Large railway networks in Minecraft can grind your server's tick rate to a halt, especially when dozens — or hundreds — of trains run simultaneously. Create Threaded Trains Mod by MrJulsen tackles this head-on by offloading all railway network calculations to a dedicated thread, running them in parallel with the main server loop. The result is noticeably smoother performance for anyone pushing the Create mod's train system to its limits, with successful testing reported on setups running 700+ trains alongside 200 mods.
Key Features
- Separate-thread railway processing — All train pathfinding and network calculations run on their own thread instead of blocking the server tick loop, which means other game systems stay responsive even under heavy rail traffic.
- Massive scalability — The mod has been tested with over 700 trains and 200 mods loaded at the same time, making it a strong fit for ambitious modpack builds and large multiplayer servers.
- Tick lag reduction — By parallelizing railway tasks with the main server loop, the mod reduces the per-tick workload that typically causes stuttering in complex train setups.
- Multi-loader support — Available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, covering Minecraft versions from 1.18.2 through 1.21.1.
