Speed Carts

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17–1.19. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

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 1.19Newest
Minecraft 1.18
Minecraft 1.17.1

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.

Speed Carts - Enhanced Minecart Travel

Original design and implementation by Pleezon.

By default, minecarts travel at exactly 8 meters per second. This is too slow for minecarts to be a competitive alternative to other, lazier forms of travel like the Elytra or nether portals. This mod hopes to introduce some needed balance for that!

Just add a sign beside the rail, whose first line contains a number indicating the speed that passing minecarts should have, in meters per second. Do be aware that moving faster than 8 meters per second while turning or going up or down on an incline will result in derailing, and probably your own death if you're not careful.

This mod can be installed in singleplayer, or as a server-side-only mod which still allows vanilla clients to connect.
