FastMinecarts
Simple plugin for Paper servers that changes the speed of minecarts depending on the block beneath the rails.
I haven't tested on Spigot... might work.
Features
- Configure which blocks affect speed.
- Choose the minecart speed for each block.
- Slow minecarts back to vanilla speed when player disembarks.
Installation
To install FastMinecarts, follow these steps:
- Download the plugin JAR file from Modrinth or the Releases page.
- Place the JAR file in the plugins folder of your Paper (or Paper fork) server.
- Start the server and verify that the plugin loaded successfully.

The plugin can be configured via the config.yml file located in plugins/FastMinecarts.
The following configuration options are available:
