Working Trains
Working Trains lets trains run on tracks in a world, and a separate datapack version adds the same trains to a chosen world.
What it does
The mod adds working trains to Minecraft. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything, and the datapack version covers worlds where a pack is preferred over a mod. Builds cover game versions 1.17 – 1.21.11, with the latest files for 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Working trains
Trains move along tracks on the server, so the mechanic works in a world without any client-side install.
Mod or datapack
Worlds that are created or current can use the mod, while a datapack version suits worlds meant to keep a fixed pack.
Demonstration video
A video and a gallery on the project page show the trains in more detail.
