You can include luggage cars in front or at the back, but to build the platform, you need a large open area. For the test experiment, the platform only fits 3 passenger cars. or a simple humble station with a 5-car light rail. You can have a massive central terminal with many platforms and on top, have ferry piers and light rail and etc. Firstly, determine the size and structure of your station. The construction of the station is one of the most important parts.

Note: all of these amounts may vary on the size of the station. 500+ building material ( cobblestone, stone, brick, dirt, etc.).1+ stone pressure plate(s) (Use wooden pressure plates for ticket collectors shown below).100+ iron ingots (For rails and tools).64+ gold ingots (For powered rails depending on your decision).200+ redstone dust (You may need more depending on how big it is).

You will need the following materials to build this station: Here is how to make a working train station and powered rail system. Note: This design requires lots of materials, so it is not recommended for a survival world that has been recently started. When a passenger is present, the tripwire will activate and the cart will move in another route away from the station. The tripwire toggles the minecart between 2 different routes, the cart either moves in circles, awaiting a passenger. This is recommended for beginners.Īutomated Single-Cart Two-way Small Station (Tripwire) Also, this can be implemented on any server, it doesn't require weeks of experimenting. It is possible to minimize the number of powered rails used. These designs are more complex and not as annoying. Bounding boxes, that might intersect each other might be finely tuned. As long as the trains stay away from each other, including turns and merging tracks by more than 2 blocks, trains will be fine. I've done tests like traveling far away, going to the nether and coming back. I put up a new test track on my OneDrive above called 'Traincraft New World'.

2 blocks between rails is to close and on turns it's more like only 1 block between. One issue that's not related, is trains in opposite directions, passing each other on a corner can steal cars from one another and pull the train apart. This is confirmed and this issue is closed. The linking problems and chunk loading problems will go away once you create a new map. Even going from one stable build to another you risk corruption, even if it's minor. Compiling and using test builds will eventually corrupt the NBT data and Block ID's on the map you are using.
