The Detector Rail will stop minecarts if an adjacent powered rail is powered. The Powered Rail also has an advanced version, the Detector Rail. There’s also the Powered Rail, which can be used in place of normal rails, and can power minecarts with up to 8 EU/t.

Traincraft also adds in new tracks, including the Railed Track, which makes it possible to create a straight line of track for your locomotives to follow. Traincraft also adds in new minecart types: The Pigron Car, which functions like a normal minecart but has an increased speed and capacity The Iron Horse, which is a faster, iron-plated version of the Pigron Car The Steel Horse, which is even faster than the Iron Horse and has an increased capacity and finally, there’s the Locomotive Minecart, which is exactly what it sounds like: A minecart that can be used as a locomotive. The Hopper Car is capable of dumping its contents when it reaches the end of a track or if the player uses the “dump cart” command. Railcraft’s carts have also been added to Traincraft, with the addition of the Hopper Car, which can carry up to 32 stacks of items. Batteries are crafted from lead, tin, copper and zinc in a furnace. Coal and charcoal are not used for fuel on these locomotives instead they use coal coke, which is crafted from coal and charcoal in a furnace. They have a max speed of 40 m/s (90 mph) and can power minecarts up to 32 EU/t. Traincraft also adds in electric locomotives, which can be powered by redstone current or batteries. These locomotives are fueled by coal or charcoal, and cannot go as fast as their electric counterparts. The 0-4-0 is the slowest of the three, with a max speed of 30 m/s (65 mph), while the 4-6-2 is faster with a max speed of 35 m/s (78 mph). Each tier has a slightly higher speed than the last. There are three different tiers of steam locomotives: the 0-4-0, the 2-6-0 and the 4-6-2. If the “mods” folder does not exist you can create one.ĭrag and drop the downloaded jar (zip) file into it.įirst and foremost, there are different types of locomotives to drive. Whether you’re transporting goods or simply travelling from one place to another, Traincraft adds a new level of excitement to rail travel. This allows for more creative possibilities when it comes to transportation. The mod adds many different locomotives, carts, and other moving objects to the game.
