A wooden cart you pull behind you to carry more. A port of MC+ mod from 1.7.10 originally built by andykuo1

Pull Cart + Loom Ported

A wooden cart you pull behind you by hand. Load a chest, a furnace or a small animal onto it and walk — no rails, no minecart, no track to lay first.

Five carts carrying a crafting table, a burning furnace, a chest, a playing jukebox and a pig

This is a port, not my mod. The cart, the wheel and the loom are MC+ Cart, MC+ Wheel and MC+ Loom by andykuo1, written for Minecraft 1.7.10. The original source is at github.com/andykuo1/mcplus-mods under the GPL-2.0, and this port is GPL-2.0 for that reason. The model geometry and the textures are andykuo1's.

The cart

Do	What happens
Right-click a surface block with the Wooden Cart	Sets the cart down, facing the way you look
Right-click the cart	You pull it — it follows you and climbs one-block steps; again to let go
Pull it while riding a horse	The horse pulls it
Right-click holding a chest, crafting table, ender chest, furnace or jukebox	Loads that block onto the cart
Shift + right-click the cart	Uses the loaded block: a 27-slot chest, a crafting grid, your ender chest, a furnace that keeps smelting while you travel, or a jukebox
Right-click while leading a small animal	Puts the animal in — anything taller than 1.5 blocks does not fit, and the cart has to be empty
Hit it a few times	Breaks it the way a minecart or a boat breaks: the cart, the block on it and everything that block held drop on the ground
Shift + hit it	Takes the loaded block off — the block itself drops empty and what it held falls out beside it

The cart lets go when it falls more than 6 blocks behind, and it breaks under water — both as the original did. While a jukebox on it is playing, it stays put.

Any chest or crafting table works, TerraFirmaCraft's wooden ones included.

Crafting

Everything is confugured using datapacks.

Wooden Wheel — 8 sticks around a slime ball (TFC glue works too)
Wooden Cart — planks in a U, two wheels underneath
Wooden Loom — planks and a wheel

The loom

MC+ Loom's loom spins wool into string. It works like a furnace with two fuel slots: wool on top, a spindle in each of the two slots below.

A block of wool, any colour, becomes 4 string in 20 seconds.
Spindles: a stick (10 s), a blaze rod (40 s) or shears (160 s). Both slots need one, and the loom runs for as long as the pair lasts together.
The wheel turns and smoke puffs while it spins. Taking the string out gives the experience it earned, as a furnace does.
Hoppers feed it from the top and the sides and pull string from the bottom. A comparator reads it.

What it spins and what it accepts as a spindle are recipes, so a datapack, KubeJS or CraftTweaker can add, change or remove them. The recipe types are pull_cart:spinning and pull_cart:spindle; the README has the JSON.

With TerraFirmaCraft

TerraFirmaCraft is not required — the mod runs on its own. When TFC is present:

The cart is a huge, very heavy item like an anvil: no TFC chest, vessel, barrel or bundle takes it, carrying one exhausts you and two overburden you.
The loom spins TFC wool into 8 wool yarn and takes TFC spindles, twigs and metal shears. A TFC spindle turns it for 20 seconds and loses 1 durability, so a pair spins 80 wool before breaking.
A chest on the cart holding more than 4 huge, very heavy items is too heavy to pull. The limit is tfc.maxHeavyItems in config/pull_cart-common.toml.

What changed from the original

Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1 instead of Forge 1.7.10, rewritten against the current API.
The loom's recipes became datapack recipes. In the original they were hard-coded.
TerraFirmaCraft integration: item sizes and weights, TFC wool and spindles, the weight limit.
The cart now breaks the way a minecart or a boat does, instead of being destroyed by a single hit.
config/pull_cart-common.toml: the distance the cart follows at, the distance it lets go at, and the weight limit.
MC+ Cart's own dependency on the MC+ API is gone; this needs nothing but the loader.
