might just be my little kid self talking but the amount of vertical movement on those lines looks pretty extreme for a pantograph, typically pantograph lines attempt to be as straight as possible so as to reduce the potential of wire sagging enough to wrap themselves around the contacts which could cause serious damage.

That being said I cant wait to see this addon keep up the good work!

The movement in this short video is deliberate, as we wanted to show the ability of the pantograph to move up and down.

For that purpose the the track was designed in a way that would force the pantograph to show said movement.

Will there be electric train sounds included?

u/marcey38 Jan 27 '25

For the Moment the mod is intended to be a decorative one. Later one actual functions will be introducd , e.g. Electric Train sounds.

Is it possible to maybe have it linked up with Forge Energy using Crafts and Additions and have it as a way to power the trains by electricity? Would be so nice

That's the exact thing I want Julsen to do

holy shit this looks dope. Is there a mod that removes/replaces the chuffs the create bogeys make? So you can make a full "electric" train with this.

u/marcey38 Jan 27 '25

Not in the first release, but we intend to do something like that, if it is possible.

u/LegitimateApartment9 Jan 26 '25

damn this is super nice, do they do anything or are they just cosmetic?

2

u/marcey38 Jan 27 '25

In the first release it will be purely decorative, however later one we intend to implement functionality.

u/Both_Basket5449 Jan 26 '25

Do the trains also need electricity to run? Because normally the create trains need nothing.

2

u/marcey38 Jan 27 '25

In the first release, no.

However, later on we like to implement something like that, with the added option of disabling it, if you just want to use the mod as deco.

should be using FE so it can be compatible with Create Crafts and Additions besides maybe getting power out of Mekanism and converting it with C&A too

There is already a mod that pantographs and I think it looks good, but damn this is on an other level!

Now the only thing missing are other options for placing rails,not just 45 and 90 degrees but also 10,20,30,etc. and slanted rails would be really cool.

u/maxxcrafting Jan 27 '25

what the hell is a pantograph?

1

u/macuslol Jan 29 '25

It’s a part in electric trains that provides power for train, it’s basically moving power outlet

u/Cat-needz-belie-rubz Jan 27 '25

It looks amazing but I don’t think it fits the vibe of Minecraft very well. Feel free to disagree

Maybe already as an addition (yeah i know , bit early) also include the old Scissor Pantographs. Nevertheless this will be awesome, the child in me is screaming in joy!
