Suspended Railways/Monorail
by NC0_NX
Suspended Railways/Monorail adds a suspended railway system to Minecraft Forge, with rails that hang beneath their track and a railcar that runs underneath them.
What it does
The mod is a standalone suspended railway system for the 1.20.1 build of Minecraft. Its railcar is a new entity that hangs underneath the rails, and the track is built from special suspended rail types that only work with that railcar. Suspended rails are based on powered rail and are placed by a rail construction block, and curved rails need their own crafting recipes. Vanilla minecarts do not run on these rails, and the system does not depend on Create. Structural blocks, including steel beams, let builders assemble realistic elevated track systems.
The mod is inspired by the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn in Germany and is aimed at futuristic transportation builds, skylines, industrial areas and elevated metros. Its blocks and items follow survival-friendly recipes, and a decorative block for supports is optional. Installation needs U-Team Core, which is required by the mod. The mod is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20.1 alone. Its latest file is 1.1 for 1.20.1, released on 2025-12-08 on the alpha channel. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
