Creating a Resourcepack

Creating a resourcepack can allow players to change station names, routes, and colors. To get started, download the sample resourcepack here.

What You'll Need

The following pieces of software are highly recommended.

• 7-zip - used to open and create .zip archives
• Notepad++ - an advanced text editor
• Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP - tools to edit .png images

Getting Started

After you've download the sample resourcepack, open it. There are a number of locations where you can change the station names and routes. Navigate to the following files or folders.

• \assets\mtr\lang folder: Here you will see all the predefined stations used on the Station Name block. At the bottom, you will see the destinations of the different lines used on the Platform Screen Doors and the Automatic Platform Gates.
• \assets\mtr\textures\routes folder: Here you will see the graphical routes used again on the Platform Screen Doors and the Automatic Platform Gates.
• \assets\mtr\textures\StationName1.png file: This file contains all the stations used in the Station Name blocks.
• \assets\mtr\textures\Map.png file: This file is the map of the whole train system. Edit this file to display a map of your own system.
• \assets\mtr\textures\displays\lightrail folder: This folder contains all the currently defined light rail routes and their displays. For example, if you want to create a light rail route 101, create the following files and put them into this folder.
• MTR-101-1.png file: Southbound front display
• MTR-101-2.png file: Northbound front display
• MTR-101-3.png file: Southbound side display
• MTR-101-4.png file: Northbound side display
• MTR-101-5.png file: Southbound interior side display
• MTR-101-6.png file: Northbound interior side display
• MTR-101-7.png file: Rear number display

That's pretty much it! Copy this .zip file into your \.minecraft\resourcepacks folder and launch the game!
