Minecarts can smoothly turn gradual curves & slopes!
About this Mod
This mod requires Minecart Improvements to be [ON]
Features
This survival-friendly mod enhances Minecart movement so they can smoothly turn curves, non-45° diagonals and gradual inclines.
This mod is great for people who like to build realistic Minecart networks.
Here is a comparison between Vanilla and Smooth Minecarts
Compatibility
- May be incompatible with other mods that change Minecart physics.
- Doesn't add any new blocks or items (Vanilla rails only!)
- To restore Vanilla mechanics, just remove the mod!
Side Effects
- This mod makes curves and non-45° diagonals faster. (As fast as straight rails!)
- This mod may break farms that rely on Minecarts!
- This mod disables collisions while the Minecart is on-rail. Carts will NOT STOP against a block! This may be fixed in a future release.
