Railcraft Reborn in All the Mons

Railcraft Reborn is a port of the classic Railcraft mod to modern Minecraft. This pack ships version 1.2.10 of it.^[1][2]

It's all about building a proper railway industry. You get a working signalling system, cart linking and locomotives, multi-block structures, loaders and unloaders, and a lot of new track types. It also reworks all the rail recipes, so even getting rails becomes a small project.^[1]

Where it sits in the quest book

The pack's quest book has a "RailCraft" chapter in the Tech group. It is chapter 54 of 70 and holds 50 quests. Twenty of those are only in the quest book itself, so read the chapter in game for the rest. The quest book does not place this mod on the ATM Star path.^[3]

The chapter branches out from its start quest like this:^[3]

• Straight after the chapter start you find "Rails!" quest (rails), "Tracks!" quest (track parts and track kits) and "'Switch em up'" quest (spike mauls).^[3]
• Rails! leads on to the track types: "Abandoned Tracks" quest, "Strap Iron Tracks" quest, "Reinforced Tracks" quest, "Electric Tracks" quest and "High Speed Electric Tracks" quest.^[3]
• Tracks! leads to the track kit quests: "Track Kits for moving entities" quest, "Track Kits for using Redstone" quest, "Track Kits for stopping Carts" quest, "Track Kit One Way" quest and "Track Kit Routing" quest.^[3]
• The spike maul quest leads to "Wye Tracks" quest and "Junction Tracks" quest.^[3]
• The quest called Machines leads to "Water Tank" quest, "Blast (Steel) Furnace" quest, "Crusher" quest, "Coke Oven" quest, "Boilers" quest and a quest in "RailCraft". After Boilers comes "Steam Oven" quest.^[3]
• The quest called Carts 'N' Trains! leads to "Steam Locomotive" quest, "Cart Dispenser" quest, "Item Loader" quest, "Item Unloader" quest, "Fluid Loader" quest, "Frames" quest, "Tunnel Bore, Bore Head" quest and "Carts and Tracks" quest.^[3]

Railcraft is all about rails. Tracks are made by crafting railbeds from ties and combining those railbeds with rails. Some of the materials come from machines, so you build a few of those before the fancy stuff. Here's the order I'd go in, following the RailCraft quest chapter.^[3][4]

Manual Rolling Machine

The Manual Rolling Machine is your small crafting machine for many Railcraft materials (a quest in "RailCraft"). If a recipe can make more than one result, it keeps crafting while you look at it. If you walk away mid-craft, it aborts and returns the items to your inventory, and you have to craft the last one by hand. The mod's advancements describe it as something you build out of alloys.^[3][5]

Coke Oven

Next is the Coke Oven ("Coke Oven" quest). It turns coal into coal coke and creosote oil, and logs into charcoal and creosote. Creosote matters because the track guides say tracks use it, and coke is a fuel the steam boiler's solid fueled firebox can burn. You need 26 Coke Oven Bricks, placed as a 3x3x3 cube with the center hollow. It's done when it all merges into one texture and you can open its GUI.^{[3][6][7][8][9]}

Blast Furnace for steel

The Blast Furnace ("Blast (Steel) Furnace" quest) turns iron into steel and also gives granulated sand. It takes 34 Blast Furnace Bricks in a footprint of 3 by 3 and a height of 4, with the two center blocks hollow. Steel is worth getting early because many recipes in the pack use it, for example the steel plate Frame recipe and the Advanced Item Loader, whose recipe the pack changed.^[3][10]

Your first tracks

The "Rails!" quest quest asks you to craft the rail types. The upgraded ones need more special items, and some of those come from machines. For a cheap start, try the Abandoned Track ("Abandoned Tracks" quest). It needs less wood and creosote than iron tracks and can stay suspended over gaps. The catch is that carts can derail if they go too fast on it.^[3][7]

Once you have tracks, make an Iron Spike Maul ("'Switch em up'" quest). The pack's quest says spike mauls switch the mode of normal tracks, and the mod's advancements say they turn regular tracks into turnouts, wyes and intersections.^[3][5]

Track kits

Track Parts ("Tracks!" quest) are used to make track kits, which you craft together with rails to get special rails. The quest says these cover stopping the train, moving it, and emitting redstone. A good first one is the Buffer Stop Track Kit, an end cap that stops carts from rolling off the end of a line.^[3][11]

Train and water

After that, the Steam Locomotive ("Steam Locomotive" quest) is the most basic locomotive. It runs on furnace fuel and needs a constant supply of water. A Water Tank ("Water Tank" quest) handles the water. It's a hollow 3x3x3 cube of Water Tank Siding that collects water on its own. How fast it refills depends on the biome and on whether it can see the sky.^[3][12]

Railcraft Reborn is built around multi-block machines that you assemble out of special blocks, plus a signalling system and a few tools that tie everything together. This section covers how those machines behave in this pack, as far as the in-game guide and the pack files explain them.^[1][13]

Multi-block structures

The Coke Oven is a hollow 3x3x3 brick structure that turns Coal into Coal Coke, or Wood into Charcoal, and gives Creosote Oil as a byproduct. It is built from 26 special bricks, and two ovens can't touch: you need at least one tile between them. It holds 64,000 units of Creosote Oil, which you can pull out in Buckets or Glass Bottles at 1,000 units each. Filled Buckets don't stack, filled Bottles do.^[6]

The guide warns that coking is slow, so if you plan to make a lot of rails you will probably want several ovens.^[6]

The Blast Furnace is a hollow 3x3x4 brick structure that converts Iron Ingots into Steel Ingots. It uses 34 special bricks, and like the Coke Oven it can't be built right next to another one.^[14]

The Crusher is a 12 block structure with a 3x2x2 footprint, and it also needs a gap between neighbouring Crushers. The Steam Turbine uses the same 2x3x2 pattern, so you can plan both with the same layout.^[15][16]

The Steam Oven is a 2x2x2 structure that cooks items when you feed it Steam. It handles up to 9 items at once, and a batch takes 256 ticks (12.8 seconds).^[17]

The Water Tank is a hollow 3x3x3 structure built from Water Tank Siding. It collects water passively and holds 400 buckets, which you can use to refill Steam Locomotives or other water consumers. How fast it refills depends on the biome, the weather and whether the tank can see the sky, so the guide advises against running your railway through the desert.^[12]

Crushing and rolling

The Crusher has its own recipe type. In this pack the coal block crushing recipe and the coal ore crushing recipe are both changed from the mod's versions. The coal ore recipe is shown below.^[10]

Coal, Diamond, Coal Dust, Sulfur DustChanged by the pack

The Crusher also grinds Charcoal into Charcoal Dust and turns Abyssal Brick Slabs and Abyssal Paver Slabs back into Abyssal Cobblestone. From there, a stonecutter makes Polished Abyssal Stone out of the cobblestone. The pack also adds a Create sandpaper polishing recipe that turns Abyssal Stone into the polished version.^[10]

Rails come from a separate recipe type, rolling, with 35 recipes in the dump. An example is Advanced Rail, which comes out 8 at a time. The mod's advancements describe a manual rolling machine built out of alloys.^[5][10]

Steam and power

A Steam Boiler is built in layers. First comes the Firebox, either Solid Fueled (furnace fuels such as Charcoal or Coal Coke) or Liquid Fueled (Creosote Oil, Bio-Fuel or Fuel). On top of it goes a Boiler Tank, Low Pressure or High Pressure. High Pressure tanks make twice the steam, while Low Pressure tanks are generally more efficient.^[9]

The Firebox size sets how big the tank can be. A 1x1 Firebox takes a single cubic meter tank, a 2x2 takes 8 or 12 cubic meters, and a 3x3 takes 18, 27 or 36. Bigger boilers use fuel more efficiently, so one large boiler beats several small ones.^[9]

The Steam Turbine turns Steam into electrical power, but only with a Turbine Rotor installed. A rotor should last several real-time days of constant use, and you repair it by combining two rotors with the vanilla repair mechanic.^[16]

To see how much Railcraft Charge is moving through machines, wires or electric tracks, use the Charge Meter. It records network usage over a 5-second period.^[18]

Fluid storage

Iron Tanks come in 3x3, 5x5, 7x7 and 9x9 footprints, with a height from 4 to 8 blocks. You lay a frame of Iron Tank Wall blocks, then fill the top, bottom and sides with any mix of Wall, Gauge or Valve. To stack tanks, put Valve blocks in the centre where they touch.^[19]

Loading and automation

The Crowbar is your main tool here. Right-clicking a Detector Block, Cart Dispenser or Advanced Loader turns it to face the side you clicked, and it also removes them. In this pack the recipe for Advanced Item Loader is changed from the mod's version. Its recipe is below.^[10][20]

Signalling

Signals work in pairs. Use the Signal Block Surveyor to pair two Block Signals into a Signal Block: right-click one signal, then the other. Use the Signal Tuner to pair a Controller with a Receiver in the same way, and right-click either one to clear the pairing.^[21][22]

• Signal Receiver Box: once paired with a Controller, its GUI lets you pick which Signal Aspects emit a Redstone current.^[23]
• Signal Controller Box: placed next to a Receiver Box, it sends that Receiver's Aspect to a paired Receiver. Several Controllers can sit next to one Receiver, so one Block Signal can drive multiple Switch Motors or Distant Signals. A controller can't be linked to two receivers.^[24]
• Analog Signal Controller Box: emits a signal type based on received redstone strength. For example, GREEN at power 5, RED at 0 and OFF at 15, set in its GUI. Analog Signal Controller Box has a pack-changed recipe.^[10][25]
• Signal Capacitor Box: placed next to a Receiver or Relay Box, it emits a redstone pulse of adjustable length. 'Rising Edge' pulses when the neighbour starts emitting, 'Falling Edge' holds the pulse for the set time after it stops, which creates a delay.^[26]
• Signal Block Relay Box: pairs with up to two other Block Signals or Relays, works as an end cap or extender, and lets a Signal Block wrap around corners. It can also emit Redstone and act as a Controller.^[27]

The recipe for Block Signal is also changed by the pack.^[10]

Pack differences worth knowing

The pack sets the biome modifiers that add Railcraft's lead, nickel, silver, sulfur, tin and zinc ores to type none, so those ores aren't added to world generation. Sulfur still shows up as Sulfur Dust from the coal ore crushing recipe above.^{[10][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]}

The pack tags Abyssal Stone and quarried stone as stones, so they work wherever a recipe asks for the common stones tag.^[39]

Railcraft progression in this pack follows the RailCraft quest chapter. It opens with "Rails!" quest and "Tracks!" quest, while a separate machines branch unlocks the multiblocks you need for better materials. The tiers below go from cheap tracks to high-speed electric ones, then to the carts and machines that use them.^[3]

Step 1: Machines and materials

Better rails need materials, and many of them come from the Rolling Machine. The Manual Rolling Machine autocrafts while you keep looking at it. If you walk away, it aborts and gives the items back, and you have to craft the last recipe by hand. The Powered Rolling Machine removes that limit, but it needs power.^[3]

Step 2: Rail and track tiers

The Rails! quest accepts the Wooden Rail, Standard Rail, Advanced Rail, Reinforced Rail, High Speed Rail or Electric Rail. Rails are combined with railbeds to make the actual tracks. These are the rolling recipes for the main rail tiers:^[3][4]

• Abandoned Track is the cheap, decorative option. It can bridge a few blocks without support, but carts risk being thrown off the rails.^[3]
• Strap Iron Track is also cheap. It is much slower than the other tracks, but it has no risk of derailment.^[3]
• Reinforced Track is the upgraded normal rail. It is slightly faster and doesn't blow up.^[3]
• High Speed Track is faster still, but it needs track kits to build up speed, and corners are risky.^[3]
• Electric Track is for Electric Locomotives. It is powered by Frames, and touching it hurts you.^[3]
• High Speed Electric Track combines the high-speed and electric requirements: speed boosts plus Frames to power it.^[3]

Step 3: Track kits and special tracks

Track Parts are the base of every track kit. You can make them from bronze nuggets in the Rolling Machine. Kits are crafted together with rails to make special rails for stopping, moving or signalling carts. The quests group them as redstone kits, stopping kits, cart-moving kits and mob-moving kits. "Track Kit One Way" quest, "Track Kit Coupler" quest, "Track Kit Routing" quest and "Track Kit Whistle" quest each have their own quest.^[3][10]

For junctions, craft a spike maul: Iron Spike Maul, Steel Spike Maul or Diamond Spike Maul. Using it on normal tracks switches their mode to turnout, wye or junction, each with its own quest. After those, a quest in "RailCraft" adds the Switch Track Lever, which you use to move between lanes.^[3]

Step 4: Carts, power and locomotives

The Steam Locomotive is the basic locomotive. It runs on water and furnace fuel, and it needs a constant water supply. A Water Tank Siding tank is a hollow 3x3x3 structure that collects water passively and holds 400 buckets. How fast it refills depends on biome, weather and whether it can see the sky.^[3][12]

Steam comes from a boiler: a firebox with a low or high pressure boiler tank on top. A 1x1 firebox supports only a 1x1 boiler, and bigger fireboxes support bigger tanks. The steam then powers the Steam Oven and the Steam Turbine, which needs a Turbine Rotor.^{[3][9][16][17]}

For electric rail, craft a Frame first, since Frames carry power to the tracks. The Electric Locomotive then runs off the Frames under the Electric Tracks and only works on them.^[3][10]

• Cart Dispenser dispenses carts onto the track when it gets a redstone signal. Train Dispenser is the upgrade that can dispense a whole locomotive from a set pattern.^[3]
• Item Loader and Item Unloader must sit above the track. The advanced versions work from any side, and the pack changes their recipes.^[3][10]
• Fluid Loader fills locomotives and carts from above the track, and Fluid Unloader does the opposite.^[3]
• Tunnel Bore needs a bore head, fuel and rails. The heads come in four styles: iron, bronze, steel and diamond.^[3]

Creative Locomotive

The Creative Locomotive has its own quest in the Creative chapter. The quest says it has no recipe by default. The pack adds one, and the locomotive runs without fuel or energy, so it only needs rails.^[10][40]

Railcraft Reborn mostly stands on its own, but this pack wires it into other mods in a few places. The links below come from in-pack recipes, and in every case the pack added or changed the recipe, so don't expect the Railcraft defaults.^[10]

Creative Locomotive

The Creative Locomotive has a custom recipe added by the pack. It combines Railcraft's Charge Motor with vanilla items and items from other mods, such as Unobtainium Gear and ATM Star Shard, so you can't make it from Railcraft materials alone. The pack also has a quest for it: "Creative Locomotive" quest.^[10][40]

Steel from the Blast Furnace

Railcraft's Blast Furnace is the multiblock that turns iron into steel, and you build it from 34 Blast Furnace Bricks. In this pack, blasting Railcraft's steel tools, steel armor or the Iron Crowbar gives you the Steel Ingot from AllTheOres. The pack changed these blasting recipes. The quest for this machine is "Blast (Steel) Furnace" quest.^[3][10]

One example. The other steel tools, the armor pieces and the Iron Crowbar are changed the same way by the pack.

Railcraft Reborn has quests in three chapters of the pack. Almost all of them sit in the "RailCraft" chapter. Two more are tucked into "Building Tips" and "Creative". Most quests ask you to obtain an item, so you mostly progress by crafting the thing the quest names.^[3][40][41]

Rails and special tracks

The chapter branches from its starting quest into two lines. "Rails!" quest accepts any one of the mod's rails, from Wooden Rail up to Electric Rail. Its text warns that upgraded rails need special items, some of which come from machines. "Tracks!" quest asks for Track Parts, which the quest says are used to craft special rails.^[3]

After Rails! you pick up one quest per track type, in this order of unlock:^[3]

• "Abandoned Tracks" quest wants Abandoned Track. The quest warns that carts can be thrown off these tracks.^[3]
• "Strap Iron Tracks" quest wants Strap Iron Track. They are slow but carry no derailment risk, according to the quest.^[3]
• "Reinforced Tracks" quest wants Reinforced Track.^[3]
• "High Speed Tracks" quest wants High Speed Track, which the quest says needs track kits to build up speed.^[3]
• "Electric Tracks" quest wants Electric Track. These are powered by frames.^[3]
• "High Speed Electric Tracks" quest wants High Speed Electric Track, which needs both speed boosts and frames.^[3]

The junction-style tracks start with "'Switch em up'" quest, which asks for an iron, steel or diamond spike maul such as Iron Spike Maul. Then come "Turnout Tracks" quest, "Wye Tracks" quest and "Junction Tracks" quest. Each accepts a track variant of that type. Finally a quest in "RailCraft" asks for the Switch Track Lever and unlocks once all three are done.^[3]

Track kits

Everything here unlocks after Tracks! and each quest takes one of several kits:^[3]

• "Track Kits for using Redstone" quest: Activator Track Kit or Detector Track Kit.^[3]
• "Track Kits for stopping Carts" quest: locking, gated or buffer stop kits, such as Locking Track Kit.^[3]
• "Track Kits for moving Carts" quest: transition, booster, control, throttle or launcher kits.^[3]
• "Track Kits for moving entities" quest: embarking, disembarking or dumping kits.^[3]
• "Track Kit One Way" quest: One-Way Track Kit.^[3]
• "Track Kit Routing" quest: Routing Track Kit.^[3]
• "Track Kit Coupler" quest: Coupler Track Kit.^[3]
• "Track Kit Whistle" quest: Whistle Track Kit.^[3]

Machines

Several quests are gated behind a quest called "Machines". It isn't described in the sources I have, so I can't say what it asks for. Behind it you find:^[3]

• "Water Tank" quest: the Water Tank Siding, built as a hollow 3x3x3 for steam locomotives.^[3]
• "Blast (Steel) Furnace" quest: the blast furnace, which needs 34 Blast Furnace Bricks and turns iron into steel.^[3]
• "Coke Oven" quest: the coke oven, which needs 26 Coke Oven Bricks in a hollow 3x3x3.^[3]
• "Crusher" quest: the Crusher, a 3x2x2 build that needs power.^[3]
• "Boilers" quest: a boiler tank plus a firebox, for example Solid Fueled Firebox. It then leads to "Steam Oven" quest and "Steam Turbine" quest.^[3]
• a quest in "RailCraft": the Manual Rolling Machine, followed by a quest in "RailCraft" for the Powered Rolling Machine.^[3]

Carts and trains

The last group unlocks after a quest called "Carts 'N' Trains!", which also isn't described in my sources. It covers the Steam Locomotive ("Steam Locomotive" quest), the cart family ("Carts and Tracks" quest and "New Carts" quest) and "Frames" quest for the Frame. Once you have frames and electric tracks, "Electric Locomotive" quest asks for the Electric Locomotive.^[3]

The loading and dispensing quests come in pairs, where the second unlocks after the first:^[3]

• "Item Loader" quest, then "Advanced Item Loader" quest.^[3]
• "Item Unloader" quest, then "Advanced Item Unloader" quest.^[3]
• "Fluid Loader" quest, then "Fluid Unloader" quest.^[3]
• "Cart Dispenser" quest, then "Train Dispenser" quest.^[3]
• "Tunnel Bore, Bore Head" quest for a bore head, then "Tunnel Bore" quest for the Tunnel Bore.^[3]

One quest has no prerequisite listed: a quest in "RailCraft" asks for the Seasons Crowbar. The quest says its modes change a locomotive's look, including Halloween and Christmas designs.^[3]

Quests in other chapters

In "Building Tips", "Railcraft Stones" quest asks for Abyssal Stone or Quarried Stone. It unlocks after a quest called "Stone Blocks".^[41]

In "Creative", "Creative Locomotive" quest asks for the Creative Locomotive and unlocks after "Fully Automated ATM Star". The quest text says it runs without fuel or energy and only needs rails.^[40]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

The only Railcraft Reborn config file I can confirm for this pack is the client one, so everything below is about visuals and messages. These options don't change how the rails, carts or machines work.^[42]

Client options in this pack

• locomotiveLightLevel is set to 14, and the allowed range is 0 to 15. It controls how bright your locomotive is when the Dynamic Lights mod is present. Setting it to 0 turns locomotive lighting off.^[42]
• ghostTrainEnabled is set to true, so Ghost Train rendering is on. Change it to false to disable it.^[42]
• polarExpressEnabled is set to true, so Polar Express (snow) rendering is on. Change it to false to disable it.^[42]
• showBetaMessage is set to false, so the message telling you that you're on a beta version is turned off.^[42]

Unverified The sources don't show the mod's default values, so I can't say which of these settings the pack changed. I also found no common or server config for Railcraft Reborn in the sources, so I can't confirm any gameplay options.

All the Mons 1.3.0 ships Railcraft Reborn 1.2.10. The mod has been in the pack since 0.3.0-beta or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the modpack.^[2]

Railcraft Reborn 1.2.10

This is the version you're playing in this pack, and the mod's own changelog lists these gameplay-facing changes:^[2][43]

• The world spike minecart now loads a 3x3 chunk area, expanded from what it did before. This fix closed issue #342.^[43]
• Fixed player list deserialization in the logbook, which closed issue #341.^[43]
• Updated translations came in through the mod's Crowdin integration.^[43]

The rest of the 1.2.10 entries are behind-the-scenes housekeeping: a moddevgradle update, a Gradle wrapper update to 9.2 with build config changes, a small refactor, a stray semicolon removed and a version bump. There is also a commit called "Remove harvest check", but the changelog gives no detail on what it affects in play.^[43]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for Railcraft Reborn were available, so changes between individual All the Mons releases are not covered here.
