Features
- The damage dealt by minecarts is related to their Speed:
Speed >= 6 -> Damage = Speed cubed;
Speed > 2 and < 6 -> Damage = Speed squared;
Target has Vehicle -> Damage = Speed;
Speed <= 2 -> Damage = 0;
After being hit by a minecart, the entity is propelled approximately the same distance as its speed.
It offers custom configuration options, including customizing the collision effects of the minecart.
Configuration
Configuration files that will be generated after installing Cloth Config API:
.../config/kinetic-minecart.json
Singleplayer Mode



- You can edit the exclusion list, click on an item to name or delete it, and the inspection tool will attempt to proofread your input. (Sometimes, when you create a new item, the new text box may not appear; you may see an empty one, but this does not affect selection or input.)

Multiplayer Mode
- In Multiplayer Mode, you Cannot change the configuration via the menu; instead, the server administrator needs to modify the 'kinetic-minecart.json' file. Below is an example:
kinetic-minecart.json
[enabled] Value: true/false, Default: true
[selectedApplicaionMode] Value: "Collide"/"Radius", Default: "Collide"
[intRadius] Range: 3 - 10, Default: 5
[enabledDamage] Value: true/false, Default: true
[selectedDamageMode] Value: "TieredDamage"/"DirectlyKill", Default: "TieredDamage"
[enabledKnock] Value: true/false, Default: true
[excludePlayer] Value: true/false, Default: false
[excludePet] Value: true/false, Default: false
[excludePassenger] Value: true/false, Default: true
[excludeNamedEntity] Value: true/false, Default: false
[excludeItemEntity] Value: true/false, Default: false
[enabledExclusionList] Value: true/false, Default: false
[exclusionList]
Value: [
"<Namespace>:<Path>",
"<Namespace>:<Path>",
...
"<Namespace>:<Path>"
]
Example: [
