by Qther

Gooder Rails changes where rail placements land on the server, porting better rail placements from MendedMinecarts for Fabric.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

Gooder Rails ports the improved rail placement behavior of MendedMinecarts to Fabric. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. A toggle lets server owners switch the feature on or off, and the setting can be applied per player and persists across restarts. Fabric API is required.

Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 with 1.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Improved rail placement

    Rails place in the arrangements ported from MendedMinecarts, changing how track pieces connect on the server.

  2. Per-player toggle

    Server owners can enable or disable the feature, and the choice can be set for each player individually.

  3. Settings persist

    The toggle state is saved, so it stays in effect after the server restarts.

How it compares

Meo's BetterRailPlacement also runs server-side only and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, but it targets 1.21.1 alone. Copper Rails is open source under the MIT License and needs both client and server, for 1.21.4 – 1.21.8.

What the author says

Port of the better rail placements from 2No2Name/MendedMinecarts to 1.21 in a server-side only environment. Use /gooderrails toggle to toggle whether you want to use the feature. This toggle is on a per-player basis and does not persist across restarts (sorry).
