TC-HangRail
We will no longer continue development of our plugins
We would like to thanx everyone for the support!
Development builds are no longer available after 15-10-2014 00:00
Version: 1.01
Bukkit: 1.7.2 R0.3 (requires TrainCarts v1.54+)
Introduction
The Hang Rail add-on was a TrainCarts request that I liked as well. However, it was a bit too 'different' to just put it in Train Carts (causing everyone that used iron bars as visual styling to get bugs). For that reason, you can install this add-on next to TrainCarts to add minecarts suspended on iron bars.
Other than that the rail is now not below the minecart but above it, there is no change in minecart movement physics. You can make turns, go up and down and can even make X-crossings and T-splits. Everything blends in with other rail types by utilizing the (new) TrainCarts rail API.
Installation
Install TrainCarts and then add the jar file of this add-on to the plugins folder as well. It will automatically register the new available rail type.
Usage
By placing iron bars in a horizontal line you can create tracks. To get a minecart on these tracks, place a normal track leading to it 2 blocks below it. When the minecart leaves the tracks it goes onto the hang rail and stays there. There are no commands or permissions you have to set up: just place the rails and you're done.
TrainCarts signs can be placed on top of the rail, that is, place a block (such as stone, grass, wood, etc.) on top of the rail and attach signs to it. All signs, including stations, spawners, etc, function. Path finding also supports hangrails.
How to show that suspension block above?
You can change the block displayed in the Minecart to be this block. In this case, use the two commands:
/train setblock cobblewall /train blockoffset 48
Similarly, with a blockchanger sign:
[train] blockchanger 48 cobblewall
Examples
Stations and sign usage
Horizontal line with some curves
Slopes
X-crossing (8-track)
Metrics
This plugin sends server count and dependency statistics to MCStats.org. You can (globally) opt out in the PluginMetrics/config.yml file.
Bergerkiller what do you main with traincarts 1.54
i have TrainCarts-1.72.9-SNAPSHOT.jar
that main i can not use it?
because the plugin starts with me not even with BKCommonLib-1.54-SNAPSHOT and crashes when I use all the latest bkcommonlib than crasht my holl traincarts plugin
@yoo2001818 I think it's better to use signs to do any launching. Stations are perfectly capable of boosting (or stopping) trains. You can use the continue station mode and power it so it will boost the cart.
Cool plugin! But I think it's better with booster rail... Like putting booster rail on top, or using glass pane?
@NorbuGames If you haven't already, use the latest build of TrainCarts. Builds before the current latest are likely not to work with it.
EDIT
I did get strange results for very long trains, may require a fix in TC.
EDIT 2
Build #15 of TrainCarts addresses these issues with stations.
I have a problem : my trains are bumping on the rail, De trains don't ride, stations can only stop trains If the train rides on the hangrail it wil crush and only 1 cart comes on the track, By Slopes the Train Spawns Above the Rails. Could you help/fix me/it
@CommodoreAlpha TrainCarts also has this functionality built-in.

I believe CraftBook lets minecarts go vertical with ladders.
Nice !!!! This is what i was waiting for thx ! But maybe it will be fun if the carts could go vertical so we can make a Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang. That would be nice!
This is the best plugin ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
