Description

Better minecart rotation (Forge)

I suggest using Fabric. Fabric is more lightweight than Forge.

For Fabric:https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/minecart-direction-follow

 

version requirements:

1.12 - standalone (no other mods required)

1.15 - MixinBootstrap, Cloth

1.16+ Cloth

Installing GameMenuModOption is highly recommend in 1.15+.

 

The mod is client-side only.
On server it'll create a crash.

 

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

 

mod menu:

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.
