Change of Cart

## Overview This mod adds two major methods for improving the state of minecart rides, literally and metaphorically smoothing out the experience: ### Quieter Rides There are two ways to reduce the sound of a cart on the tracks: - Method 1: Sneak+click on a minecart with honeycomb to wax the cart. - Method 2: Placing rails on muffling blocks such as wool also reduces minecart noise. ### Reduced Friction When a minecart rolls on top of blocks such as gravel, it now moves with decreased friction. This can ease the demand for powered rails a little bit. - The inspiration for this is partly derived from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_ballast) in real life. Pretty neat! In addition, waxing a cart may allow for reduced friction. This is disabled in the config by default. ## Config You can configure the following: ### Client - Minecarts can be muffled via wax. (default: **true**) - Minecarts can be muffled by running along soft blocks like wool. (default: **true**) - The loudest a minecart can get, overall. **0.75** by default (vanilla loudness). - Percentage decrease for minecarts when muffled. 0.8 by default (aka 80% noise reduction). - Waxed minecarts on muffling blocks run in complete silence. (default: **false**) - In vanilla, minecarts are *much* louder for the rider (as opposed to bystanding players). This mod adds a few config values to counter this: - The rider quiet muffle multiplier adds a bonus noise reduction for the rider in particular, when the cart is muffled. **1.0** (aka disabled) by default - The rider quiet multiplier acts for all minecart riders, regardless of whether they're muffled or not. **0.8** (aka **20%** noise reduction overall) by default. ### Common The following must be integers, set from 1 to 10 (setting to 0 disables the feature): - The friction bonus multiplier for carts running on rail bedding. - The friction bonus multiplier for waxy carts. - If the sum of the two bonuses is greater than or equal to 10, then combining the two results in the greatest possible amount of friction reduction. Hence, setting either config value to 10 makes the other value redundant if both conditions are active. ### Block Tags There are two block tags, which can be altered via datapack: - `change_of_cart:minecart_mufflers` includes the blocks that muffle minecarts. - Includes any wool blocks by default. - `change_of_cart:rail_bedding` includes the blocks that reduce friction for minecarts. - Includes gravel by default. --- Credit for the concept goes entirely to Zym.
