Minecart Speed
by JoraSH10
Minecart Speed lets server operators change how fast minecarts travel on rails, using a command.
What it does
A server operator sets the minecart speed multiplier with a command, and the change applies globally to all minecarts. Carts use the current multiplier until it is changed again, and returning to the vanilla value restores default rail travel. Only the server side needs the mod; players join without installing anything.
Key features
Speed command
An operator-only command sets the speed multiplier for minecarts.
Global effect
The chosen multiplier applies to every minecart on the server at once.
Reset to vanilla
Setting the value back restores the default vanilla minecart speed.

Minecart HUD is a Fabric client-side mod that shows minecart information on screen and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Rail Recipe Rebalance works on all four loaders for 1.15 – 26.2 and is released under the MIT License, but it needs the server and is not open source.

What the author says
With this mod, operators can increase minecart top speed for faster rail travel or reset it back to vanilla behavior at any time. The change is applied globally, so all minecarts use the current speed multiplier until it is changed again.
