High-Speed Rail

Then this is the mod for you

New Features! (as of version 0.12.0+1.21.3)

Support has been added for the new experimental minecart physics.
You can break the 1000 block-per-second limit on the minecartMaxSpeed gamerule!
You can change acceleration and deceleration rates as well.
Minecart behaviors can be set on a per-block basis. Building your tracks on diamond blocks? Go 25k bps!
Force new minecart physics to be enabled in old worlds.
Accurate speedometer with physics model at any speed.

Fast Minecarts. Why settle for 8 blocks-per-second? Go 40, 50, 60 bps or more!
Fully customizable. Configure different speed boosts for different blocks.
No derailing. Minecarts automatically reduce to normal speed on curves.
Serverside-only. Clients do not need to install the mod.
Vanilla-friendly. Does not add new blocks to your world.
Optional minecart speedometer
Optional nerf for ice boats (boats on ice move the same as on land)

The speed-up does not work on any curved tracks, including 'diagonal' sections.
Top speed is increased but not acceleration. Use more powered rails to go faster.
Speed is capped at 78 blocks-per-minute.

High-Speed Rail was inspired by this Reddit post
And also Gravel Carts which is great mod that implements the same idea a bit differently
Idea for disabling ice boats borrowed from Ice Boat Nerf
Idea for speedometer borrowed from Speedometer
