Kuruma

KurumaMod

Gran Turismo, in Minecraft.

This isn't just something shaped like a car. The front dips when you brake, the rear squats when you accelerate, the body rolls through corners, and if you get greedy with the throttle the tyres squeal and it steps sideways. A real car, driving through your world.

Why KurumaMod?

KurumaMod is about the driving itself — born from an obsession with how a car should drive.

• Real physics simulation — suspension, weight transfer, tyre grip, engine and gearbox, differential. You can feel the limit coming before you reach it
• A huge range of setup options — springs, anti-roll bars, tyres, the torque curve, gear ratios, the diff, brakes, downforce and more. Press G mid-drive, move a slider, and the car changes from the next corner on
• Race your friends — lap timing, split times and leaderboards, in multiplayer
• Just drop it in — no other mods required. Add cars with a single jar

🏎️ Drives like the real thing

You can't throw it into a tight corner at full speed. Brake properly before the turn, scrub off the speed, and it goes round cleanly.

Grip fades gradually rather than vanishing at once, so you'll feel the front start to run wide, and when the rear steps out you can catch it with countersteer. Pull the handbrake and the clutch disengages for you — the rear locks, the car swings round, and you can hold it in a drift. Steering follows the slide, so there's always enough opposite lock to catch it.

Your first car is a Nissan Silvia S15 on TE37s. Automatic for a relaxed cruise, manual when you want to shift for yourself.

🔧 Tune as you drive

Press G and the setup screen opens without pausing the game. Springs, anti-roll bars, tyres, torque curve, gear ratios, LSD, brakes, weight distribution, front and rear downforce — move a slider and the car responds right away. Start from the built-in Drift or Off-road preset, and save your own setups to share with friends.

✨ Make it yours

Set camber, offset and wheel width until it sits just right — flush, poke, or full oni-kyan. Fit wheels from car packs and check the look on your own car on the spot.

Bolt on aero parts — bumpers, side skirts, fenders, a rear wing, a diffuser. Wings and diffusers make real downforce, and you can set the wing angle yourself. Mufflers change the exhaust note, and everyone nearby hears it. The gauges come in two styles: 90s JDM factory or modern.

🌧️ Road and weather

Tarmac, dirt, gravel, sand, snow, ice — change the surface and the car behaves completely differently. Rain makes the road slippery, while tunnels and bridges stay dry. Roads from other mods work as they are.

💡 Night driving

Switch the headlights on with L and they really light the road: a low beam with a proper cut-off, beams glowing in fog and rain, and shadows cast by trees and walls. Drift through your own tyre smoke and it lights up in the beam. Every car's lights work, however many are on the road, and they work with shader packs (Iris / Oculus) too. Tune the aim, brightness and reach with Ctrl+L.

🏁 Racing

Place a start line and checkpoints anywhere in your world and hold a proper race — start lights, live standings, and your gap to your best lap at every checkpoint. Multiplayer, timed to the millisecond. Cars can collide with each other (servers can turn this off).

🏔️ Off-road

Load the Off-road preset for four-wheel drive, a locking diff, long suspension travel and big tyres. Climb one-block ledges, let the diff pull you out of a ditch with a wheel in the air, and head into the hills with dust trailing behind you.

🎮 Wheel and gamepad support

Fully analog throttle, brake and steering — and the handbrake too: map a wheel's handbrake lever and how far you pull sets how hard it bites. Plug it in, press J, and move the axis you want to assign.
