🎮 How to Play

🗺️ 1. Find a Core

Cores cannot be crafted. Find them in structure chests.

| Core Tier | Location | |:--|:--| | ⚙️ Standard | Village Toolsmith, Weaponsmith, and Armorer chests | | 🛡️ Sturdy | Nether Fortress chests | | ⚡ Swift | Bastion Remnant chests | | 💎 Prime | Ancient City chests |

Each core has randomized stats:

• 🏁 Top Speed: 17–25 blocks per second (BPS)
• ⛽ Fuel Capacity: 70–140 Fuel Units (FU)
• ❤️ Hull Health: 70–140 HP

🔧 2. Craft Your Terracart

Craft Terracart Wheels using 1 Iron Ingot + 4 Black Wool.

Then combine the following in a crafting table:

• 4 × Terracart Wheels
• 1 × Vehicle Core
• 1 × Iron Ingot
• 1 × Saddle
• 1 × Glass
• 1 × Minecart

Your Terracart inherits the randomized stats of its core.

⛽ 4. Fuel, Repairs & Damage

| Action | How It Works | |:--|:--| | ⛽ Refuel | Hold Coal and right-click the vehicle. | | Fuel Rate | 1 Coal = 15 FU, providing 2 minutes of continuous driving. Fuel is consumed only while moving. | | 💥 Damage | Crashes, falls, heavy impacts, and explosions can damage the vehicle and injure the driver. | | 🔧 Repair | Hold an Iron Ingot and right-click the vehicle. | | Repair Rate | Each Iron Ingot restores 15 HP. |

| Collision Speed | Hull Damage | Fuel Loss | Driver Damage | Other Effects | |:--|:--|:--|:--|:--| | 🟢 Below 8 BPS | 1–2 HP | — | — | — | | 🔴 8 BPS or above | 5–15 HP | 1–5 FU | 1.5–3 hearts | 0.5-second engine stall and recoil |

Mob Interactions

| Mob Category | Interaction | |:--|:--| | 🐾 Light & Medium Mobs | Can take up to 22 HP impact damage. | | 🧱 Heavy Mobs | Act as solid obstacles. High-speed collisions can trigger the full crash consequences. |

Environmental Interactions

| Environment | Effect | |:--|:--| | 🌿 Leaves | Increase driving resistance. | | 💧 Shallow Water | Reduces driving speed. | | 🌊 Deep Water | Causes vehicles to sink. | | 🔥 Fire & Lava | Dangerous to vehicles. | | 💣 Explosions | knock vehicles into the air. |

Terrain also affects driving, including acceleration downhill and resistance uphill.
