Truss bridges are a classic bridge type. They use a truss structure on the upper part of the bridge, sometimes combined with a truss substructure. vlbridger contains different sizes of truss elements, crafted from steel rods. You start to build some steel rods (in VoxeLibre with iron ingots) and start to build truss elements using the steel rods.

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. Install the mod with

or download it from the repo and copy it to the mod folder.
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!
Truss bridge
Truss bridges are a classic bridge type. They use a truss structure on the upper part of the bridge, sometimes combined with a truss substructure. vlbridger contains different sizes of truss elements, crafted from steel rods. You start to build some steel rods (in VoxeLibre with iron ingots) and start to build truss elements using the steel rods.
Placing the truss elements can be a pain. Consider to set e.g. dirt as temporary blocks just to place the truss element. Many truss elements are two blocks wide. Most truss elements are placed starting on the left lower block. Build of those truss elements demands a lot of iron. You will want to have a high yield iron farm first!
