Sporkcart
by joonbug
Sporkcart is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds track ties and redstone-controlled rail behavior to minecarts, forking Forkcart and Splinecart.
What it does
Track Ties are placed against a block face and set the route a minecart follows. A second tie can be placed at an appropriate orientation elsewhere, and vanilla rails connect to the first tie. Regular Ties behave as normal, Shuttle Ties reverse a powered push minecart, and Split Ties give two track outputs, switching between them with a redstone signal.
The mod draws on Splinecart and Forkcart, which it describes as its base, and adds its own bugfixes, quality-of-life changes and some tracks. Tie outputs are handled per direction, so a tie fed by a Magnetic or Station track needs a redstone signal, while a tie placed behind anything passes no output. Minecart noise can be muted by placing a wool block one to three blocks below the minecart, and the view can be guided during slow rides. Rotation is measured relative to the normal track orientation, and 360-degree turns are not supported.
Sporkcart requires Fabric API and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Its public source code, issue tracker and wiki are linked from its page.
Key features
Regular, shuttle and split ties
Three tie types cover normal routing, reversing powered minecarts, and switching between two track outputs.
Redstone-controlled split routing
A split tie changes between its two output paths when a redstone signal is applied.
Directional tie outputs
Ties only output in front, and a Magnetic or Station track needs a redstone signal to drive the tie.
Quiet minecarts
Placing a wool block one to three blocks underneath a minecart reduces the noise it makes.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who build minecart networks and want ties and redstone switching for routing on Fabric with Fabric API installed. Server owners can run it on a multiplayer server, since the environment is client and server.

What the author says
I love Splinecart by FoundationGames and Forkcart by ImplicitSaber adds some nice features too, but they don't work together which is annoying, so I thought, why not combine them! So that's what I did, it's all the normal Splinecart features with added bugfixes, QOL changes, and some Tracks and Ties from Forkcart, as…
