Better Minecarts

Overview

Better Minecarts makes riding minecarts feel smoother and more immersive! When you're in a minecart, your camera automatically rotates to follow the direction of the rail track - not the minecart itself. This means curves and hills feel much more natural.

Features

  • Camera follows the rail direction automatically
  • Smooth rotation when rails turn left or right
  • Camera tilts up when going uphill and down when going downhill
  • Works with all rail types including curved and ascending tracks

How to Use

  1. Install the mod by placing it in your mods folder
  2. Hop into any minecart as you normally would
  3. That's it! Your camera will now follow the rail direction automatically

Tips & Tricks

  • Great for scenic railway tours - look where the track is taking you!
  • Works best on well-built rail networks with proper curves
  • The camera smoothly transitions, so it won't feel jarring

Known Limitations

  • Camera rotation is based on rail shape, not the minecart's actual movement speed
  • Very tight turns might feel slightly different than expected
