Kinetic Minecart Mod increases damage dealt by moving minecarts based on their velocity. Fast-moving carts turn into dangerous hazards that launch and crush mobs along track lines. The mod calculates collision damage directly from movement speed, meaning higher velocities hit much harder. It lets you construct deadly railway defenses and easily run down monsters on tracks.

Features:
- Minecarts deal higher impact damage to mobs as their movement speed increases.
- Speeds at or above 6 deal damage equal to velocity cubed for massive hits.
- Speeds between 2 and 6 inflict damage equal to velocity squared.
- Targets already riding inside a vehicle take direct damage equal to the cart speed.
- Minecarts moving at or below speed 2 deal zero impact damage.
- Entities hit by a cart get knocked back a distance matching the cart speed.
- Offers configurable collision modes to switch between direct contact and radius detection.
- Includes customizable entity exclusion lists to protect pets, players, or named mobs.
