MTR Breakdowns
MTR Breakdowns is a Fabric addon for Minecraft Transit Railway that adds random mechanical and electrical failures to MTR trains, so routes need upkeep as well as planning.
What it does
Breakdowns are added to MTR trains as they run. Traction failures cut power so a train stops completely, brake failures leave a train struggling to stop or locked in place, and door failures stop the train from departing normally. When Automatic Train Operation is in use, a failure also disables ATO until the train is repaired.
An Operations Control Center role can trigger failures by hand, repair trains and change global settings through advanced breakdown commands. Server owners can choose whether breakdowns affect trains in the world only while players are active, which limits the work done when nobody is around. Full English and Spanish support covers translatable system messages, and console logging is kept clean.
The mod requires Fabric API and Minecraft Transit Railway. Files target Fabric for 1.20.1 and run on the client and server together, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Traction failures
A traction fault cuts power to the train, so it stops on the track and cannot move until repaired.
Brake and door failures
Brake faults leave a train struggling to stop or locked in place, and door faults block a normal departure.
Manual fault triggers
Advanced commands let operators trigger failures, repair trains and adjust global settings.
Active-player limit
Breakdowns can be restricted to times when players are active, which reduces server work during idle periods.
