Linkart

by constellation

Linkart lets players tie minecarts together with chains, so a child cart follows the cart it is linked to.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.21

What it does

Two carts are linked by holding Shift and right-clicking the parent cart, then Shift and right-clicking the child cart while holding chains. The child cart then trails its parent along the track. Since version 5.0.0 the cart movement has been rewritten for smoother motion, and the mod adds chunk loading and a linkart:linkers item tag. Linkart requires Fabric API and bundles Dark Matter. It runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric for game versions 1.16.5 – 1.21, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Chain linking

    Carts are joined with chains by sneaking and right-clicking the parent, then the child.

  2. Smoother cart movement

    The cart movement code was rewritten in version 5.0.0 to make linked carts move more smoothly.

  3. Chunk loading

    Linked carts can keep the chunks they travel through loaded.

What the author says

Since version 5.0.0, most of the mod has been rewritten to make the cart movement smoother. There are also additional features like chunkloading and linkart:linkers tag! Just get a bunch of chains and SHIFT + RMB on your “parent” cart, and then SHIFT + RMB again on your “child” cart. Now the child cart will follow…
