About this Mod
DESCRIPTION
Adds Brake and Easier Pick-up of Minecart.
- While riding on a moving minecart, hold "SPACE" key to stop or brake.
- Holding "Shift + Right Click" will instantly pickup minecart.
ADDITIONAL
This mod also add 2 new rails.
- Always Powered Rail
Does not need redstone power, slightly faster than normal powered rails, this can curve, emits light. Leave at least 1 block of air space when curving or else minecart might get stuck. A little bug or feature? when braking a minecart while in a slope, instead of going down due to gravity, it will go backup.
- Lightning Rail
Warning! use this only on a flat straight ground, the cart will derail on curve and it will also fly off on slopes. If you want to curve, at least put some slower rails before turning. This has a config for changing speed, but i recommend leaving it as default. This rail is super fast! Also emits light.
Your support is very much appreciated 😊
Can I use this in my modpack?
- Yes, you may.
