What does the mod do?
In vanilla, powered rails accelerate minecarts going over them by 0.06 m/tick2 (24 m/s2).
This mod simply increases that acceleration to 0.24 m/tick (96 m/s2).
The acceleration is currently not configureable through a file... because I'm actually not that good at modding and don't know how to do that. The source code is extremely easy to modify and compile if you wish to though. If you don't know how to do this open an issue on Github and I'll help you out.
The mod is intended for use with the Experimental Minecart Changes but nonetheless works with default minecart behaviour. If you want me to make the mod work on lower minecraft versions (because I developed it overnight for a server with my friends) open an issue on Github and I'll do what I can.
