About this Mod

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

High-Speed Rail server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is High-Speed Rail compatible with fabric and neoforge?

High-Speed Rail officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with High-Speed Rail – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if High-Speed Rail consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
