🚂 Better Furnace Minecarts
Better Furnace Minecarts transforms the often-ignored vanilla furnace minecart into a fully controllable, miniature steam locomotive. Stop throwing coal at a wooden box and start managing your rail system like a real engineer!
✨ Features
Custom GUI: No more accidental fueling! Right-click any furnace minecart to open its control panel and manage its internal inventory.
Parking Brake: Use the integrated Brake system to lock your minecart in place. Perfect for parking at stations or loading resources without the cart rolling away.
Directional Boost: Forget unpredictable movement. Face the direction you want to travel and hit the BOOST! button to launch your locomotive exactly where you need it to go.
Auto-Refuel System: The cart features a dedicated fuel slot. It will automatically "consume" coal or charcoal from its internal inventory as long as the brake is released.
Immersive Experience:
Visuals: A working furnace flame animation in the GUI shows you exactly when your engine is running.
Sound: Custom sound effects including steam hisses, fire crackling, and rhythmic rail-riding sounds for that authentic steam train vibe.
⚙️ Compatibility & Technicals
Fabric 1.20.1: Designed specifically for modern Fabric setups.
Multiplayer / Server Ready: Fully synchronized. Multiple players can view the GUI, see fuel levels, and hear the sounds simultaneously.
Modpack & Create Friendly:
The Shift-Bypass: Need to use a Create Mod Wrench or attach a Coupler? Simply Sneak (Shift) + Right-click to bypass the custom GUI and interact with the minecart using other mods' tools.
Physics: Works alongside other rail mods without crashing.
📖 How to use
- Place a Furnace Minecart on a rail.
- Right-click it to open the menu.
- Place Coal or Charcoal into the fuel slot.
- Toggle the Brake to "Ready".
- Look in your desired direction and press BOOST!.
- Optional: To use Create Mod couplings or wrenches, hold Shift while right-clicking.
🛠 Installation
- Make sure you have the Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed.
- Drop the .jar file into your mods folder.
- Enjoy your new locomotive!
