Coasters: Engineered
Coasters: Engineered adds linear motors, launch and brake blocks, and a coaster observer to Create-based roller coaster builds on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Linear motors fitted to coaster track apply real physical force to carts, so a train can be accelerated, slowed or held. A linear motor controller programs sequences that set the behavior of each section, and a launch trim can hold a cart at a stop until a redstone pulse releases it. Because each step only advances once a cart clears the motor, complex multi-pass rides with swings and reversals can be built.
The coaster observer samples physics ticks and reports exact speed in blocks per second through an analog redstone signal, which can be read by displays and monitoring systems. A splashdown scoop mounted on carts drags through submerged water to slow a train, and deeper water produces harder braking. Regenerative braking feeds power back into the system when carts slow down. The mod depends on Create and Create: Coasters Simulated, both of which must be installed alongside it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Servers and players both need it to run the rides.
Key features
Linear motors on track
Motors placed on coaster track accelerate, brake or hold carts using real physical force.
Motor controller sequences
A controller block sequences motors so each section of a ride can have its own behavior.
Launch and stop trim
A launch trim holds a cart at a stop until a redstone pulse releases it.
Coaster observer readout
An observer block reports exact cart speed in blocks per second as an analog redstone signal.
Splashdown scoop braking
A scoop on the cart drags through water to slow the train, with harder braking in deeper water.
Regenerative braking
Slowing carts feeds power back into the system, and heavier trains draw more power on harder launches.

How it compares
Coasters: Magnetized is a NeoForge 1.21.1 coaster addon under the MIT License and is not open source; it is client and server as well. MineCoasters is a NeoForge coaster mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, not open source, and also needs both sides. Coasters: Engineered covers the 1.21.1 build only, with motors, controllers and a speed observer. Coaster Track Styles adds track appearances for Simulated coasters on NeoForge 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and is not open source either.
