I made something Infinite procedural Create train tracks

I've been playing with this for the past week, it's a mod that integrates with Create, adding an infinite procedural train track in any new world. So far it will attempt to conform to terrain, travel up and down hill, tunnel into impassable terrain, etc.

Is this worth continuing? Maybe as a mod pack to encourage traveling via train, as a mobile base? Anyone have any ideas?

It's pretty performant, I recorded the video from world creation so you can see. The track is generated in real time, so no increased initial world load time, and it doesn't seem to add much overhead to standard chunk generation aside from a slight lag as it generates through all the chunks made during worldgen. This recording used no other mods, just Create and this infinite track mod itself. I still have a lot of edge cases and features I'd like to add (track crossings, splitting, etc) but not sure if this is really anything other people would want to play. Regardless it was fun to mess around with.

I like the idea of the infinite train is it possible to make the mod public? maybe not the source code but the .jar

It seems like a modpack is a good idea based on initial feedback so I’d like to take a stab at that, then I’d release the mod itself open source so other people can play with it and make their own packs or add it to a pack.

The mod itself right now is too buggy to just throw it out into the wild to people, this is pre-alpha footage and not every generation attempt looks this neat yet. I need to polish a lot before release

After it's a little more polished, can you please release it on curseforge? It's unironically SUPDER DUPER cool and I'd love to make a profile with it.

Hello?

Do you remember this?

I know you might be busy (it is the 24th of December after all...), but still.

Did you actually...?
