High-Speed Rail

Do you think Ice Boats are ridiculous? Do you wish minecarts were a viable form of transportation? Then this is the mod for you!

Just build your rails on gravel blocks and your minecarts will go the same speed as ice boats.

Features

Fast Minecarts. Why settle for 8 blocks-per-second? Go 40, 50, 60 bps or more!
Fully customizable. Configure different speed boosts for different blocks.
No derailing. Minecarts automatically reduce to normal speed on curves.
Serverside-only. Clients do not need to install the mod.
Vanilla-friendly. Does not add new blocks to your world.
Optional minecart speedometer
Optional nerf for ice boats (boats on ice move the same as on land)

The speed-up does not work on any curved tracks, including 'diagonal' sections.
Top speed is increased but not acceleration. Use more powered rails to go faster.
Speed is capped at 78 blocks-per-minute.
The speedometer and ice boat nerf can be turned off in the config file.
I will not be doing a Forge port of High-Speed Rail.

High-Speed Rail was inspired by this Reddit post
And also Gravel Carts which is great mod that implements the same idea a bit differently
Idea for disabling ice boats borrowed from Ice Boat Nerf
Idea for speedometer borrowed from Speedometer
