Cyan's Faster Minecarts
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.19–1.19.2 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Currently, I have no plans to update this mod (doesn't mean I won't in the future)
Possible alternative: Audaki Cart Engine (idk why links look like this)
Cyan's faster minecarts
TheMisterEpic's video on Elytras made me want to build a Minecart system for my world, but minecarts are too slow. So here is a mod that fixes that
SLEEP
I made this in a few hours, while sleep-deprived, so some big things may have slipped by
From my tests, everything seems to work as it should, and if that's not the case leave a comment ↓ or create an issue
