NeoMTR
by Zbx1425
With NeoMTR, trains on a server run on a fully automatic and realistic railway system that players can also drive by hand.
What it does
NeoMTR is a fork of Minecraft Transit Railway v3 that covers the whole transit loop: routes, stations, trains and their signage. Server-side train simulation keeps running at low TPS, so trains keep moving when a server is under load. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1, with files for 1.21 and 1.21.1 in the release list.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. The optional YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) dependency adds a configuration screen when installed, but the mod runs without it. Builds of the 300.6.1 line are the current alpha releases for 1.21.1, both dated 2025-05-01, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
The mod started on 2025-03-04 and was last updated on 2025-05-01. Its source code is public, so server owners and developers can read how the simulation and rendering work before installing it.
Key features
Automatic train operation
Trains follow their routes and stop at stations on their own, with no player input needed for regular service.
Virtual manual driving
A manual driving system lets a player take the controls of a train and drive it along the line.
Vehicle sway
Cars move slightly with track curves and speed changes, adding a sense of physical motion to the ride.
Custom destinations and displays
Destination text and the settings for PIDS, map and train displays can each be configured on their own.
Generic one-way gate
A one-way gate block controls passage through a station or track section in a single direction.
