Minetest 5.2 mod: Kart Car 🔗
This is a kart car, a mod that provides a little race car. It can be painted using dye of any color you want, you must punch the seat with the dye.
Your kart starts with fuel. To refuel you need stop, turn the engine off and punch a biofuel vial or gallon against the kart.
- arrows to control acceleration, brake, direction.
- shift to go backwards
- E key to turn the engine on
The kart runs better on solid blocks like stones, clay, etc. If you try to run over grass, snow or permafrost, the speed will be severely reduced.
It uses some code from Sailing Kit (by TheTermos)

Cool
An interesting start, but feels slightly unpolished to use. This may be due to engine limitations, though
It would be good if the camera was locked onto the kart's direction, as manually turning it is annoying.
It's not obvious that you need to use E to turn the engine on, and then up to accelerate. I suggest making the engine always be on or adding a HUD hint
Good looking, fun and realistic
Karts are moving very smoothly and looks very good! This is a pretty fun mod to use to make a race with friends xD
Shown and Advertized well
I use this mod all the time to zoom around tiny race tracks, and it’s honestly a blast. The handling feels smooth and responsive, and the overall design is spot-on. It doesn’t work on grass, snow, or other soft surfaces—just like it’s advertised—and I really respect that level of accuracy. I love when mods actually behave exactly the way the creator says they will. It shows that the developer really knows what they’re doing and takes the time to make everything feel balanced and realistic.
This mod adds a whole new level of fun to any world, especially if you’re into racing or just like testing out vehicles on custom tracks. It’s not only functional but also feels really well-optimized, with no random bugs or performance issues. Everything runs smoothly, and it’s obvious a lot of thought went into how it’s meant to be used.
Huge shoutout to APercy for the amazing work on this one. It’s such a simple concept, but executed perfectly. Definitely one of those mods that ends up staying in your loadout for a long time. Keep up the awesome work—I can’t wait to see what updates or new creations come next!
Epic design and playability!
This looks amazing and works very well. The only thing I find kinda annoying is that the steering/rotation velocity is very slow which sometimes makes it harder to drift. Other than that, it works and is pretty good!
tons of fun
i really like it love to see more like it
