EnvironmentClient, Server

Create Railways Navigator is an add-on for Create on NeoForge, Fabric and Forge that brings real train navigation to your rail network. It adds a route-searching navigator, upgraded display boards and new schedule instructions. It is required on both client and server, so a multiplayer world needs it installed on each side.

Loaders and versions

  • NeoForge: Minecraft 1.20.1 to 1.21.1. The newest build requires Create and DragonLib; some builds for 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 require Create.
  • Fabric: Minecraft 1.18.2 to 1.20.1. The newest build requires Create, Fabric API and DragonLib; some builds for 1.20.1 require Fabric API, Create Fabric and DragonLib; some builds for 1.20.1 require Create Fabric and DragonLib; some builds for 1.18.2 to 1.20.1 require Create Fabric.
  • Forge: Minecraft 1.18.2 to 1.20.1. The newest build requires Create and DragonLib; some builds for 1.18.2 to 1.20.1 require Create; some builds for 1.18.2 need no dependencies.

What it adds

  • Navigator: search for routes between two stations on your rail network, with departure times, delays and other journey details.
  • Advanced Displays: improved versions of Create's display boards for trains and stations, showing platform, line and delays. They can also sit on the trains themselves to show the next stop or the terminus.
  • Train Separation Instruction: spaces your trains evenly along a route.
  • Prioritized Destination Instruction: a more capable take on schedule wildcards.
  • Schedule Sections: define the terminus of a line.

Together these make a rail network feel closer to a real timetable app than to a bare schedule block.

Installation

  1. 1.Install the loader that matches your pack. The guides for Fabric and Forge or NeoForge walk through it.
  2. 2.Add Create and the libraries listed above for your loader.
  3. 3.Pick the file for your Create release. Files with a C6 suffix are compatible with Create 6. Files without the suffix are compatible with Create 5, unless Create 6 is the only release available for that Minecraft version.
  4. 4.Put the mod's .jar and every dependency .jar in the mods folder, on the client and on the server, then launch with the loader's profile.

The trade-off is the setup weight. Every player and the server need the same add-on and its libraries, and the features only pay off once you already run a Create rail network with named stations.

Which Create release does Create Railways Navigator need?

It requires Create, or Create Fabric on older Fabric files. Files with a C6 suffix are compatible with Create 6.
