Cubic Racers is a mod aimed at integrating karts into the game for racing with your friends, similar to one of the famous plumber's games.
______________________________________________________________________________
The karts are vehicles in which you can ride to race with your friends. In addition to being able to be driven on land, they can also be used underwater and in the air. It is also possible to drift, which will give you mini-boosts of varying strength depending on the time you take to execute them.
There are several karts, each with their own style and stats for speed, acceleration, and handling. It's up to you to find the one that best suits your driving style!
______________________________________________________________________________
The mod also provides items that are obtained when you hit an Item Box with your kart. This Item Box will then give you 1 item out of the 8 available:
Banana: Spawns a banana. This banana will stun a kart when it collides with it.
Bomb-Omb: Spawns a bomb. This bomb will explode after a certain time or when a kart comes into contact with it.
Fake Box: Spawns a fake item box. This fake item box will stun a kart when it collides with it.
Green Shell: Spawns a shell. This shell will travel in the direction it was launched until it hits a kart (which will stun it) or a wall (can bounce up to 3 times).
Klaxon: Creates a shockwave around your kart. This shockwave will stun all karts caught in it.
Mushroom: Provides a temporary speed boost to your kart.
Star: Temporarily makes your kart invincible and boosts its speed.
Thunder: Summons a thunderstorm on all opponent karts, stunning them.
Several of these items can be launched forward or backward.

Karts are by default slowed down when they are not on a road blocks (now configurable with config file). These blocks are added via the mod and provide better ground adhesion for the karts, making them faster! Thanks to this, you can create your own circuits with a specific road to follow and off-road areas for the clever ones who thought they could stray from the path.
NEW: Alternatively, you can create your own circuits with any block using the road maker, an item which allows you to place hollow track blocks on top of any other block. As long as your kart is driving through these hollow blocks, it will be able to reach its maximum speed. Basically, this tool allows you to use any block as your main road for your tracks !
Boosters are blocks that suddenly accelerate karts that pass over them.

The Kart Controller is a block that, when powered by redstone, prevents all karts on it from moving. Very useful if you want to prevent all vehicles from moving before the start.

All karts, items, and blocks from the mod are craftable:

You can modify the use of road blocks, the drop rates of the item box, and the karts' statistics (max speed, acceleration, speed boost, and handling) from the configuration file (via "WORLD/serverconfig/cubicracers-server.toml").
Here is the default config file:

For my part, I'm quite happy with what I've done. It's the first mod I've created, and I hope to be able to improve it at my own pace with future updates. I also want to thank:
