Powering and Controlling Your Train

Train Power Sources

Trains require fuel or energy to move. Place a fuel input block on your train (typically at the locomotive) and supply it with appropriate fuel items. The mod supports various fuel types—check your locomotive's requirements.

Basic Controls

1. Right-click the locomotive to enter conductor mode

2. Use forward and backward controls to accelerate and brake

3. Monitor your fuel level in the interface

4. Exit by sneaking or using the exit command

Speed Management

Trains accelerate gradually; don't expect instant movement. On inclines, trains slow down and consume more fuel. Longer trains require more power. Plan your fuel supply accordingly for long journeys.

Automation

For hands-free operation, connect redstone signals to your locomotive. Set up stations with fuel dispensers and automated loading systems. Use Track Switches with redstone logic to create self-routing networks where trains automatically navigate to their destination.
