Medieval Cart with Donkey Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my donkey to pull a cart instead of just carrying a chest?
Tame a donkey, equip it with a chest as normal, and the resource pack will automatically replace the chest appearance with a medieval cart model. Make sure OptiFine is installed and enabled for the 3D model to display correctly.
Why can't I see the cart model on my donkey?
OptiFine is required to render the custom 3D cart model. Install OptiFine for your Minecraft version and enable it, then restart your game. If the cart still doesn't appear, try disabling and re-enabling the resource pack in your resource pack menu.
Do the wheels actually spin or is it just visual?
The wheels are animated and spin as the donkey walks or runs, giving the illusion of the cart rolling. This is purely visual and doesn't affect how the donkey moves or how cargo is stored.
Can I use this resource pack with other mods that change donkey behavior?
The resource pack only changes the visual appearance of chest-carrying donkeys, so it should work alongside most mods. However, mods that significantly alter donkey models or rendering may cause conflicts—test in your world to confirm compatibility.
How much cargo can a donkey cart hold?
A donkey with a chest holds the same amount of inventory space as a standard chest, regardless of the resource pack. The cart model is purely cosmetic and doesn't increase storage capacity.
Will the cart model show up for other players on a multiplayer server?
Yes, if all players have the resource pack installed and OptiFine enabled, everyone will see the cart model. Players without the pack will see the standard chest on the donkey instead.
Can I use this pack with Optifine's shader mods?
Yes, the resource pack works with OptiFine shaders. The cart model and wheel animations will display correctly with most shader packs, though performance depends on your shader settings and hardware.
What happens if I unequip the chest from my donkey?
The cart model disappears and the donkey returns to its normal appearance. Equipping a new chest will bring the cart model back.
Does the cart model work on donkeys that aren't tamed?
No, only tamed donkeys with equipped chests display the cart model. Wild donkeys or tamed donkeys without chests will not show the cart.
Can I customize the cart color or design?
The resource pack provides a single medieval cart design. To customize colors or create different cart styles, you would need to edit the resource pack files directly using a texture editor.
