Datapack Darceno's Minecarts

Darceno’s Minecarts, faster rail travel

Darceno’s Minecarts is a server side Minecraft datapack for Java Edition that makes railways a practical transportation option again. It increases the speed of minecarts carrying a player or mob, while chest minecarts also benefit from improved movement. A slower speed variant is available for servers that prefer a more vanilla feeling.

Minecarts with passengers and chest minecarts can load nearby chunks while traveling on rails, letting them transport entities or supplies over long distances without a player nearby. The pack also improves powered rail crafting yields and leaves empty and utility minecarts largely untouched. At BoxToPlay, we see it as a useful addition for connected bases and automated logistics.
