Better Minecarts

Overview

Better Minecarts makes riding minecarts feel more natural by automatically turning your camera to face the direction your minecart is moving. No more awkwardly staring at the wrong direction while zooming along tracks!

Features

  • Auto-rotating camera - Your view smoothly follows the minecart's movement direction
  • Works on all tracks - Handles turns, hills, and curves automatically
  • Pitch support - Camera tilts up when going uphill and down when going downhill
  • Smooth transitions - Camera movements are smoothed to avoid jittery motion

How to Use

  1. Install the mod by placing it in your mods folder
  2. Hop into any minecart and start riding
  3. Your camera will automatically face the direction you're moving!

That's it! There are no commands or keybindings to remember. The mod works automatically whenever you're in a minecart.

Tips & Tricks

  • The camera movement is smooth - if you want to look around, just move your mouse normally
  • Works great with complex rail systems that have lots of turns
  • Perfect for scenic rides where you want to see where you're going

Known Limitations

  • The camera only updates while the minecart is moving - if stopped, you can look around freely
  • Very fast minecarts may cause the camera to lag slightly behind due to smoothing
