About this Mod
🎢 Minecart Camera Center
Tired of manually adjusting your view on long rail journeys?
Minecart Camera Center is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod that makes your minecart travels more immersive and relaxing. It automatically aligns your camera with the direction of the tracks, giving you a smooth, cinematic experience.
✨ Key Features
🎯 Smart Auto-Centering
If you stop moving your mouse for 1.5 seconds while riding a minecart, the mod gently rotates your camera to face exactly where you're heading.🛤️ Advanced Diagonal Rail Support
Most diagonal rails in Minecraft cause a "jittery" movement. This mod uses a trajectory history buffer to calculate the true path, ensuring a perfectly stable view even on zigzag tracks.⛰️ Full Vertical Support
The camera automatically adjusts its pitch to follow the incline of the rails. You'll always see the track ahead, whether you're climbing a mountain or diving into a ravine.⌨️ Manual Override
The moment you move your mouse, the auto-centering stops instantly. You always have full priority and control.
⚙️ Why use this mod?
Minecraft's default minecart riding can feel static and disconnected. By centering the camera, you get a much better sense of speed and direction. It’s perfect for:
- Scenic Tours: Showcasing your world via rail networks.
- Quality of Life: Relaxing during long-distance travels between bases.
- Immersion: Makes minecart rides feel like a polished theme park attraction.
🛠️ Compatibility
- Client-Side Only: This mod is 100% client-side.
- Vanilla Friendly: You can use this on any Vanilla Server, Realm, or Modded Server (Spigot/Paper/Fabric) without issues.
- Requirements: Requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API for 1.20.1.
