In order to use bridger in VoxeLibre, you have to install a fork of the original bridger, vlbridger, in Luanti. vlbridger is still in development, but the actual version works just fine now. This fork replaces the blocks from minetest_game's default by mcl-blocks. vlbridger adds additional blocks for the build of suspension bridges, allowing a more realistic build of the main cable of a suspension bridge.

Trestle bridge

Trestle bridges are well known from some Western movies, as this type of bridge has been used often in the builds of railroads in Nord America. These structures were often made of wood. The main structure for the Trestle Bridge are foundation blocks. As the trestle bridge supports are three blocks wide, you can place 3 foundations – they will fuse to one big foundation element. Place additional foundations with one free block in between, as the sides of the trestle bridge elements are 3 blocks wide. Place now a trestle_support block on each middle block of the foundation. Build up as high you intend to build your bridge. Place now trestle_side blocks on the left and right side between each support element. Complete your bridge by placing trestle_deck blocks on top. Place the first one between 2 supports and add additional blocks on the first one. And you are ready to place the rails!
