Vanilla Train

Vanilla Train lets you create and explore your own custom trains using only vanilla blocks in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Build detailed locomotives and carriages, then walk freely on them as they move along the rails. This addon introduces a new level of immersion and creativity to minecart travel before similar features arrive in the game natively.

Installation

Import the addon into your Minecraft Bedrock environment. If you have a previous version installed, please manually remove all old addon files from Minecraft before adding the new version to avoid import errors.

How to Use

1. Place a Bogey: Start by placing the Bogey item on a straight rail section.
2. Define Your Train Structure: Use the Wrench tool to select two points encompassing your train build.
3. Create the Train: Name your train and confirm to transform the structure into a functional, drivable train.
4. Walk and Ride: Drive your train and freely walk around on it while it moves, exploring all carriages.
5. Connect Multiple Minecarts: Use the Lead item to link minecarts together, adjusting spacing as desired.
6. Manage Your Trains: The Minecart Manual lets you view, manage, and disassemble your created trains.
