Revolutionize Your Rails

Tired of Minecarts feeling like a relic of the past? RailSpeed transforms your rail infrastructure into a true high-speed transit system. No more waiting minutes to travel between bases—get there in seconds with optimized, high-velocity Minecarts.

✨ Key Features

  • Increased Speed: Boosts the default Minecart speed.
  • Vanilla Compatible: Works with standard Power Rails. No custom blocks or complex machinery required.
  • Performance Friendly: Built using optimized functions to ensure zero impact on server TPS (Ticks Per Second).
  • Automatic Scaling: Safely handles corners and slopes to prevent "derailing" (jankiness) often found in older speed mods.

🚀 Why use this?

In the current meta, Elytras and Blue Ice highways dominate travel. This datapack brings the "Mine" back to Minecraft by making rail networks competitive again. It’s perfect for:

Large Scale Servers: Create a functional subway system for your community.

Early-Game Logistics: Move items and players quickly before you have an Elytra.

Aesthetic Builds: Finally use those beautiful rail designs for more than just decoration.

🛠️ How to Install

Download the .zip file.

Drop it into the datapacks folder of your world save.

In-game, type /reload.

(Optional) If the speed doesn't change automatically, use /gamerule minecartMaxSpeed [YourSpeed] to fine-tune your experience!

Compatibility

Version: Minecraft 1.20.x and above.

Multiplayer: Fully compatible with Fabric, Quilt, and Paper/Spigot servers.

Mod Compatibility: Works alongside most world-gen and utility mods.
