Invisible Minecart Fix

Description
This a temporary patch for the "invisible liquid-filled minecart" bug until it gets an official fix.

WARNING: THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL
This mod duplicates existing graphics raws. I haven't encountered any issues in testing, but I cannot guarantee it won't cause graphical or other issues in gameplay.

A possibly safer method of installing this may be to edit the minecart entry in vanilla\vanilla_items_graphics\graphics_items.txt with the version in this mod; always remember to back up your original first!

Non-Steam version available on DFFD as "[50.04] Invisible Minecart Fix (experimental)"!

I don't believe these were fixed yet; I know the invisible jug issue still exists, at least, but I haven't checked minecarts recently.

were these issues officially fixed

Oh, very cool. :) Hopefully most of these will be tracked down for 50.06.

I used your patch as an example to fix the honey jugs being invisible as well.

That's a very odd one. I don't think it's related to what this mod was made to address (it's just a missing graphics asset), but it's good to know!

I was having an odd issue where any time a minecart was hauled to a track, it would be flagged as hidden. Eventually I figured it out and noticed that I could use the remove hidden tool, and they now appear on the track as expected. Hope that helps someone. I'm not sure it's the same issue this mod is trying to fix, but I came across this while searching for my problem, so I figured I'd drop what I know here.

@Nik If you fill a minecart with liquid (by submerging it in water/magma) and you can still see it, it's working. :)

Does the job )) thank you so much!

Don't suppose you've got any before/after screenshots? I'm gonna give this a go, but I'm not sure what to look for, to see if it's working.

@Lizy_Sticks If you're installing it by subscribing it will only work for newly-generated worlds with the mod activated at worldgen. The other method (editing the vanilla raws) should work for existing worlds also, but again, back up your original file!
