How do I import a mod that I did not create, and update it to a different version of the game?

I was looking for a mod that makes it so that minecarts do not break when they turn corners, as they do. The closest thing I have found is this mod which uses a small portion of Railcraft's code. It uses string to couple carts together. However, it is on 1.12.2, but I have found that they have posted some of the source code online in a zip. I have already tried importing it into Mcreator, but it says that it isn't a valid workspace. How am I supposed to go about this?

if you are trying to import the zip as a workspace then that would be why because a mods source code is different than a mcreator wokspace zip file.

No, you can't turn source code into the MCreator workspace.

You usually also can't just take someone else's work and just work on it until the license allows it
