High-Speed Rail

High-Speed Rail

• Do you think Ice Boats are ridiculous?
• Do you wish minecarts were a viable form of transportation?
• Do you want to push the new minecart physics to absurd limits?

Then this is the mod for you!

New Features! (as of version 0.12.0+1.21.3)

• Support has been added for the new experimental minecart physics.
• You can break the 1000 block-per-second limit on the minecartMaxSpeed gamerule!
• You can change acceleration and deceleration rates as well.
• Minecart behaviors can be set on a per-block basis.
• Building your tracks on diamond blocks? Go 25k bps!
• Force new minecart physics to be enabled in old worlds.
• Accurate speedometer with physics model at any speed.

Features

• Fast Minecarts. Why settle for 8 blocks-per-second? Go 40, 50, 60 bps or more!
• or enable the new Minecart physics and go thousands of blocks-per-second
• Fully customizable. Configure different speed boosts for different blocks.
• No derailing. Minecarts automatically reduce to normal speed on curves.
• Serverside-only. Clients do not need to install the mod.
• Vanilla-friendly. Does not add new blocks to your world.
• Optional minecart speedometer
• Optional nerf for ice boats (boats on ice move the same as on land)

Notes

• The speedometer and ice boat nerf can be turned off in the config file.
• I will not be doing a Forge port of High-Speed Rail.

Notes (for old minecart physics only)

• The speed-up does not work on any curved tracks, including ‘diagonal’ sections.
• Top speed is increased but not acceleration. Use more powered rails to go faster.
• Speed is capped at 78 blocks-per-minute.

Credits

• High-Speed Rail was inspired by this Reddit post
• And also Gravel Carts which is great mod that implements the same idea a bit differently
• Idea for disabling ice boats borrowed from Ice Boat Nerf
• Idea for speedometer borrowed from Speedometer
