Seems like unfortunately Melontini (the guy that was maintaining this mod) gave up last month ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Can someone takeover development of Linkart (MR) and update it to 1.21.6+?

Also, i suggested to him a couple of months ago implementing the features of this mod (GH), a sign system that in theory would turn Linkart in something even more like TrainCarts, a plugin for Bukkit/Spigot that i mentioned couple of times before that really turns minecarts into something useful for autonomous transportation - and that unfortunately the author refuses to even try to bring it to Fabric, despite the uniqueness and longevity of the concept.

A Java-based project adding cart linking for Minecraft. - constellation-mc/Linkart

#

@crisp adder don't know if you still tinkers with minecarts, if positive perharps you would like to see that

#

Mentioned to you on inbox a long time ago

#

Curious to see how the Minecart Improvements experiment/feature flag would play along this

#

Linkart update & enhancements

#

If I have time I would be willing to do it

traincarts cart member mechanic looks so clean

snow relic
#

Linkart is the one that comes close

livid shore
#

I now understand why the owner had pain maintaining this lol

#

I have no clue why the did it the way they did though

livid shore
#

yeah, I don't feel like rewriting the entire mod. mojank changed everything

snow relic
#

yeah that's why i mentioned StuffStuffs

#

he seems to be the only person here that touched that cursed thing that is minecarts

In addition, their setup was weird to support like 50 versions of Minecraft with one jar

i think they meant lombok?

snow relic
#

and i think that just serves to tie the minecarts together, don't have anything like the sweet physics (that @gentle spear mentioned)

#

oh hey that's me

#

didnt even notice this lol ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

working on implementing stonecutter on this thing

iron shore
#

tho for now the idea is just keeping Linkart mantained (and that bug fixed)

snow relic

#

yeah

snow relic
#

ohh i see

lavish hinge
#

-# they have a stonecutter + fabric template

iron shore
# iron shore yeah

basically a tool that allows me to support multiple minecraft versions at once in one branch and with sharing code

#

super useful and cool

lavish hinge
snow relic
#

oh i see

iron shore
#

wanted to try it out on this smaller mod before trying it on a bigger project

snow relic
iron shore
#

however when they go through portals with Linkart, they get unlinked

#

this is not intended and is a bug

#

and it's actually the reason the mod is labeled as a beta :P

#

I will patch it whenever the magic factors (having the time to do it, feeling like doing it and have thinked how to do it) align

#

I mean prs are open tho as always but yeah I will make it tho idk when

#

no ETA

snow relic
iron shore
#

but I mean sure anyone can pr, and if I don't get any it will get done by me at some point

iron shore
#

Stonecutter is basically ready, my plans are to only mantain 1.21.1 and latest as of rn

#

if theres more demand i will consider mantaining 1.21.3 or other versions

snow relic
iron shore
iron shore
snow relic
#

will try asap

iron shore
#

i thought i would have to wait for the updates to be reviewed too but seems liek it just worked

@iron shore a suggestion for future versions (before implementing signs if you have interest on that):

Add the furnace UI to the minecart w/ furnace, and add a minecart w/ blast furnace (that would go faster than minecart with regular furnaces

#

also why not add "Minecart w/(char)coal"? would be a similar concept with the very old Minecart with stew (you would fill that directly with (char)coal, without the need to use a chest) to use that immediately behind a minecart with (blast) furnace to power it

#

Oh dang people actually used this awful thing we made

iron shore
#

Linkart Refabricated will get merged onto Harmony though, and we have multiple changes for Minecarts planned for both Harmony and Melody (Melody being another modular mod that works as a companion/extension to Harmony)

iron shore
snow relic
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

iron shore
snow relic
#

so i'm in the look for others that have interest in pick up developement of the melontini mod in the future

iron shore
#

feel free to give more minecart suggestions tho as they may get onto harmony and/or melody

iron shore
#

it's modular and configurable

#

you just disable what you don't like

#

also I will keep Linkart up to date until I merge it into Harmony

snow relic
#

i already fled several "modular" mods that add features that i want in the past because i dont like to do that

iron shore
snow relic
#

my modpacks are pretty huge and i stubmled in compatibility issues with modules that i thought were "disabled" but continued to mess with the system

iron shore
#

also configurable =/= modular

#

and we will prioritize mod compat

#

I am making the mods this way because believe me

snow relic
#

btw, the only reason i'm looking for an update of it is because TrainCarts will not get a port to Fabric anytime soon

iron shore
#

I'm a mod packer and I have gone through that pain

#

so you can rest assured I will keep that in mind

snow relic
#

and the author is staunch against rewriting to another modloader (understandable)

iron shore
#

like the code not running, not giving the same response as vanilla (which isn't the same thing)

#

also Furnace GUI would require to mod the client too

iron shore
#

I wouldn't want to mess w that

iron shore
#

again dw as idk when harmony will be ready to be released and the module system will be the same Andromeda uses (another mod by melontini!)

#

and it will actually be modular and not "configurable but disabling the feature still gives compat issues"

snow relic
#

๐Ÿ†™

#

Hope someone have interest in fork it too but to keep standalone and add the signals stuff to make it more like TrainCarts ๐Ÿ™

iron shore
#

also any other new functionality for Minecarts would be added to Harmony (the mod Linkart may be added to depending on some stuff i still have to check)

#

signs arent on my list but Furnace Minecart GUI is though (between others)

#

~~Since editing the vanilla minecarts is a PITA, i "superseded" this request by this one here (to add a whole separate system instad of editing the vanilla ones): ๐Ÿ‘‰ #1333248560409346049 ~~

Additionally, i also did another request for someone to port LittleLogistics to Fabric 1.21.x. ๐Ÿ‘‰ #1333591769560125601 . Maybe porting this would be even more easier than either requests above

snow relic
#

๐Ÿ†™, since the above diversion wasn't sucessful, and taking opportunity Mojang is doing a very interesting revamp of leashes but left the ability to leash minecarts together out (plus the whole minecart-improvements deal), wonder if this concept could be ressurrected for 1.21.6+...

frigid escarp
#

Little thing but this should probably be doable with the chain item instead of a leash? Could work the same, just probably more immersive

snow relic
#

i mentioned leashes most because of the amazing changes Mojang is doing with that item in 1.21.6 snapshots

wary fjord
#

might be taking a look into this

#

gotta need things to work on and pollute my github

snow relic
#

you are my hero

wary fjord
#

aight, just to say

I've kinde started making this - but no promises

#

AbstractMinecartEntity somewhat scares me and I absolutely have no idea if the implementation I have will work in practice

wary fjord
#

I mean I do get why they did things

#

and do understand what the code does

#

I just need to think about where I should mix in into, to not break controls but also add new controls

wary fjord
#

I could just write a custom minecart controller, would make it easier for sure

#

but kinda a lot of copy-paste work, because I don't want to think about it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

snow relic
#

๐Ÿ†™ again, taking opportunity of Spring to Life update (and its leash changes) to see if someone have interest

snow relic
#

๐Ÿ†™ still have hope someone will finally fix the mess that vanilla minecarts are (and add the ways to automate railroads Linkart and Signals offered)

snow relic
#

@iron shore upped the refabricated to 21.5

iron shore
#

hii

#

yes I wanna port

#

there's PRS on my repo

#

but I'm busy

#

I will start being free next week

snow relic
iron shore
#

and I will try and release for as much versions as I can

iron shore
#

I will review the PR next week
