With the Attachment Editor you can customize the appearance of your trains. Create custom cart models in Blockbench and ride inside them in-game. Large models are possible by adding multiple sections of a model as separate (Armorstand) item models. TrainCarts will do the animating for you and move the parts as a whole.

Animations
For custom ride enthusiasts, trains can be fully animated. This means you can have doors that open and close, carts that spin around, or even create theme park rides like Ferris wheels, spinners and merry-go-rounds!

Download
TrainCarts has a demo resource pack that you can download that includes a couple of train and rollercoaster cart models. You can already play around with these without having to delve into Blockbench yourself
The locomotive and carriages were made by Nullblox. Maxi made the different color rollercoaster carts.

Trains don't just follow a line or are limited by Minecraft's own Minecart physics. They are simulated in real-time with gravity physics, rail switching and wheels that track the rails.
New Speed Limits
It is possible to make trains move much faster than the usual 0.4 blocks per tick. Zoom! The default (configurable) maximum speed limit is 5 blocks per tick (300kph!).
Keep Chunks Loaded
Trains can be set to keep chunks loaded. Then they act as moving chunk loaders, keeping themselves and a small area around them loaded and animated. This way they can run autonomously, no matter if no players are nearby.
Waiter
Make trains automatically slow down or stop completely when another train or occupied mutex zone is up ahead. An acceleration and/or deceleration can be set to make trains stop and start realistically to avoid obstacles.

Properties
There are lots of other properties to change the train's behavior, and more are added all the time.

The new models are bound to durability values of the golden pickaxe. You can spawn these trains using:
- Spawn Sign
- Train Spawn Chest Item: /train chest [name]
- Create it in the attachment editor. You can find the items to use with /train model search
- loco - Spawns locomotive without animations
- carr / carg / carb - Spawns red/green/blue carriages without animations
- loco_anim - Spawns locomotive with animated wheels and pistons
- carr_anim / carg_anim / carb_anim - Spawns red/green/blue carriages with animated wheels
- ferris - Animated Ferris wheel, use animation 'spin' to control it (WARNING: VERY LAGGY)
- spinner - Animated spinning ride with 3 controllable animations ('spin', 'turn' and 'arm')
- rolr / rolg / rolb - Rollercoaster carts with 4 seats
Spoiler: Saved Train Configurations
Extracting
The pack zip file includes saved train configurations at _assets/traincarts/saved_train_properties/tcdemo.yml_.
When the resource pack is configured in server.properties this file is automatically detected by TrainCarts and the trains inside are made available under /savedtrain list and such.
If for some reason this mechanism doesn't work (because you are merging resource packs or such):
1. Extract this tcdemo.yml yourself and place it at plugins/Train_Carts/savedTrainModules/tcdemo.yml
2. Run /train globalconfig reload --savedtrainproperties
Normally you don't have to do this.

- TC-Hangrail: Trains floating below iron fences and also below/above other kinds of blocks (by TeamBergerhealer)
- TC-Coasters: Rails in the air without requiring actual rails blocks (by TeamBergerhealer)
- SmoothCoasters: Minecraft Client Fabric mod that, if installed, smoothens armor stand animations and improves the first-person camera view
- TCTicketShop: Use sign interaction to buy train tickets (by DefinitlyEvil)
- LightAPI: Powers the built-in Light attachment. (Use this fork for MC 1.17.1 and below)
- TCJukebox: Plays music for players inside the train using MCJukebox (by melerpe)
- TC-Portals: Teleport trains between servers in a realistic way (by J0schlZ)
- TC-Destinations: Cross-server train destination pagination and helpful clickable commands (by J0schlZ)
- TrainCartsDestinationSelector: Adds clickable signs so players can select train destinations
- Traincarts AdvancedSigns: Adds additional sign types, particularly useful for rollercoaster rides
- TCAnimatronics: Play Animatronics animations with a TrainCarts sign
Spoiler: When some players ride a train, the train glitches out and the player's cart gets stuck in position
NoCheatPlus thinks the player is cheating, because the cart is moving in unintended ways. The cart is teleported back to a valid state causing these strange glitches. To fix this, set the following to false in the NoCheatPlus configuration:
Code (YAML):
checks:
moving:
vehicle:
enforcelocation : false
moving:
vehicle:
enforcelocation : false
Spoiler: I'm on Minecraft 1.16 and players can get out of my playerexit=false train by pressing shift
Sadly, the Minecraft client had a bug in it where the server could not cancel players exiting from vehicles. Updating to Minecraft 1.17+ will fix this again. See also:
SPIGOT-5891
Spoiler: When players are near, trains reach their destinations. With no one near, they don't.
Enable the
keep chunks loaded property of the train.
Spoiler: I created an auto-spawner but trains are piling up somewhere closeby
Enable the
keep chunks loaded property of the train. Trains will otherwise unload in the same spot when no player is near.
Spoiler: When I exit a train, the train disappears
If you have CraftBook installed on the server, this plugin can actually do exactly that. Turn it off in the
CraftBook Configuration.
