International Metropack Retro Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to download extra files or does the mod come with all the trains?
The default download includes only tracks and tunnels from the MP Base system. You must select and download specific train model files from the download page to add the Soviet metro cars to your world.
What mods do I need installed for this to work?
You need the main MTR (Minecraft Transit Railway) mod and the NTE add-on installed. Without both, the trains and resource pack features will not function.
How do I get the custom train sounds working?
The sounds are included in the resource pack and activate automatically once you've installed the correct train model files. Make sure your resource pack is enabled in your Minecraft settings and that you've selected the audio options you want in the mod configuration.
Can I use these trains with other railway mods or just MTR?
This resource pack is designed specifically for the Minecraft Transit Railway mod and requires both MTR and NTE to function. It will not work with other railway mods.
Why don't the station displays show information on my trains?
Only specific train models in this pack include working displays for station information. Check the guide for your chosen train model to see if it supports displays, and ensure you've configured the display settings correctly.
What's the difference between the different train model files I can download?
Each file contains different Soviet metro train variants from various post-Soviet cities, with different colors, designs, and some with unique features like working displays. Download the guide 'Selecting and Installing Train Models' to see which trains are in each file.
Do I need to build special tracks for these trains or can I use regular MTR tracks?
The MP Base system included with this pack provides special metro tracks designed for these trains. While you may be able to use other MTR tracks, the MP Base tracks are optimized for authentic Soviet metro aesthetics.
How do I build underground tunnels that look like real Soviet metro stations?
Use the tunnel blocks included in the MP Base system and refer to the 'Creating Realistic Underground Metro Tunnels' guide for design tips. The pack includes tiled walls and other decorative blocks to match the vintage Soviet aesthetic shown in the screenshots.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Custom sounds and detailed train models can impact performance depending on your system. Try disabling custom sounds if you experience lag, or reduce the number of active trains in your world.
Can I mix different Soviet metro train models on the same railway line?
Yes, you can use multiple train models together on the same tracks. However, check the 'Building Your First Soviet Metro Station' guide for best practices on creating visually cohesive stations when mixing different train variants.
