About this Mod
Why fork of a fork?
Because both FX and EasterGhost doesn't maintain it's own repository any longer, and EasterGhost's added configuration doesn't actually work in-game, but this fork is fixing this issue.
Description
It is a simple mod that makes powered/activator rails turn on/off up to 4x faster. The best working condition is that you feel nothing when it is operating but smooth and fast rail updates. This mod is fork of EasterGhost's RailOptimization mod, which is actually fork of FXMorin's mod. Thanks to both of them for bringing this mod to us.
Before you download
Please allow me to convey my sincere gratitude towards FX Morin for his code! Most of the code are written by FX Morin and I just do some little adjustment to make it operating.
What's new
- An update of FX's RailOptimization for 1.21.x (fabric) and 26.1x (multiloader).
- Fix the severe crash when loading the mod.
- Lighter code implementation by removing architectury API.
Known issue
- Incompatible with any version of Carpet TIS Addition(CTA).
Reason
Method used to optimize the rail's performance is conflicted with CTA's update mechanism. CTA uses various methods to edit or avoid updates including rail's update(e.g. railDupingFix). Method conflicts will cause some unpredictable failure when injecting mixin and it's truly appeared.
