by haykam

What it does

Two parallel rails with minecarts placed side by side make the carts start moving together, so each one gives the other a push. The effect restores a mechanic from the early beta releases of Minecraft. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing it. Cart Boosts requires Fabric and is published for 1.14 – 1.20.6, with the latest file, 1.0.1, released on 2024-01-22 for 1.20.6. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Parallel track boosting

    Minecarts on two side-by-side rails start moving together and boost one another.

  2. Beta-style mechanic

    The behavior matches minecart boosting from earlier beta versions of the game.

  3. Simple setup

    Only the server needs the mod, so the setup is a single installation in the mods folder.
