Automobility is currently in BETA!
The mod isn't feature-complete, and any feature requests would be greatly appreciated. Discuss features on the mod's GitHub Discussions page, or in the Discord.
- Requires Fabric API (Fabric) or QSL (Quilt)
- No additional mods required for Forge
Currently maintained for version 1.19.2, older versions are retired.
- Recipes: Crafting recipes can be viewed using EMI (Fabric/Quilt) or JEI (Forge).
- Automobile Parts: Craft an Auto Mechanic Table. Use the GUI to craft the frame, engine, and wheels for your automobile. You can optionally craft an attachment.
- Building your Automobile: Craft an Automobile Assembler, as well as a Crowbar. Place parts on the assembler until the vehicle is complete. Use a crowbar to destroy the vehicle.
- Enhancing your Automobile: Use your Auto Mechanic Table to craft attachments, which can be placed on your Automobile to add exciting functionality or utility.
- Building: You can use Slopes, Dash Panels, Off-Road tiles and more to build roads, racetracks, or obstacle courses.
- W - Accelerate
- S - Brake/Reverse/Burnout
- A/D - Steer left/right
- Space - Drift/Deploy
Controller Support (Fabric and Quilt Exclusive): when using MidnightControls, you will be able to control automobiles with the following default controls:
- A - Accelerate
- B - Brake/Reverse
- LStick - Steer left/right
- RTrigger - Drift/Deploy
Custom automobile models can be added through resourcepacks.
When creating a resource pack with custom models, make sure to put the zip file in both your resource pack folder and datapack folder so the new models and recipes are loaded.
NOTE:
- If you disable the resource pack while a custom model is in the world your game will crash
- Currently only custom frames are supported.
To add a custom model, it must be exported into JsonEM format.
- Follow the instructions here to export the model to the correct format in Blockbench.
- Ensure that the exported file is saved as
assets/automobility/models/entity/automobile/<part_type>/<model_name>/main.jsonin the resource pack - Save the texture to
assets/automobility/textures/entity/automobile/<part_type>/<texture_name>.pngin the resource pack (we will need this location for later) - Add a
assets/automobility/custom/<part_type>folder to the resource pack - Add a new json file with the definition of the part.

}Recipes can be added to the same zip file
- Add recipes to the
data/automobility/recipes/<part_type>/folder as a json file - All auto mechanic recipes (frame, engine, wheel) follow the following template (example for a frame):
{
"type": "automobility:auto_mechanic_table",
"category": "automobility:frames",
"sortnum": 508,
"ingredients": [
{"item": "minecraft:copper_block"},
{"item": "minecraft:red_dye"},
{"item": "minecraft:leather"},
{"item": "minecraft:iron_ingot"},
{"item": "minecraft:bucket"}
],
"result": {
"item": "automobility:automobile_frame",
"component": "automobility:sportscar_red"
}
