Create a Minecart That Kills Mobs Instantly
Switching to Instant Kill Mode
Open your mod configuration file and change selectedDamageMode from TieredDamage to DirectlyKill. This mode bypasses the velocity-based damage calculation and eliminates mobs on contact instead of dealing scaled damage.
Accelerating Your Cart
Use powered rails to push your minecart to high speeds. Even at lower velocities, the minecart will now instantly kill any mob it collides with, making this mode ideal for mob farms and rapid clearing.
Fine-Tuning Detection
Choose your collision mode in selectedApplicaionMode:
- Collide: Only kills mobs the cart physically touches
- Radius: Kills all mobs within your configured radius, even if they don't make contact
If using Radius mode, adjust intRadius to control how far from the track the minecart's lethal effect reaches. Higher values clear larger areas but may affect unintended targets.
