Better Wheels is a vanilla wheel overhaul mod. It does the following:

  • Adjusts collision boxes to better reflect the visual size of the wheels
  • Increases the allowed range for vertical travel of the wheel suspension
  • Adds mount points to the hubs of all suspension wheels to allow dual wheels, hub caps, etc.

What does this do for you? It allows much greater flexibility when building vehicles. For example, now you can place blocks all around the wheel suspensions, add wheels at the lowest suspension travel setting, then move them where you want them.

Compatibility: works with any mods that do not modify the vanilla wheel suspensions or wheel attachments.

Helpful tip: if you are having trouble adding wheels, place an additional suspension elsewhere on the same grid, and select it along with the wheel-less suspension to allow adjustment of the height offset. Try setting the height offset to the minimum value and then adding the wheels.
