Rethrottle

Description
ReThrottle is a simple and quick port of the mod Throttle for Forge 1.20.1 with the sole purpose of rebalancing and improving minecarts in a vanilla-friendly manner. It does that by increasing the speed cap from 8 m/s to 16 m/s and making it fully customizeable for pack creators.
In addition to that, it also makes minecarts with furnace usable, also increasing their cap from 4m/s to 16m/s, allowing them to push other carts without lagging behind.
Configuration
The top speed can also be customized from 16m/s to any value greater than zero in the server configurations in a file called throttle-server.toml. To apply it for every world, put it inside the defaultconfigs folder. The default config file should look like this:
#The minecart speed cap in m/s. In vanilla value is 8.0 m/s.
#Range: 0.0 ~ 1.7976931348623157E308
maxSpeed = 24.0
If you're using Sinytra Connector, I recommend using this version of the mod Linkart, as it makes trains possible with furnace minecarts, and Forgery to make further tweaks (like alloweing funace minecarts to accept any fuel).
