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

  • 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.)

ExclusionList

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: [
      "minecraft:creeper",
      "minecraft:cat",
      "minecraft:fox",
      "minecraft:pig",
      "minecraft:wolf",
      "minecraft:zombie"
    ]
    Default: []
