Additional info for a small number of mods with special consideration of use in VoxeLibre.

Advanced Trains[edit | edit source]

As the minecart system in VoxeLibre is somewhat limited, train enthusiasts will want to try Advanced Trains, a mod adding more sophisticated trains, track systems including automation. This mod was built for minetest_game, but basic functions work in VoxeLibre. An extensive documentation of this mod package can be found here. We will focus in Advanced Trains in VoxeLibre on the differences, functions, that not work (or have to be used differently) and some hints to adapt more of this phantastic mod for VoxeLibre.

Tunnelmaker[edit | edit source]

If you intend to build larger railways, you will want to use Tunnelmaker. To make it work in VoxeLibre, you have to change the mod.conf, as it has 'default' as dependency. This mod helps not only to build tunnels, but generates gravel beds to place to rails on it. Shift + left click opens a menu for a simple configuration, right click adds three blocks of railway (without rails) in the chosen direction.

VLBridger[edit | edit source]

Trains have to pass rivers and valleys – fortunately, there is VLBridger, a mod intended to build impressive bridges. This mod is based on Bridger, written for minetest_game and adds additional Elements to build more realistic suspension bridges. The source to git clone this mod can be found here: VLBridger. The Bridger Tutorial describes the adaptation and explain, how simple and more complex bridges can be built with this mod.

Pipeworks[edit | edit source]

Pipeworks adds a full system for transport of blocks and fluids. Nice mod with a few limitations. Allows to teleport items into remote chests, sorting, autocrafting. Water transport works, but tanks are not functional right now. You have to install the fakelib and basic_materials first. There is a comprehensive wiki for Pipeworks.

Death Position[edit | edit source]

Each of us has experienced the situation to die in the Nether or a fare distant position hard to reach. This mod adds the command /death_pos to be teleported to the last death position. Source to repo.
