📋 About This Mod
This mod affects the effective mass of carts, allowing them to seem lighter when there are other players nearby to help push.
You can set the following in the config file:
-
[]Maximum player distance from the cart to allow support (default 5m)
[
]Maximum number of players to allow to support (default 4)[]The fraction of the weight to reduce per supporting player (default 0. 2)
[]Whether to include the puller as a supporter (default false)
So, as an example, for a mass of 280 with 3 players near the cart besides the puller, with the default settings the effective mass would be:
280 - 280 0. 2 3 = 112
