About this project
What does Vehicle Restored add?
MrCrayfish's Vehicle Mod, back in Minecraft 1.20.1.
The last version of MrCrayfish's Vehicle Mod was made for Minecraft 1.16.5. Vehicle Restored brings it to Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge), starting from its last release, 0.45.2, so you can drive, sail and fly its vehicles again in a current version of the game.
It also adds three vehicles from the unreleased development version of the mod: the sports car, the quad bike and the compact helicopter. And it works on its own: no Obfuscate, no Framework, no other library to install.
The collection
Cars
- Sports car, off roader, smart car and mini bus
- Golf cart, dune buggy, go-kart and bumper car
- Small, large and electric engines, up to five seats in the mini bus
Bikes and quads
- Dirt bike, mini bike and moped (place a chest on the moped to carry your things)
- ATV and quad bike for rough ground
- A lawn mower, and even a shopping cart
Water and sky
- Jet ski, speed boat and aluminum boat
- A sports plane with working flaps
- A compact helicopter
Farm and trailers
- A tractor
- Vehicle trailer, storage trailer and fluid trailer
- A seeder that plants seeds on farmland, and a fertilizer that uses bone meal
Getting started
- Craft the workstation (iron ingots, gold ingots and a crafting table).
- Pick a vehicle, put an engine and wheels in the slots, add a dye if you want a colour, and craft it.
- The vehicle comes in a crate: place it and right-click it to open it.
- Fill it with fuelium and drive away.
The workshop
- Engines in three types (small, large, electric) and four tiers: iron, gold, diamond and netherite. Better engines accelerate faster and go faster. Netherite engines are made in the smithing table.
- Wheels: standard, sports, racing, off-road, snow, all-terrain and plastic. Your speed depends on the wheels and on the ground you drive on: road, dirt and sand, or snow.
- Tools: put your vehicle on a jack to change its engine and wheels with the wrench, or to repair it with the hammer. Lock it with a key, and paint it with the spray can.
- Crouch and right-click a vehicle to pick it up and carry it.
Fuel
- Vehicles run on fuelium.
- The fluid extractor turns ender pearls into ender sap and blaze rods into blaze juice.
- The fluid mixer mixes them with glowstone dust to make fuelium.
- Refuel with a jerry can or the gas pump and its hose, store fuel in fuel drums, and move it with fluid pipes and pumps.
- Prefer to drive for free? Fuel can be turned off in the server config. Biodiesel from Immersive Engineering and diesel from Immersive Petroleum are accepted as fuel too.
Controls
- Forward / Back: accelerate, brake and reverse
- Left / Right: turn
- Jump: drift with land vehicles, raise the flaps of the plane, climb with the helicopter
- Sprint: lower the flaps of the plane, descend with the helicopter
- H: horn, C: change seat, Left Ctrl: hitch a trailer
The keys can be changed in Options > Controls > Vehicle Restored.
With Furniture Restored
Install Furniture Restored as well and three more vehicles appear, as in the 1.12.2 version of the mod:
- A sofa you can drive
- A bath that flies like a plane
- A sofacopter with ceiling fan blades
Furniture Restored is optional: Vehicle Restored works fine without it.
Also included
- Holding shift over a vehicle crate shows a turning 3D preview of the vehicle inside
- A speedometer and a fuel gauge while you drive
- The third person camera moves back for the large vehicles
- Traffic cones you can wear as a hat
- Fixes for bugs of the 1.16.5 version
Not included
Support for the Controllable gamepad mod, and the opening doors, hood and trunk of the sports car, are not part of this mod.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Forge 47.0.14 or later
- Optional: Furniture Restored 1.0 or later, for the sofa, the bath and the sofacopter
Important: worlds made with the original Vehicle Mod cannot be opened in 1.20.1, so your old vehicles do not carry over.
