English crossing decor
by oreonwhitby
English crossing decor brings UK level crossing equipment into NeoForge 1.21.1, with lights, barriers and bells for railway crossings.
What it does
The mod adds level crossing lights, non-functional barriers and bells, based on the basic blocks used to build semi-accurate UK level crossings in Minecraft. Most of the content is purely decorative. The one functional exception is the wigwag light, which animates when activated. Two bell types are activated by redstone, and the crossing lights and barriers can be placed to match a scene.
Blocks include AHB and MCB style barriers, a Penguin barrier, an abandoned Penguin barrier, and weathered or abandoned versions of several blocks for run-down crossings. Some signals and signs are included as well. Planned additions named by the author are working lights and barriers, road markings, track grade crossings, traffic lights, other road infrastructure and station infrastructure, but these are not in the current release.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, because the blocks are placed and rendered on both sides. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author has said the work is for personal use and that the mod was released because few mods cover UK crossing equipment.
Key features
Level crossing lights
Crossing lights include a wigwag mode that swings the lamps, the one functional decoration in the set.
Redstone bells
Two bell types sound when a redstone signal activates them, for crossings that need an audible warning.
Barrier variants
AHB, MCB and Penguin barriers, plus an abandoned Penguin barrier, give several styles of crossing gate.
Weathered blocks
Weathered and abandoned versions of several blocks suit disused or run-down crossings.
