Sturdy Vehicles Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Deconstruct Combined Minecarts and Boats

Sturdy Vehicles Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) gives players a long-requested quality-of-life upgrade: the ability to disassemble combined vehicles like chest minecarts, hopper boats, and more. In vanilla Minecraft, once you craft a combination vehicle such as a furnace minecart it’s permanently fused. This mod changes that limitation by allowing you to separate these components using a simple crafting recipe. It’s a must-have for technical players, redstone engineers, or anyone tired of wasting materials on uncraftable vehicle parts.

Features:

Deconstruct Any Combo Vehicle
Break down combined vehicles like chest minecarts, hopper boats, or TNT minecarts back into their individual components.
Simple Crafting Grid Separation
Just place the combined vehicle in a crafting grid to restore the base boat or minecart and its addon (e.g., chest, furnace, hopper).
Supports All Vanilla Combos
Works with all officially supported combinations, including:
- Minecart with Chest
- Minecart with Furnace
- Minecart with Hopper
- Minecart with TNT
- Boat with Chest
- Boat with Furnace (from mods)
Resource-Friendly
No more losing valuable materials or needing to craft extra minecarts every time you want to change your transport setup.
Perfect for Survival and Automation
Particularly useful for automation setups, allowing for flexible reuse of carts and boats.
