MTR Shanghai Wetro Addon
by TKP30
MTR Shanghai Wetro Addon gives Minecraft Transit Railway stations and trains a set of Shanghai Metro decorations, from walls and floors to signs, barriers and ticket gates.
What it does
The addon is built for Minecraft Transit Railway, which must be installed alongside it, and it needs Fabric API on Fabric. Its textures are taken from real Shanghai Metro stations, and the blocks cover walls, floors, pillars, barriers, longer signs and similar fittings. The stated aim is to let players build metro systems in the style used in mainland China, with more colorful buildings.
The addon is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and Forge, with one release per game version covering 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4; the latest build for 1.19.4 is dated 2025-08-24. The author also notes that the addon name uses a deliberate joke: a Shanghai Metro logo was once pasted reversed, so SM reads as SW, and railfans call the bus maker Sunwin Metro in the same spirit.
