📋 About This Mod

## About **UsefulCarts** adds a whole family of carts — hauled by you on foot or drawn by a horse, donkey, or mule — for getting around, moving your goods, and working your fields. > ⚠️ **This is an unofficial port.** UsefulCarts is a version port of **NiftyCarts** (by jmb05, itself a Fabric port of **AstikorCarts** by MennoMax) to Minecraft **26.2** and **26.1.2**. I did not create the mod — all of the original code and art belong to their authors; I've only updated it to run on the newest Minecraft.
