EPIC Train Update in Minecraft! Learn to Build Trains

Hey everyone and welcome back to my next video create just dropped a new update create 0.5 the full steam update let’s go ahead and dive into it now before i officially begin i want to go ahead and mention that tomorrow i’m going to drop a video diving into how to fully create

The train uh everything that you could ever do with all of the trains inside of this update will be in tomorrow’s video because it’s gonna be a super long video uh today i’m gonna show you how to make a basic train that you can kind of mess

With and still transport items and do things like that but tomorrow we’ll go through everything and anything about that so that’s my little disclaimer but to start off the very first brand new item is the display board now the display board is basically a gigantic sign that allows us to display different

Types of information with a little bit of automation inside of it as well now what’s really cool is that we can go ahead and use a name tag so something we would go ahead and place this out of an anvil to put some text on it and then we

Can right click on this display board to go ahead and place down text uh this is really cool because you can also use a piece of dye to go ahead and dye this text or your bare hand to go ahead and remove this text so great for just

Putting up some signage inside of like a main lobby or something like that that you’re able to go ahead and customize to whatever you would like now we’re also able to use something called a display link that allows us to basically display uh information that’s going to change

Over time so what i mean by that is that we could take this display link right click on our display board and then place it on like a depot a speedometer or a cuckoo clock and it will display the information based off of that block

So you can see on this depot if i place down an anvil in just a few seconds you’ll see that it says now names colon anvil now if we go ahead and place down a motor on this cuckoo clock or the speedometer in a few seconds it will

Actually display the exact rpms that the speedometer is set to and also the exact time of day that is currently set now if we right click on these display links you can customize the information to your liking so you can see here i can go ahead and fix my typo by changing this

To name and it will change to name colon anvil or i can go ahead and select the certain line that i want to set it to so you can see i can erase the second line set to the third line where i’ve actually made some color

As well as you can change all different information based off of the type of information or the type of block that it’s set to also with this display link it doesn’t only work on display boards you can also use it on signs you can see

If i put down a dark oak sapling it will actually change to name colon dark oak on this sign the next gigantic brand new thing that is inside of this game is steam engines now steam engines are now the late game power source for the

Create mod and all it takes is a bunch of campfires placed below a fluid tank also these campfires can be blaze burners as well which is worth noting and inside of this fluid tank has to have some water so basically boiling water using the steam for power now i’ve

Just hooked up to a fluid tank you’d have to hook it up to a lake or something like that and then off of this fluid tank you would place down these steam engines and then just the shaft off of it and that will create this moving basically steam engine and it

Turns into a powered shaft that generates some power for us something that’s worth noting is that if you have your fluid tank three high that means you can have three full powered steam engines so if you make this five you could have five if you make it one

You can have one so just kind of keep that in mind you could use those glasses or the goggles to go ahead and tell the speed as well just to kind of help you out also another new item called the steam whistle this will go ahead and

Blow as soon as the fluid tank is at max capacity of steam and if you go ahead and use a lever next to it you can flick it and it will make a sound as soon as it’s at full capacity what’s really cool is that you can use a wrench to cycle

Through three different sounds uh so depending on how annoying you want the sound to be you can go ahead and select that our next brand new thing is the metal girders metal girders are kind of more of a cosmetic thing but i figured it was worth pointing out that

They work really well with the train tracks as i’m about to show in a few seconds as well as you do have the ability to put a shaft through them so just kind of keep that in mind there’s also a train casing definitely it could be used for cosmetics but it’s also a

Big building block and is also used for all the train creation that i’m about to cover in a few seconds speaking of trains we can now begin talking about like train tracks pretty self-explanatory allows us to drive trains on there but a nice little kind of neat thing to think about is that

When you right click a train track you can right click again and it will actually drag out the train track depending on how you would like your train track to go you can also use this for turns it will tell you as soon as it’s a perfect turn and allow you to

Place down a train track that basically allows it to turn it’s also really cool is that train tracks can automatically start to go up hills and then if you also take a block such as this girder and place it in your off hand it will actually build the girders or whatever

Block is in your offhand as kind of like rails below your uh actual train tracks pretty cool for kind of building something like this where we have two different trains one going under one going underneath and you want some type of platform and that works for slabs

Blocks as well as of course the girders and stuff like that that are in this game another amazing cool addition is that trains will also be able to go into the nether and continue to drive into the other dimension so as you can see the train track goes right through and

Immediately goes right into the nether and it will also auto place this as long as the dimensions already generated as you bring the train track to there so the next thing i’m going to dive into is basically how to make a train it’s going to be super basic once again tomorrow

I’m going to drop a full video diving into all the details but this will allow you to make a train today that will drive around collect items such and such uh pretty basic actually so all you need to do is place down some train track and

You’re gonna go ahead and grab this new item called the train station so this is actually gonna make a train station for you you’re gonna look at the track and keep in mind which way the arrow is facing that’s the way your train is going to drive so we’ll go ahead and say

In this direction we’ll go ahead and right click place down the train station and then we’re going to right click on this train station at the top you can go ahead and name it so we could call it rocket14’s train station and then we can go ahead and click create new train

Now once we do that we’re going to get this blue color on the train track so we’re going to take a train casing and we’re going to go ahead and right click now that’s gonna turn right into a small bogey it’s basically a area for basically wheels for the

Train and then you can also look behind it you’ll see more blue color depending on how long your track is and that allows us to place down multiple more casings for multiple more sets of wheels or basically train cars once we do that we got to go ahead and

Use some blocks to build some type of platform uh so we can see as i place it right around in this area we’re going to now made a platform and we’re also going to want to place down train controls this allows us to basically drive the train now you can

Only you can put down just one of them on your train that will allow you to drive in one single direction or like this if you put them on both sides you can go in both directions now on the track last but not least you’re going to

Want to make sure that everything is glued to your train so you can see if i go ahead and glue these guys the train controls and those blocks below that and also glue glue this right to that platform right there our entire train is now glued together and is now one object

Once we do that we should look at the train uh station right here you should see the amount of bogies that you have created so those are the train casings that you’ve placed down and turned into those wheels we have two so we’re good to go we’ll click assemble train if you

Get any error it will explain exactly what you did wrong but for us we didn’t get any errors so we’re good to go we can name our train so we’ll call it rocket14’s train hit the check mark and you know you’ve done this correct if you can’t actually highlight any of the

Blocks that’s because it’s now turned all into one single object now if we right click on the train controls it’s going to say now controlling rocket14 strain so we can use w to move forward we can use s to move backwards you’ll see the xp bar showing the speed of your train one

Thing that’s worth noting is you’ve basically built a very basic train that allows you to drive around now if you want to go ahead and power up your train you’re going to want to go ahead and put down a chest or a barrel something with a fuel source inside of

It and it will deplete that fuel source as it drives one other kind of good note is that an item vault will not have its items depleted so if you want to go ahead and transport tons of logs throughout an entire minecraft world you could totally

Do that you could also go ahead and glue seats to it so that you can go ahead and sit down and drive and et cetera et cetera it’s basically all up to you now the next couple blocks i want to go ahead and cover is going to be all

Covered kind of at once and then we’ll go ahead and drive a train around it and activate all the blocks at once so the very first thing i want to cover is an ability to allow mobs to drive trains for you i know sounds ridiculous right

So basically if we use a train schedule this allows us to automate our train now if we right-click it’s going to look really complicated but all this is saying is make the train go to 100 so drive it as fast as you possibly can go to the station that’s called my

Station wait five ticks and then once again put the throttle to 100 and send it so for us we’re gonna go around in a circle and it’s gonna stop at this train station and continue now once you’ve done this train schedule you can go ahead and right-click on a mob that’s

Sitting inside of a seat and in front of train controls and that will make that mob go ahead and do it for you so if you want to make an army of parrots around your world drive trains for you you could do that now now before we do that

I want to go ahead and talk about some other different objects or blocks that we have as well the very first thing is we have trained observers this acts just as a regular observer except it’s attached to the train track as you can see and once the train goes through it

It will go ahead and send out a redstone signal now a regular train observer uh if it does not have a filter set to it will send a redstone signal as soon as any train goes across the train track as opposed to if you set a filter to let’s

Say a water bucket it will check the train to see if it has a water bucket if it does it will then send a redstone signal now a block that we’re going to talk about a ton tomorrow is the train signal now our train signal is an ability to

Basically be like a a stop light for trains so if we have multiple trains going on different tracks all going to collide in a certain area it would stop certain trains let other trains go and so on and so on you’re able to use a red

Nixie tube to attach it to it and that will give some type of signaling basically towards it but all of this will probably be covered a little bit more tomorrow because of how advanced this gets really quickly but before we leave this little section if we go ahead

And right click the train schedule onto our parrot you’ll see he gets a little conductor hat he’ll begin to drive you’ll see our lights lit up right over there he’ll go over to our train station he’ll slow down he’ll stop the flag goes up and he’s successfully stopped at the

Train station there’s a couple other new items that have been added into the game the very first one is the placard it’s basically like an item frame with a little bit more of a unique addition so if we place an item inside of the placard and we right-click it will

Actually give a redstone signal if it’s the same item that is inside of the placard as is inside of your hand there’s also three new ladders there’s an andesite ladder a brass ladder and a copper ladder all of which are gonna be really cool designs for the trains and

Speaking of trains there’s also now a train door and a train trapdoor as you can see with the train door it slides and that also works for the new doors that are the framed glass door and the trapdoor you can now have a sliding glass door inside of your world there’s

Also a bunch of new rose quartz blocks there’s also a bunch of new rose quartz blocks the first two are decorative so there is a block of rose quartz and in rose quartz tiles and the third one is rose quartz lamps what’s really unique about this is if

You send it a redstone signal it will hold its redstone signal forever kind of unique i don’t know when i’d use this but i’m sure the redstoners out there will know you can also use kind of a cool little unique redstone technique by putting three different rose quartz

Lamps down or multiple rose quartz lamps and they will fight over the redstone signal so if you place one it will remove it from the other ones or there won’t be any of them lit up all at the same time so maybe there could be a

Really cool way of like building like a calculator or something like that with multiple redstone lamps fighting off for a certain light to make a certain number appear or something like that there’s also a new item called sturdy uh sturdy sheets sturdy sheets are used to craft

Train schedules and train casings as you can see right from here uh a brass casing plus a sturdy sheet equals a train casing and you can see crafting a sturdy sheet and paper equals four train schedules also a pretty big removal is furnace engines they’re no longer inside

Of the game i definitely did not expect that one but i guess it kind of makes sense we now have steam engines so furnace engines are kind of no longer needed but this is now kind of our late game power source is the steam engine also worth noting all of the casing

Recipes have now been changed you can see they’re all using deployers now such as logs plus copper equals a copper casing and so on and so on and last but not least pulse repeaters and pulse extenders now go ahead and invert if you go ahead and right click on them and

That is pretty much it i’m going to go ahead and leave it here there are hundreds of more changes that i have not listed inside of this but they were all pretty minor to my knowledge if i change my mind or if someone else disagrees

With me let me know in the comments and i’ll put a pinned comment with all of the different changes that i maybe have missed inside of this video tomorrow i’ll go ahead and cover all of the train knowledge that you need to know so if you’re interested in that video make

Sure to subscribe i’ll go ahead and drop it tomorrow and other than that i’ll go ahead and leave down below the github changes link so you can see everything that has possibly changed inside of the update down below uh but without that thank you so much

For watching and i’ll see you guys all in the next one
