Schematic by Varnen, published on CreateMod.com. This page lists what it contains; download the file from the creator’s page.

The Astral Express from Honkai: Star Rail.

I tried to make the exterior close as possible without being too complicated nor too simplistic looking. We also tried to make the interior as good but also practical as possible. I didn't include the small connecting walkways for each carriage so you can connect these carriages however you want. I connected mine with a 3-block gap/walkway in between each.

Engine Notes:

  • Fuel for the train can be put inside the barrels next to the main control seat inside of the main engine's front. They are hidden by copycat trapdoors next to the seat. (See images for reference)

  • This engine carriage has a train door at its back as its only entrance/exit. If you want any other entrance/exit paths, edit as you see fit.

  • Controlling the train: If you want to see where you're going, I recommend having your FOV on a high setting and your POV on third person mode. Otherwise, you can still look through the glass in front of the train controls.

REQUIRED MODS LIST FOR REPLICA OF THIS SCHEMATIC:

  • Copycats

  • Chipped,

  • Waterframes

  • Supplementaries

  • Interiors

  • Cluttered

  • Create

If you forgo the mods other than the create mods, you can use normal Minecraft blocks and textures for the iron, light blocks, and seat designs (basically any blocks used merely for design).

NOTE: To make the actual frame of these two train schematics, Copycats, Interiors, and (ofc course) Create are required! You can leave out Chipped and Waterframes as they were used in this build for design/style purposes only (and they were available in our server's custom modpack). Supplementaries is highly recommended to enhance your vanilla MC blocks.

This was made by friends and I during a 3-month cobblemon-centric server that had create, and we're really proud of it. We actually got to use this to go around the server.
If you're planning to have this train go into tunnels or underground (like we did), make sure they're at least 10 blocks wide and 11 blocks high.

OTHER NOTES:

  • This build does use glowstone as copycat block textures so lighting at night may seem a little off. The light from the glowstone can only be seen with shaders. Playing with no shaders does not show you the glow (at least in my experience).

  • Each carriage (engine and passenger) has only 2 bogeys each. These 2 pivot points are comfortable enough even for sharp turns.

Hope you like and enjoy this build as much as we did :)
