Choo Choo Tweaks
by snowylol_
Choo Choo Tweaks lets server owners and players set custom speeds for each type of minecart, applied per world.
What it does
Choo Choo Tweaks is a Fabric mod that changes how fast minecarts travel, with separate speed settings for empty minecarts and for minecarts carrying a player. Each world keeps its own speed configuration, stored in a speeds.json file inside the world save, and the file is created and managed by the mod. Speeds can be changed in-game through commands, and the changes take effect immediately without a restart, so a railway can be tuned while it runs.
Changing speeds is limited to operators, which keeps the settings safe on multiplayer servers. Every change made by an operator is saved automatically to the world's file. The mod targets Minecraft 1.21.7 only, with the latest Fabric file, version 2.1.0, published on 2025-08-19. It is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for source code and an issue tracker. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it is meant to run on client and server alike.
Key features
Speeds per minecart type
Empty minecarts and minecarts carrying a player can each be given a separate speed, so routes can be tuned individually.
Command-based settings
A minecartspeed command sets the speeds, letting operators adjust a railway without editing any file.
Per-world configuration
Each world stores its own speed settings, so different worlds on the same installation can run different rail speeds.
Immediate changes
New speeds apply as soon as they are set, with no restart needed while trains are running.

How it compares
MinecartSpeedDisplay is a Fabric client-side only mod under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, released for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it changes nothing on the server. Minecart Trains is a Fabric client and server mod for 1.21.7 – 1.21.8 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, covering the same version as Choo Choo Tweaks but adding a different train feature set. MinecartSpeedUnlimiter is server-side only under the MIT License, for 1.21.2 – 1.21.3, so players join without installing it.
