Simple cars mod (Forge 1.20.1)
- Added a vanilla-styled rideable car entity with a dedicated
Simple Carscreative tab. Use theWorkshop Caritem to place a car on solid ground and right-click to hop in. - The car drives on land with steering on
A/Dand forward/back onW/S, using light friction and gravity so it feels grounded but nimble. - Upgrades: apply Engine, Wheel, or Handling items directly to a placed car (sneaking not required). Each type has three levels and improves acceleration/top speed, traction, or turn rate respectively. The car feeds back with sounds and chat hints when upgrades are applied or maxed.
- Damage: attacking the car will eventually break it and drop the car item so you can relocate it without losing upgrades.
- Rendering: the car is rendered from block parts for a simple vanilla look; no extra textures or models are needed beyond the included item icons.
Known notes / limits:
- Only one rider is supported; there is no passenger seat yet.
- Physics are intentionally lightweight (no fuel, drifting, or suspension) to keep behavior predictable without extra controls.
