[ST]Drive
With [ST]Drive, players can buy a car from a mechanic villager, drive it with friends, and keep it fueled on the road.
What it does
[ST]Drive adds drivable cars that are multiplayer-ready. A car is found inside a special structure that generates in villages, and a custom-built house with a garage holds it. The garage sits in a separate room where a mechanic villager works, and a new villager profession gives that trade. Players must buy an ignition key from the mechanic to gain access to a car, and the trade opens once he reaches the top level. A car is tied to the buyer once it is paid for. Refueling is needed to start the engine, and a car can be dragged around on a leash when heavily broken.
Customization covers paint and lighting. A spray can repaints a car, and underlights can be sprayed in many colors directly onto the car. Some car-related crafts and underlight recipes appear as dungeon loot and in the mod's recipe list. The mod fits near-vanilla survival endgame packs, where speed and damage numbers can grow large. It requires HammerAnimations and HammerLib, and it is built for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
