Build and walk on your own custom trains in Minecraft Bedrock! Design unique trains with vanilla blocks, walk around while they move, and connect multiple minecarts.
Build and Walk on Your Own Functional Train—Before Create comes to Bedrock!
Welcome to a new approach to Minecraft transportation—the VanillaTrain Addon! If you've ever wanted more from minecarts than just sitting in a fixed seat, now you can design, build, and operate customizable trains that you can actually walk around on while they're moving, adding new possibilities to your railway projects.
Supported Block Types
Build with a variety of vanilla blocks! Currently supported types include:
- Planks & Slabs: All varieties from Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Bamboo, Crimson, and Warped.
- Glass Blocks: Clear glass and all 16 stained glass variants.
- Decorative Blocks: Ladders, Bells, Campfires, and Soul Campfires.
About This Early Test Version
This is my first test release (v0.0.1). I'm excited to share this new way to interact with trains in Minecraft and I welcome your feedback to help me improve.
Key Features
- Build Custom Trains: Design your own locomotives and carriages using supported blocks. Create anything from a steam engine to a modern metro, then turn your creation into a functional, drivable train.
- Walk Freely On Moving Trains: Once assembled, your minecart isn't just a vehicle you sit in—it's a moving platform. Walk between carriages, enjoy the view, and experience the train movement that Create players enjoy—now bringing that experience to Bedrock Edition.
- Straightforward Assembly: Hold the Bogey and interact with a minecart. Use the Wrench to define your train’s structure, confirm your selection, and your creation becomes operational.
- Connect Minecarts: Use the Lead item to connect minecarts into trains. Adjust connection stiffness for different spacing between minecarts.
- Manage Your Trains: Use the Minecart Manual to view and manage your created trains. Disassemble trains when needed.
- Multiplayer Friendly: Build and operate trains with friends. Transport players and explore together on moving trains.
How It Works
- Place a Bogey: Start by placing the Bogey item on a straight rail.
- Define Your Structure: Use the Wrench to set two coordinates around your build.
- Confirm and Create: Name your minecart and compile the structure into a functional train.
- Ride and Walk: Drive the train and walk around on it while it moves.
- Connect and Manage: Use the Lead to connect trains and the Minecart Manual for management.
No Experimental Settings Required!
Achievement-friendly and ready to play—just install and start building your own walkable trains without affecting your vanilla progress.
Warning
This addon is in early testing (v0.0.1). You may encounter bugs. To prevent train data loss, always save and quit your world properly through the game menu. Force-closing the game may have serious consequences. I appreciate your reports and patience.
