Create: Bits 'n' Tracks Community Edition
by the_atmerek
Bits 'n' Tracks is a NeoForge addon for Create that lets players build working tank tracks from flanged cogwheels, with suspension physics driving the vehicles.
What it does
The mod adds flanged cogwheels in several sizes, with industrial cogwheel variants and hidden cogwheels for cleaner builds. Two same-size cogwheels can be placed side by side along an axis so the track stretches to match, and sneak-placing keeps them apart. A Cog Alignment Lever shifts, hides, resets and reroutes cogwheels after they are already down. By default a cogwheel sends the track around the other side, and it can be switched to suspension physics one cogwheel at a time.
Working tracks are built with the belt and chain system from Create: Bits 'n' Bobs, and the vehicles run on suspension-style physics provided by Sable. Create and Create: Bits 'n' Bobs are both required, and Sable must also be installed. The mod runs on client and server and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so its source code is open source. Its original code is by qwxon, and this community edition continues development from where the original left off.
Key features
Flanged track cogwheels
Cogwheels with flanges come in a range of sizes and can be placed aligned, hidden and tuned to form track wheels.
Suspension physics per cogwheel
Each cogwheel can be switched between its default track routing and suspension physics, so tracked vehicles behave differently block by block.
Cog Alignment Lever
A lever shifts, hides, resets and reroutes cogwheels after placement, so a finished track can be tuned without rebuilding it.
Configurable physics settings
Suspension geometry, drive, friction, stress, sounds and client rendering options can be changed in the Config button in the mod list.
Per-world physics values
Physics settings can be edited per world through the server config, and a new world can be given the same values.
