Minecart-Visualizer
by Abelian_2E47
Minecart-Visualizer lets players watch the items moving through minecarts, with an overlay above each cart and chat alerts for inventory changes and destroyed carts.
What it does
The mod shows a text overlay above minecarts, which can be toggled on and off. Players can also be told when items enter or leave a minecart, and when a cart is lost from the world. Chat notifications for items can be limited with a whitelist, and an item blacklist keeps selected items out of the tracker.
A throughput tracker counts the items that pass through minecarts over a chosen period, with separate tracker colors for each one. This gives a rate of items per hour, which is useful when sorting systems and farms are being measured. Settings are opened from a configuration screen that requires YetAnotherConfigLib.
Minecart-Visualizer is published for Fabric only, across 14 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Minecart text overlay
A toggleable text display appears above each minecart and shows the items it holds.

Players are notified whenever items are added to or removed from a minecart.
Destruction alerts
A notice is sent as soon as a cart is lost from the world, whether it was broken or cleared.
Item whitelist and blacklist
Only whitelisted items trigger chat notifications, and blacklisted items are ignored by the tracker.
Throughput tracker

How it compares
Hopper Lock Visualizer is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.21.11, licensed under the MIT License and not open source; it covers hoppers rather than minecarts. Minecart Splitting is a Fabric and Quilt server-side only mod for 1.20.1 – 26.2, open source under the MIT License, so players join without installing it. CartUpgrader is an open source Fabric mod for 1.16.5 where either side can run it and neither needs it, and it does not cover the 26.2 release.
