Sturdy Vehicles
Improve Minecart and Boat recipes, control their drops! Data driven.
Formerly known as Sturdy Carts.
Works server-side* and in single player.
*see Prior Versions below for Minecraft versions 1.20.5-1.21.1.
Sturdy Vehicles adds recipes to separate a Minecart or Boat item from its held item.
e.g. if you put a Minecart with Chest in a crafting grid you can pull the Hopper out from the result slot and the
Minecart will remain in the grid with the Chest removed.
You can do the same with Furnace, Hopper, and TNT Minecarts and with Chest Boats.
A renamed Minecart or Boat will keep its name when split from or combined with its held item.
Sturdy Vehicles also allows changing of Minecart and Boat drops, but doesn't change any by default.
Some of the builtin packs change Loot Tables to emulate older versions of Minecraft.
Recipes and Loot Tables are data driven, and everything included is in builtin packs that can be
enabled|disabled using /datapack enable|disable "sturdy_vehicles:pack_name".
Mods and mod packs can add similar recipes, read how on the wiki.
Builtin packs
- Uncraft Minecarts; default:

The 'Thing' is the recipe output while the Minecart is left behind in the crafting grid and receives the name of the input Minecart with 'Thing'.

enabled
Adds recipes to separate Chest Boats into a Chest and a Boat.
The Chest is the recipe output while the Boat is left behind in the crafting grid and receives the name of the input Chest Boat.

Prior versions
Mod versions prior to 2.0.0 are named Sturdy Carts, its id is sturdy_carts,
and it adds the recipe types sturdy_carts:minecart_crafting and sturdy_carts:minecart_uncrafting.
On Minecraft versions 1.20.5-1.21.1, to connect to a server with Sturdy Vehicles, either Polymer must be installed on the server, or Sturdy Vehicles must be installed on the client.
Mod versions prior to 1.1.0 only add recipes if Nbt Crafting is installed.
On Minecraft versions prior to 1.19, the mod makes Minecarts with 'Thing's drop themselves (instead of splitting into a Minecart and a 'Thing' which is the pre-1.19 vanilla behavior).
