# Create Kart — Global Update Patch Notes (v2.3.0 to v3.1.0)

[DevNote]

Hello everyone! Since I'm not the most regular updater out there, this massive release bridges the gap straight from **v2.3.0 to v3.1.0** on Modrinth! This giant changelog compiles everything introduced across versions **2.5.0**, **3.0.0**, and **3.1.0**.

Under the hood, the mod went through a complete rewrite from scratch during the 2.5 phase (cleaning up ~11,000 to ~4,100 lines of legacy code) to achieve total stability. Following that, versions 3.0 and 3.1 brought multi-loader support (**NeoForge**, **Fabric**, and **Forge 1.20.1**), advanced engine audio, a complete handling overhaul, and the brand-new **"Kart on the Ice"** mechanics featuring glued wheels, Ponder tutorials, and sequential assembly!

## [Additions]

### 🏎️ Drift, Boost & Handling Mechanics (v2.5.0)

• Complete Drift Rework**: Hold the drift key while turning (with sufficient speed and accelerator pressed) to lock the turning side. Steering towards the drift tightens the curve, while steering away widens it.

• 3 Drift Charge Levels**: Visual indicators progress from smoke to flames, blue flames, and sparks at levels 1, 2, and 3 (1s, 2s, 3s). Releasing the key triggers a lengthier speed boost with rear flames and sound.

• Dynamic Drift Camera**: The driver's camera smoothly follows the kart's rotation in 1st and 3rd person (can be disabled in client config).

• Snappier Acceleration**: Karts reach top speed in ~7s instead of 11.5s.

• Real Braking & Coasting (v3.1.0)**: Pressing the reverse key while moving forward now acts as a powerful brake (stopping in ~0.75s with white particles), and karts can now be steered even without pressing the accelerator.

### 🧱 Glued Wheels & Advanced Automation (v3.1.0)

• Glued Wheels**: Shift + Right-Click a kart with glue. **Create Super Glue** (green wheels) gives maximum grip, increased water speed (~4x faster), sharper cornering, and faster deceleration. **Ice Glue** (blue wheels) makes the kart slide across all solid surfaces with unique spin-in-place mechanics when coasting on ice. Glue wears down gradually (4 durability points per use).

• Ice Glue ("Super Ice")**: A brand-new item crafted using Create Super Glue and blue ice.

• Glue Applicator**: A functional block placed on the ground that automatically coats passing karts with glue from its internal tube.

• Sequential Assembly**: Karts can now be built automatically using Create's sequential assembly mechanics (placing a chassis on a depot or belt and deploying components step-by-step through the 11 stages).

• Deployer Recoloring**: Easily dye karts by placing them on a depot under a deployer holding any of the 16 vanilla dyes.

• Ponder Tutorials**: Fully animated Ponder scenes have been integrated directly into version 3.1.0 to help players learn assembly, gluing, recoloring, and refueling.

• JEI Support**: Compact recipe viewing for automated kart assembly.
