Tianjin Metro
Tianjin Metro adds Tianjin subway-themed content to Minecraft Transit Railway, so players can build stations and trains from the real city's network.
What it does
The mod is an expansion for Minecraft Transit Railway. It bundles decorative and transit-themed content drawn from the Tianjin Metro in real life, and it needs Filters API and Minecraft Transit Railway installed alongside it. Cloth Config API is optional and adds its settings screen when present.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because it is a client and server environment. Server owners who run a server should take the SERVER branch of the source code instead of the regular build. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 7 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4, and the latest file for both loaders is 1.1.2 for 1.20.4. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links for the source code and the issue tracker are available. The author states that the mod will not be updated for older Minecraft or Minecraft Transit Railway releases, though the source is public for anyone who wants to continue it.
