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.
