Deadly Minecarts
by JoraSH10
Deadly Minecarts turns high-speed minecart impacts into real damage, so a fast cart can injure or kill mobs and players it hits.
What it does
When a minecart moving at high speed strikes a living entity, the impact deals damage that grows with speed. Carts that move slowly still act as ordinary vehicles, and only fast collisions cause serious injury. A rail turning sharply can also send a cart into a target, so track layout becomes part of the hazard. The mod is built for servers and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 39 release versions, 1.14.4 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Speed-based impact damage
A minecart hitting a living entity deals damage that depends on how fast it is moving at the moment of impact.
Lethal high-speed collisions
A cart moving fast enough can wound or destroy the mobs and other targets it strikes along its route.
Rail-based hazards
Sharp rail turns can throw a fast cart into nearby entities, which makes route design matter.

What the author says
When a minecart hits living entities at speed, it deals impact damage. At high enough speed, minecarts can seriously injure or kill mobs and other targets, turning rail lines into real hazards. It is simple, brutal, and server-friendly.
