World PIDS Pack MTR 4 JCM Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need Joban Client Mod for the PIDS displays to work?
Yes, Joban Client Mod is required for the board layouts to display correctly. Without it, the custom PIDS screens will not render properly in your world.
How do I place a PIDS display in my transit station?
Use the MTR 4 rail system to create a station, then place the custom PIDS block from the resource pack in your desired location. Configure it through the block's interface to select which display style and schedule information you want to show.
Can I use PIDS displays from different countries on the same server?
Yes, the pack includes displays from dozens of real-world transit networks across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, so you can mix and match regional styles throughout your server.
Why is my PIDS display showing blank text or no arrival times?
Check that your MTR 4 station and train schedules are properly configured, as the PIDS uses JavaScript scripts to pull real-time schedule data. Ensure Joban Client Mod is installed and that the display block has access to valid route information.
Do the boards show actual real-time transit data or just my server's schedules?
The PIDS displays show your server's train and bus schedules configured in MTR 4, not live real-world transit data. The realistic appearance is based on real-world screen designs, but the content comes from your custom routes.
Which PIDS styles work best for European-themed transit servers?
The pack includes authentic options like Munich S-Bahn, Hamburg Subway, Berlin S-Bahn, Vienna Subway, London Bus indicators, Dutch train boards, and SBB Swiss displays, all modeled after real European networks.
Can I use this resource pack on a multiplayer server or only single-player worlds?
The pack works on both private worlds and multiplayer transit servers, as long as all players have the resource pack and required mods installed.
What happens if I don't configure the JavaScript schedule scripts correctly?
The display will not show accurate arrival times or route information. Follow the guide on configuring real-time schedule information to ensure your scripts are pulling data from the correct MTR 4 stations and routes.
Are there PIDS displays for North American transit systems?
Yes, the pack includes Washington WMATA screens and San Francisco BART displays, along with other regional styles suitable for North American transit builds.
How do I choose between different display styles for the same region?
Refer to the guide on choosing the right PIDS style for your region, which explains the differences between each available screen type and helps you match them to your station's aesthetic and era.
