Do a Minecart Roll
by RacoonMCnew
Do a Minecart Roll changes the first-person camera while a player rides a minecart, banking it through curves on the client side.
What it does
The camera leans into each rail curve as the minecart turns, and sharp corners are interpolated so the motion stays smooth instead of snapping. Higher speeds make the movement more pronounced, while a small vibration at speed and a softer camera during brief airborne moments add kinetic feedback without heavy screen shake.
The mod is purely visual. Minecart physics, speed, rails and server behavior stay untouched, since the mod only alters what the client displays, so a player can install it without anything on the server. Only the client needs it, and servers run without it. It requires Java 21 and is published for Fabric only, in builds for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Camera banking on curves
The first-person view tilts gently when the minecart takes a curve, giving a sense of the turn.
Smoothed sharp corners
Interpolation softens abrupt direction changes on rail corners so they do not feel stiff.
Subtle speed feedback
A minimal vibration builds with speed, and a brief airborne moment on jumps is camera-smoothed.
