Overview

Immersive Railroading (IR) is a massive transport mod for Minecraft (1.16.5, 1.12.2, and others) that replaces the simplistic vanilla minecart system with a realistic, life-sized railroading experience. It is built on real-world physics, featuring detailed 3D models and a flexible track-laying system. The mod allows for the transport of players, items, fluids, and even mobs across vast distances.

Core Features

  • Life-Sized Models: Trains are scaled to real-world dimensions, dwarfing the player and standard Minecraft blocks.
  • Physics-Based Movement: Weight, momentum, friction, and gravity affect how trains accelerate, brake, and handle slopes.
  • In-World Assembly: Instead of a crafting table, rolling stock is assembled directly on the tracks using components and tools.
  • Multiple Gauges: Support for various track widths, from tiny model trains to massive broad-gauge systems.
  • Resource Pack Support: The mod is designed to be expanded with community-made resource packs that add hundreds of new locomotives and cars.
