Multi-Seat Vehicle System

Datapack Custom Vehicles

The most powerful feature of this mod: create your own vehicles using only JSON — no coding required!

Define new frames and wheels via datapacks
Freely adjust vehicle stats: weight, dimensions, grip, seat layout, hitboxes, camera position
Attach custom models and textures through resource packs
Optional: add Auto Mechanic Table recipes for survival-mode crafting

Dual Rendering Engine Support

Whether you are a modeling beginner or veteran, RIAutomobility has the right tools for you:

JsonEM — Simple JSON entity models, great for getting started quickly
GeckoLib — Powerful animated models with complex animation support

Safe & Stable Resource Handling

Custom models are automatically loaded after entering a world — no manual refresh needed.
