This datapack aims to solve that by providing a way to make your minecart tracks faster, witout affecting existing behavior for redstone contraptions and similar.<\/p>\n<p>The new mechanic added is that if you put gravel underneath powered rails it will speed up your minecart a bunch, and with two layers of gravel even more. This gives players a incentive to build out rail infrastructure in their worlds that actually makes sense to use.<\/p>\n<p>|   |   |   |<br \/>\n|&#8212;|&#8212;|&#8212;|<br \/>\n| normal minecarts | <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/dCr5v3Mh\/images\/42394b58db461eaea56ea676f0f9422cc7d98ebf.png\" width=\"40\"\/> | 8 m\/s |<br \/>\n| 1 layer of gravel | <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/dCr5v3Mh\/images\/537d977b81faf68702218e6f06b2937c8a6efdc2.png\" width=\"40\"\/> | 18 m\/s |<br \/>\n| 2 layers of gravel | <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/dCr5v3Mh\/images\/bc71b8708cad28d4c393c26b6301e56e9e5950eb.png\" width=\"40\"\/> | 28 m\/s |<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Makes minecarts a practical way to travel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":152278,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"tc-highspeedrail","_minecraft_project_id":"dCr5v3Mh","_minecraft_author":"taya","_minecraft_license":"LGPL-3.0-only","_minecraft_downloads":1183,"_minecraft_follows":26,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"tc-highspeedrail.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":633190,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T05:00:28.456978Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-08-15T08:51:52.239472Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2023-08-11T19:35:55.716179Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/tc-highspeedrail","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":152278,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T04:53:58+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"a858b4cc1818e04b5d6e1845202aeb4d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,89,869],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[36],"class_list":["post-152277","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-transportation","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-1-20-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
