by Bawnorton

Walkablerails lets mobs pathfind over rails, including modded rails such as those added by Create.

What it does

Walkablerails changes how mobs move across rail blocks. Vanilla mobs generally treat rails as impassable, and the mod reverses that behavior so pathfinding can route them along rail tracks, including rails added by other mods such as Create. The author describes the change as a reversal of Mojang's decision on the related bug report MC-33350, which was closed as working as intended. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Rail pathfinding for mobs

    Mobs can path over rail blocks instead of treating them as obstacles, so routes can follow tracks.

  2. Modded rails included

    Rails added by other mods, such as Create's rails, are covered by the same pathfinding change.

  3. Single codebase across versions

    The author ported the mod from an earlier single-mixin project to modern versions, keeping one implementation across loaders.

What the author says

Allows mobs to pathfind over rails, including modded ones like create's. This reverses Mojang's decision to mark MC-33350 as WAI.
