Create: Railway Evolution

by Fizzy_lovely

Create: Railway Evolution adds an AI layer to Create trains, so they detect other trains and players, slow down and reroute around blocked track.

ForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Trains running on the mod's AI handle collision avoidance themselves. They approach obstacles using cargo weight and momentum, brake in graduated steps instead of stopping at once, and find a free branch when the current path is blocked. Trains on adjacent parallel lines operate without interfering with one another, and detected traffic is negotiated at crossings and junctions.

The mod needs Create installed on every loader it runs on. It is available for Forge and NeoForge, with the latest builds dated 2026-04-26 and 2026-08-29. A server has to run it, while players may add it for their own side. The mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 and is not open source, though source code and an issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Collision avoidance

    AI-driven trains detect oncoming traffic and players, then slow or hold to avoid a collision.

  2. Graduated braking

    Trains decelerate in steps that account for cargo weight and momentum rather than stopping abruptly.

  3. Junction rerouting

    When the planned path is blocked, a train searches for a free branch and takes it automatically.

  4. Parallel track awareness

    Trains on neighboring lines keep running independently without interfering with each other.

  5. Status screen

    A train list shows each train's AI status and activity settings, so the state of the network is visible.
