Ultimate Car Mod spices up Minecraft with cars, road-building, and biodiesel fuel. Here's a straightforward guide to crafting cars, making fuel, building roads, and driving around, based on the mod's mechanics for versions 1.10.2 to 1.21.6 (Forge/NeoForge). For exact crafting recipes, grab Just Enough Items (JEI) or Roughly Enough Items (REI).

1. Installing the Mod

  • What You Need: Get Minecraft Forge or NeoForge for your game version (like 1.21.6 or 1.20.1).
  • Download: Snag the Ultimate Car Mod from CurseForge (make sure it matches your version).
  • Setup:
    1. Drop the mod’s .jar file into the mods folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\mods on Windows).
    2. Fire up Minecraft with the Forge/NeoForge profile to check if the mod’s working.

2. Crafting a Car

To build a car, you’ll need a Car Workshop, a big setup for putting vehicles together.

Building the Car Workshop

  1. Make Parts:
    • 1 Car Workshop Block: Craft this in a regular crafting table (check JEI for the recipe).
    • 8 Car Workshop Parts: Place these around the Car Workshop Block in a 3x3 grid on any surface.
  2. Set It Up:
    • Put the Car Workshop Block down.
    • Surround it with the 8 parts to form a 3x3 grid with the block in the middle.
  3. Use It:
    • Right-click the Car Workshop to open its 5x3 crafting grid.

You can make tons of cars (over 54,000 combos) with different colors and parts.

  • Key Parts:
    • Body: Pick one:
      • Wooden Body (use any wood, like oak or spruce).
      • Big Wooden Body (for bigger vehicles).
      • Transporter Body (needs 6 wheels, colored with dyes).
      • SUV Body (needs big wheels, colored with dyes).
      • Sportscar Body (colored with dyes).
    • Wheels:
      • Normal Wheels (4 for most cars).
      • Big Wheels (for SUVs).
      • Transporter needs 6 wheels (one per slot in the workshop).
    • Engine:
      • 3-Cylinder Engine (decent speed, uses moderate fuel).
      • 6-Cylinder Engine (faster, burns more fuel).
      • Truck Engine (1.14+, saves the most fuel).
    • Tank:
      • Small Tank (500 mb fuel).
      • Medium Tank (1000 mb).
      • Large Tank (1500 mb).

    • Optional: License Plate Holder (add custom text).
  • Color Options:
    • Wooden cars: Depends on the wood type.
    • Other cars: Use Minecraft dyes (16 colors, like hardened clay). No mixing colors.
  • Crafting:
    • Toss the parts into the Car Workshop’s grid (check JEI for recipes).
    • Make sure the car stays on the workshop to register.
  • Keys: You get two keys when crafting (one’s a spare). Make extras with 1 key + 1 iron ingot in a crafting table.

3. Producing Fuel (Biodiesel)

Cars need biodiesel to run, and it’s made through a process like real-world fuel production.

Steps to Make Fuel

  1. Get Canola Seeds:
    • Break grass to find canola seeds (like wheat seeds).
    • Plant and harvest canola like you would wheat.
  2. Build an Oil Mill:
    • Craft an Oil Mill (check JEI for the recipe) to turn canola into canola oil.
  3. Power the Oil Mill:
    • Use a Dynamo with Crank (basic, just right-click to power it) or a Diesel Generator (better, but needs fuel and a motor).
  4. Turn Oil into Biodiesel:
    • Use a Backmix Reactor to process canola oil into biodiesel. Keep it powered (dynamo or generator).
    • Hook up tanks to store fluids (100 mb = 1/10 bucket; use fluid filters to avoid clogs).
  5. Set Up a Gas Station:
    • Craft a Gas Pump and link it to a tanker filled with biodiesel.
    • Park the car by the pump, right-click it, and hit “Start” to refuel.

Tips

  • Tanks hold fluids; breaking them keeps the fluid inside.
  • Machines like oil mills and reactors store energy and fluid internally.
  • If fuel’s slow to make, try automating with a diesel generator.

4. Building Roads

The mod gives you asphalt, road markings, and signs to make cool roads.

Steps

  1. Make Asphalt:
    • Craft asphalt blocks (check JEI for the recipe) and place them for roads.
  2. Add Markings:
    • Craft a Paint Roller or Yellow Paint Roller.
    • Hold the roller, crouch (Shift), and right-click asphalt to add markings (27 white and 27 yellow options).
  3. Add Signs and Extras:
    • Craft road signs and fences for a realistic look (recipes in JEI).
  4. Design Ideas:
    • Build highways or city streets with different markings and signs.
    • Cars go faster on asphalt roads.

5. Driving and Operating Cars

Getting In and Out

  • Get In: Right-click the car with its key.
  • Get Out: Press the Sneak key (default: Shift).
  • Start Engine: Hold R until it starts. Starting takes longer if:
    • The engine’s cold (like in snowy biomes).
    • The car’s damaged (more damage, slower start).
    • The battery’s low (low charge slows it down).

Driving

  • Use WASD keys to move and steer.
  • Check fuel and speed above the inventory bar.
  • Open the car’s UI by pressing I while inside to see:
    • Fuel level.
    • Battery level (recharge by driving or adding a charged battery, 500 RF fills half).
    • Damage status.
    • Inventory (for storage; transporters have a separate external inventory).
  • External Access: Crouch + right-click the car to check its inventory or GUI from outside.

Car Maintenance

  • Damage: Cars get banged up from crashes, water, or lava. At 95%+ damage, hitting it (2+ damage) destroys it (non-creative mode). In creative, crouch + hit (1.10-1.12) or hit twice with a hammer/wrench/screwdriver (1.14+).
  • Repairs:
    • Use the Car Workshop (place car on top, add repair tools to the repair GUI).
    • Or use a Repair Kit (fixes 5% damage).
  • Fuel: Refuel at a gas station when low. If you run out, push the car to a pump.

6. Additional Features

  • Vehicle Types: Pick from single-seaters, sports cars, SUVs, or transporters with cargo boxes.
  • Storage: All cars have trunks; transporters have extra cargo space.
  • Battery: Cars have batteries (recharge by driving or with charged batteries).
  • Commands: The mod has some technical commands; check the mod’s wiki or JEI for details.
  • Custom Fuels: Advanced players can add new fuels via datapacks (check the mod’s GitHub or Reddit).

7. Tips and Troubleshooting

  • Check Recipes: Use JEI/REI to sort out tricky recipes.
  • Car Won’t Move: Make sure the engine’s started (hold R) and it has fuel. Check the battery and damage.
  • Crafting Problems: Ensure the Car Workshop has all 9 blocks. If parts are missing, check JEI or confirm the mod’s installed right.
  • Fuel Issues: Fluids in tanks can be hard to see (100 mb = 1/10 bucket). Use multiple tanks for more storage.
  • Performance: For servers, install the mod on both client and server. Use fluid filters to keep fuel systems smooth.
