MinecartMaxSpeed Attribute
by NoEul
MinecartMaxSpeed Attribute lets a server owner set the top speed of each minecart separately, through an attribute applied to the cart.
What it does
The mod adds a maxSpeed attribute to minecarts. A gamerule sets the entire cart's maximum speed, while an individual minecart can be given its own value. The attribute's base value is 8, and it can be set between 1 and 1000, which lets carts run faster than vanilla limits allow.
Minecarts of every typed entity are covered, so a server can tune chests, furnaces, hoppers and plain carts alike. Fabric Loader is required, and the mod is a Fabric-only build for 1.21.2, released under the MIT License as open source. Client and server both need it, so players and the server must install the same file. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that adds a settings screen for the mod.
Key features
Per-minecart max speed
Each minecart can carry its own max speed value, so one cart can be made faster than the others on the same track.
Gamerule for all carts
A single gamerule sets the maximum speed of every minecart in the world at once.
Attribute range
The attribute accepts values from 1 to 1000, with 8 as the vanilla-equivalent base value.
Typed minecart support
The attribute applies to every typed minecart entity, not only the plain cart.
Compatibility

Use cases
Faster transit on a server
A server owner can raise the speed of a rail network without changing the cart types players already use.
Single fast cart on a track
A builder can give one cart a higher speed for a race or a delivery route while others keep the default.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who want to control minecart speed, either for the whole world or for individual carts.
How it compares
Per Minecart Max Speed Customiser is also a Fabric mod for 1.21.2 – 26.2 and shares the client and server environment, but it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, while this mod is MIT licensed. MinecartSpeedDisplay runs on the client alone for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and only shows speed, so it does not change cart behaviour. Minecart Speed Changer is server-side only for 26.2 and is not open source, so it cannot be compared on license.
