Also, determine whether your platform is a side platform or an island platform. You can include luggage cars in front or at the back, but to build the platform, you need a large open area. For the test experiment, the platform only fits 3 passenger cars. or a simple humble station with a 5-car light rail. You can have a massive central terminal with many platforms and on top, have ferry piers and light rail and etc. Firstly, determine the size and structure of your station. The construction of the station is one of the most important parts. Note: all of these amounts may vary on the size of the station.

500+ building material ( cobblestone, stone, brick, dirt, etc.).

1+ stone pressure plate(s) (Use wooden pressure plates for ticket collectors shown below).

100+ iron ingots (For rails and tools).

64+ gold ingots (For powered rails depending on your decision).

200+ redstone dust (You may need more depending on how big it is).

You will need the following materials to build this station: Here is how to make a working train station and powered rail system. Note: This design requires lots of materials, so it is not recommended for a survival world that has been recently started. When a passenger is present, the tripwire will activate and the cart will move in another route away from the station. The tripwire toggles the minecart between 2 different routes, the cart either moves in circles, awaiting a passenger.

This is recommended for beginners.Īutomated Single-Cart Two-way Small Station (Tripwire) Also, this can be implemented on any server, it doesn't require weeks of experimenting. It is possible to minimize the number of powered rails used.

These designs are more complex and not as annoying.
