Karts

1.6.0

Important changes

• Karts (except the Wooden Kart) are no longer crafted at the crafting table. They are now built and upgraded at the new Workshop Lift. Parts like wheels and engines are still crafted normally.
• Dyeing is now done at the Workshop Lift too, not in the crafting grid.
• Netherite and End karts are now upgrades of a Diamond Kart, made at the lift (no more smithing table).

New: Workshop Lift

• A two-block-wide station with a post on each side. Drive in slowly (or stop next to it) and the kart is pulled to the center and lifted. You can also right-click it with a kart in hand to place it.
• Right-click the lift to open the workshop on the left of the screen, so you can see the kart while you work on it:
  • Build karts: pick a kart and, if you carry the parts, it is assembled right on the lift.
  • Wheels: fit 4 matching wheels in one click and get your old ones back.
  • Engine upgrades: Blaze and Netherite engines, mounted here. Blaze: better start and 25% longer turbos. Netherite: higher top speed and more weight.
  • Paint the kart (Standard, Forklift, Off-road and Submarine).
  • Repair it using its own material. Damage is kept when you pick a kart up.
  • See its stats, wheels and speed on each terrain.
• Engine Support: a red 2x2 workshop crane, placed next to the lift, where you craft the new engines. Anywhere else it works as decoration: hang any engine on it.
• Wheels and engines can be placed in the world as blocks with 3D models. Same wheels stack up to 4 per block.

New: Forklift Kart

• The Standard Kart's performance with the weight of a Netherite Kart. It picks up empty karts at low speed by the side and carries them on its forks.

New: tyres

• Road tyres (the normal ones), Off-road tyres and Studded tyres (craft a kart wheel with 4 iron nuggets). Each one changes your grip on asphalt, loose dirt, snow and ice.
• Wheels kick up dust on dirt, sand, gravel and snow.

New: camera

• The view turns with the kart and recenters by itself.
• In third person (F5), a chase camera follows the kart and opens up in drifts.
• The view widens with speed and turbos, and shakes on landings and crashes.
• Hold R to look behind.

Improvements

• Netherite Kart: lava is now solid ground for it, with no bumps at the edges and no sinking in narrow channels. The driver is immune to fire and lava damage.
• Improved Kart model and new 3D models for kart icons in the inventory and in your hand, and a creative tab for the mod.
