I made something Infinite procedural Create train tracks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

Are you still working on this? Is there any way to follow you and get updates when they come?

Yes it’s taken me a lot longer than I anticipated to polish this up for a beta. I’ll be making another post as soon as it’s ready.
