karts bounce off each other based on weight and speed. They push mobs and players on foot, and mobs take damage above ~7 blocks/s.
  • Sound: every kart has its own engine (3-cylinder, turbo 4, race, V8, electric) with a pitch that follows the revs. Start-up, exhaust backfire, turbo-ready chime, turbo blow-off, tyre screech, gravel skid, landings and crashes.
  • Auto step-up: drives up 1-block heights.
