momentum for Automobility
by milkucha
momentum for Automobility changes how cars keep speed, brake and steer on Fabric, as an add-on to the Automobility mod.
What it does
The add-on tunes the movement logic of Automobility while leaving the vanilla game intact. Cars can be given a higher speed cap, reaching about 130 km/h, and a configurable acceleration curve. After the accelerator is released, a car keeps its momentum for longer. At higher speeds the steering grows heavier, and brakes are applied more gently in stages.
Three handling profiles are included: Automobility's Vanilla Drift, Arcade Drift and a quick sideslip profile that is meant to be precise. Sharp curves can be taken by braking and drifting. Parameters can be changed in the config file, or through an options menu when Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are installed. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, and the latest file is 0.1.5-1.21 for 1.21.1, in the beta channel. Client and server both need it, as the environment is client and server.
Automobility must be installed, and Fabric API is required as well. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional and add a settings screen.
Key features
Higher speed cap
Cars can run up to about 130 km/h, above the limit of the base vehicles.
Adjustable acceleration curve
The rate at which a car gains speed can be shaped through the config file.
Momentum after release
Cars keep moving for longer after the accelerator is released, which changes how coasting feels.
Handling profiles
Three profiles, Automobility's Vanilla Drift, Arcade Drift and a quick sideslip setting, change how the car drifts.
Staged braking and steering
Brakes ease in gradually, and steering becomes harder at higher speeds.

A fully configurable add-on for Automobility to improve the mod’s movement logic. Makes the driving experience more immersive while still keeping it vanilla! All parameters can be tweaked and/or toggled via the config file or the options menu (if ModMenu and YACL are available)
