🚂 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 config)
