Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.16.2–1.16.5
Minecraft 1.16.1

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.19.2 ⬇ Download for 1.16.2–1.16.5 ⬇ Download for 1.16.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

For Forge:https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/better-minecart-rotation-forge

To be able to use this mod, you have to have Fabric-loader and Fabric-api installed.

The latest version requires the latest Fabric loader and API

The mod is client-side only.

When you turn with minecart, but you still look to the last direction and you want to change this, this mod is for you.

Usage:

F7 - toggle mod -you can reconfigure the key in the control menu

modmenu:

smooth mode - makes the rotation smooth

smart mode - the minecart's rotation is unreliable, I'm calculating from the speed. It's trying to find out when the minecart crashes into a wall/entity or just makes an u-turn.
It has a threshold - you can try to change its value.

roller-coaster mode - makes you see forward. Good for roller-coasters, don't recommend for anything else.
