IronMile

This is the first public alpha release of IronMile.

IronMile is a driving mod that aims to bring a more immersive driving experience to Minecraft through realistic vehicle handling. The core driving mechanics are now playable, but the mod is still in active development.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• LambDynamicLights (Optional)

Controls & Features

Controls

• W – Accelerate
• S – Brake / Reverse
• A / D – Steer left / right
• Shift – Exit vehicle
• H - Turns on the headlight

Driving Surfaces

Different surfaces provide different amounts of grip.

• Road (Stones and concrete) – Highest grip and best overall performance.
• Dirt – Reduced grip compared to roads.
• Sand – Low grip with slower acceleration.
• Grass – Moderate grip with slightly reduced handling.
• Snow – Low grip, especially when using unsuitable tires.
• Ice – Extremely low grip and the most difficult surface to drive on.

Tire Types

Each tire type performs differently depending on the surface and weather.

• Summer Tires – Best suited for dry roads and warm conditions.
• All-Season Tires – Balanced performance across most surfaces and weather conditions.
• Winter Tires – Designed for snow and icy conditions, providing improved grip in cold weather.

Tires can be changed by interacting with the vehicle while holding the desired tire item.

Vehicle Features

• Driving mechanics
• Speed-based acceleration, braking, and steering
• Vehicle collisions
• Brake lights
• Reverse lights
• Headlights
• Optional LambDynamicLights support

Other

• Speed (km/h) – Your current speed. The Yellow Hatchback has a top speed of 140 km/h. It reaches 100km/h in roughly 9 seconds. The rate of which the speed accelerates is slower in higher speeds.
• Gear – The gear the transmission is currently using. Gear shifts causes the km/h to flatten for a bit before accelerating again.
• RPM – The current engine speed.
• Grip – The amount of traction available between the tires and the current surface. Higher grip provides better acceleration, braking, and cornering.
• Condition – The current weather condition affecting road grip. When under a roof, the car will be dry.
• HUD - displays the car's status.

Known issues

• Multiplayer has not been tested yet.
• Vehicle handling and balancing are still being adjusted.
• The driving camera is still being improved.
• More vehicles and features are planned for future updates.
• The player model is visible above and below the cars model.
