Consistently searching for an addon that adds vanilla-styled vehicles to Minecraft? And all you find is a few bizarre current vehicles addon? No problem! Around here at Random Kerbal’s Institute, we have the answer for you (likely not the best…but in any case)!
Introducing the:
“MineCars” Addon!
(not *minecarts*)
100% Survival-friendly!
I have gone through over a large portion of a year dealing with this to guarantee that: each and every viewpoint (from visuals to functionalities) are examined, none of the “bugs” become “highlights”, have a code that is all around as upgraded as could really be expected, as well as to give a satisfying encounter to the clients. Please enjoy 🙂NEW FEATURES! (for those who downloaded this addon before):
This good quality addon adds 6+1 new vehicles as well as 7 wagons for more customisation:
-MineCars-
Default Minecar
Lantern Minecar
Spike-shovel Minecar
Chest Minecar
Drill Minecar
Shooter Minecar
NEW: Soul Lantern Minecar
(& more in the future?)
They may look like minecarts, but they are fuel-powered and can move without rails!
General Information (applied to all minecars):
-can be fuelled/refuelled by crouching and interacting with a combustible item:
More condensed fuel sources (coal block/lava/kelp block) power the vehicle longer, while lighter fuel sources (coal item/blaze powder/wood) power the vehicle for a shorter time.
-can be repaired by iron ingots
-can be leashed (in case u ran out of fuel)
-can pull vanilla Minecarts
-tilt according to the terrain steepness!
-special breaking animation!
Default MineCar (name: Reliant)
-father of all minecars
Recipe:
Lantern MineCar (name: Lumine)
-has custom-made dynamic lighting!
-lantern can be turned on and off (by crouching while interacting)
-best for scouting missions!

custom soul absorbing particle
-has soul speed enchantment on wheels, it doesn’t get slowed down by soul sand like other vehicles!
Spike-shovel MineCar (name: Rammer)
-very first “compound element” (two substances connected together to go about as one). This will make a few potential bugs, including player sitting on some unacceptable sit on the off chance that the riding element neglected to bring forth, as well as not having the option to go through entryways
-has a spikey shovel for damaging mobs (2.5 hearts per tick)
-mobs can stuck onto the shovel when you’re dashing at your victim at high speed (and take constant damage)!
-mobs will leave a bloodstain which can be washed off by driving into water or rain
-best for protecting your base!
Recipe:
You will need to craft a spikey shovel first:
Then combine it with a minecar:
*It is not wise to ram creepers!*

Mode4: Missile
Like cannonball but your terrain is safe!
–Cannonball, Missile modes requires a longer charging time
–Multishot, Flamethrower requires a shorter charging time
-gun can be turned on/off
Note: Big thanks to creator MNO’s addon: “Miniguns & Landmines” for the Cannonball & Missile projectiles!
Recipe:
You will need to craft the gun first:
Then combine it with a minecar:
The recipe of the Minecart is also changed to be more logical. Now you need to first craft a set of wheels:
Then, put the materials as follow:
-The Wagons-
If you want more functionalities for your MineCar, feel free to add some wagons!
There are two ways to spawn the wagons:
1-use the spawn eggs in the Creative Inventory
2-use their respective items (couplers) to interact with the MineCar.
note: The carts can be joined to the MineCar utilizing the cart things (couplers), however NOT the bring forth eggs. You can observe both in the Creative Inventory, simply ensure you utilize the right one.

An example caravan that you could make:
