Roller Coasters

🎢 [SG] RollerCoaster

Build real, rideable roller coasters in Minecraft Bedrock — loops, corkscrews, banked turns, lift hills, launches, multiple trains, and theme-park signs to go with them.

Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.130+ · Behavior + Resource pack (.mcaddon) · No experimental toggles needed

✨ Features

• 🛤️ Track on any face — floors, walls and ceilings, so loops, helixes and corkscrews just work
• 🔩 Two styles — Steel (8 paint colours) and Wooden (classic woodie look)
• 🚃 Trains of 1–4 cars that ride with real physics — speed, g-forces, roll-backs
• ⛓️ Lift hills, launches and brakes — just put a block under the track
• 🚉 Stations that brake, load and launch trains by button, lever or redstone
• 🔀 Switches to split and merge track
• 🚦 Block sections so several trains can share one coaster without crashing
• 🪧 Billboards and 💡 Marquee light signs (with scrolling text!) to name your rides

🚀 Quick Start

1. 🚉 Place a Coaster Station on flat ground — it builds a 6 × 2 station with a loading platform.
2. 🛤️ Lay track out of the station. Pieces line themselves up with the track you're attaching to.
3. 🔁 Bring it back round to the other end of the station to close the loop.
4. 🚃 Right-click the station with a Coaster Cart and pick 1–4 cars.
5. 🧍 Sit in a car, then right-click the loading platform (or flip a lever next to the station) — you're off!

💡 Put a Chain Drive under the first piece of your lift hill so the train has something to climb with.

🧱 The Pieces

🛤️ Track

Every piece comes in Steel and Wooden. Steel and Wooden track never connect to each other — build each coaster in one style.

Steel	Wooden	Piece	What it does
		Coaster Station	Builds a 6 × 2 station: brakes, loads and launches trains
		Loading Platform	Part of the station — right-click it to launch
		Straight	The basic piece
		Flat Curve	90° turn on the flat
		Slope Start	Flat track starting to climb
		Slope	45° climb or drop
		Slope End	Levels the track out again
		Inside Curve	Floor → wall (the inside of a loop)
		Outer Curve 90	Over the edge of a block (drops, loops)
		Outer Curve 180	Over the top of a pillar and back down
		Tunnel Corner Roll (L / R)	Barrel roll inside a 2 × 2 tunnel
		Beam Corner Roll (L / R)	Corkscrew around a 2 × 2 column
		Lane Shift (L / R)	Steps one lane sideways (used in rolls)
		Bank Transition	Leans the track into / out of a banked turn
		Banked Curve	Tight leaning turn
		Wide Banked Curve	Big sweeping leaning turn
		Wide Banked Corner	Corner block of the wide curve
		Diagonal Straight	Runs at 45° across the grid
		Diagonal Curve	Turns onto / off the diagonal
		Switch	One track in, two out — flip it with the Wrench or redstone

↔️ Left or right? Bank Transition, Wide Banked Curve, Diagonal Curve and Switch pick their hand by themselves — sneak while placing for the left-hand version. Corner Rolls and Lane Shifts come as separate Left and Right pieces.

⚙️ Blocks under the track

Place these underneath (or behind) a track piece — they work with any piece, Steel or Wooden.

	Block	Effect
	Chain Drive	Pulls trains uphill and stops roll-backs (Wrench: 0.5 – 5 m/s)
	Booster	Launches trains up to 25 m/s
	Brake	Slows trains down
	Section Break	Holds a train until the track ahead is clear (for multi-train coasters)

🔧 Tools & cars

	Item	Use
	Coaster Wrench	Station settings (launch speed, direction, physics, track paint) · flip switches · chain speed · rotate pieces · edit signs
	Coaster Cart	Right-click track to place a train (pick 1–4 cars). Right-click a car with a dye to paint it
	Coaster Train	Hit a parked train to pick the whole thing up as one item — it keeps its paint

🚉 Stations

• 🎛️ Wrench the station for settings: launch speed, direction, physics or constant speed, and 🎨 paint the whole steel coaster in one go.
• 🔴 Launch with the loading platform, a button, or a lever. Leave the lever on and trains go lap after lap.
• 🛬 Arriving trains brake and stop at the front, ready to go again.

🚦 Running more than one train

• Put a Section Break under the track to split the coaster into sections. A train waits at a Section Break until the section ahead is empty.
• Rule of thumb: N trains need at least N + 1 holding points (stations + Section Breaks). The station tells you if you don't have enough.
• With 2+ trains, trains never stall on open track — they creep forward to the next holding point.
• 🔙 Recall all trains (station Wrench screen) brings everything safely back in.

🪧 Signs

	Billboard	Marquee Sign
Look	Smooth bold letters on a coloured board	Bulb light board (yellow or red)

Modes	—	Scrolling (Stopped / Slow / Mid / Fast) or Still: Two Lines

• 🔨 Break any part to remove the whole sign and get the item back.
