Create: Infinite Railways

Create: Infinite Railways is a revamp of the railway generation from Railways Untold. It is an addon to Railways Untold and requires it to be installed.

⚠️ Use a new world! This mod builds railways directly into your world and reshapes terrain around them. Installing it in an existing world may damage or overwrite structures you have already built.

Especially designed for use alongside large-scale terrain generation mods such as Tectonic or Lithosphere, Create: Infinite Railways brings railway networks to sprawling landscapes.

With this mod, villages are connected by railway lines, with stations, winding tracks, stone viaducts, and tunnels. Routes follow the landscape, finding their way through valleys, crossing rivers, and passing through hills and mountains.

Features

• Railways connecting villages.
• Routes that follow the terrain.
• Stone arch bridges and viaducts.
• Tunnels, embankments, and retaining walls.
• Optional double-track lines and passing stations.
• Automatically placed train signals.

Dependencies

• Create 6.0.10+
• Railways Untold 1.2.2.

Integration

Create: Steam ’n’ Rails

When Steam ’n’ Rails is installed, generated railways can use its wooden tracks, and generated signal posts use its semaphore signals. The integration is currently limited. Support for generating railways with narrow or wide gauge tracks is planned for the future.

Create: Pantographs & Wires

When Pantographs & Wires is installed, the mod can generate overhead wires and supporting masts along railway lines and station tracks. Trains equipped with pantographs can run beneath the wires, bringing electrified railways into your world.

Terrain and village mods

Create: Infinite Railways is designed to work with any world generation mod, especially large-scale terrain mods such as Tectonic and Lithosphere.

Any village mods (such as Towns and Towers) should also work, if they correctly use Minecraft’s village tag.

Railways Untold settings

To achieve these results, Create: Infinite Railways overrides a substantial part of Railways Untold’s railway generation behaviour. As a result, several Railways Untold options and settings will have no effect while Infinite Railway is installed.

Known issues and limitations

• Network connections: The railway network is intended to be fully connected, but oceans can prevent some connections. Island stations and coastal stations may end up as dead ends.
• Overhead wire supports: Catenary mast placement still has issues in tunnels and around switches, especially on double-track lines.
• Steam ’n’ Rails support: Integration currently includes wooden tracks and semaphore signals. Narrow and wide gauge railway generation is planned but is not yet available.
• Structure avoidance: Avoidance of structures is not fully implemented, so railways may pass through some generated structures. Villages are protected.
