# High-Speed Rail<\/p>\n
* Do you think Ice Boats are ridiculous?
\n* Do you wish minecarts were a viable form of transportation?
\n* Do you want to push the new minecart physics to absurd limits?<\/p>\n
Then this is the mod for you!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## New Features! (as of version `0.12.0+1.21.3`)
\n* Support has been added for the new experimental minecart physics.
\n* You can break the 1000 block-per-second limit on the `minecartMaxSpeed` gamerule!
\n* You can change acceleration and deceleration rates as well.
\n* Minecart behaviors can be set on a per-block basis.
\n * Building your tracks on diamond blocks? Go 25k bps!
\n* Force new minecart physics to be enabled in old worlds.
\n* Accurate speedometer with physics model at any speed.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
* **Fast Minecarts.** Why settle for 8 blocks-per-second? Go 40, 50, 60 bps or more!
\n * or enable the new Minecart physics and go thousands of blocks-per-second
\n* **Fully customizable.** Configure different speed boosts for different blocks.
\n* **No derailing.** Minecarts automatically reduce to normal speed on curves.
\n* **Serverside-only.** Clients do not need to install the mod.
\n* **Vanilla-friendly.** Does not add new blocks to your world.
\n* Optional minecart speedometer
\n* Optional nerf for ice boats (boats on ice move the same as on land)<\/p>\n
## Notes<\/p>\n
* The speedometer and ice boat nerf can be turned off in the config file.
\n* I will not be doing a Forge port of High-Speed Rail.<\/p>\n
## Notes (for old minecart physics only)<\/p>\n
* The speed-up does not work on *any* curved tracks, including ‘diagonal’ sections.
\n* Top speed is increased but not acceleration. Use more powered rails to go faster.
\n* Speed is capped at 78 blocks-per-minute.<\/p>\n
## Credits<\/p>\n
* High-Speed Rail was inspired by this Reddit post
\n* And also Gravel Carts which is great mod that implements the same idea a bit differently
\n* Idea for disabling ice boats borrowed from Ice Boat Nerf
\n* Idea for speedometer borrowed from Speedometer<\/p>\n
