Minecart Slash Speed
by Lawson_Hui
Minecart Slash Speed lets server operators set a custom speed on individual minecarts through slash commands, instead of one speed for every cart.
What it does
Commands target a minecart by its unique id or by an entity selector, so a single cart or a group can be set to a chosen speed in blocks per second. The vanilla default for a regular minecart is 8.0 blocks per second, and a custom speed can be removed to return a cart to that value. Custom speeds are stored with the world, so they survive server restarts and chunk unloads. The mod works with the vanilla minecart types.
The mod runs only on the server. Players connecting to a server that runs it do not need to install anything. Commands require operator level 2, which limits them to admins. Speed limits are set as a maximum for one or more carts, and the current custom speed of any cart can be queried.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, each with its own build directory. Files exist for 26.2 only, released under the MIT License and open source. To install it, place the JAR in the server's mods folder and start the server.
Key features
Per-minecart speed
Each minecart can carry its own speed, so different carts on the same track can run at different rates.
Entity selector targeting
Commands accept entity selectors, so one command can set the speed of several minecarts at once.
Persistent speeds
Custom speeds are kept across server restarts and chunk unloads, so carts keep their settings.
Speed limits and queries
Operators can set a maximum speed for carts, check the current custom speed, or remove it to restore the vanilla value of 8 blocks per second.

Use cases
Themed tracks
Map makers can give one route fast carts and another slow carts without changing the speed of the whole server.
Testing rail systems
Server admins can set specific speeds on a single cart to check how a rail layout handles different rates.
Who it’s for: Server owners and admins who want to control the speed of particular minecarts on their server, for transport networks, rides or adventure maps.
