<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
[[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts|« Go back]]
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Introduction ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
TrainCarts features several different ways to spawn trains. These are:
* [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/VanillaMinecarts|'''Vanilla Minecarts''']] - Players can spawn TrainCarts Minecarts. The page details how to have Vanilla Minecart behavior as well.
* [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Signs/Spawner|'''Spawn Sign''']] - Spawns trains onto the track above in response to Redstone or automatically on a period
* [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Train Spawn Chest|'''Train Spawn Chest''']] - A portable item with which players can pick up trains and spawn them onto the track
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Spawn Pattern ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Both the train spawn chest and the spawn sign support a spawn pattern syntax. With this syntax a train can be composed of multiple different carts or saved trains, and then spawned as a whole.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For example, this [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Signs/Spawner|spawn sign]] spawns a 3-minecart train:
</div>
{{sign|[train]|spawn|mmm}}

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
And this command gives the player a [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Train Spawn Chest|train spawn chest]] that spawns a 3-minecart train:
<pre>
/train chest mmm
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Saved Trains ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Players can use <code>/train save [name]</code> to save the train they are [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Editing|editing]] as a ''saved train''. This name can then be used in a spawn pattern.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* When matching a saved train name, the longest name that matches is selected
* Saved train names can be listed with command: <code>/savedtrain list</code>
* Saved trains can be imported or edited with command: <code>/savedtrain [name] [subcommand]</code>
* Saved trains can also be included in a resource pack loaded on the server, like what the ''TrainCarts Demo Resource Pack''
* '''Note:''' Saved train names are not the same as named trains (<code>/train rename</code>). There is no relation between the two.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For example, this [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Signs/Spawner|spawn sign]] spawns a train named MyTrain:
</div>
{{sign|[train]|spawn|MyTrain}}

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
And this command gives the player a [[Special:MyLanguage/TrainCarts/Train Spawn Chest|train spawn chest]] that spawns a train named MyTrain:
<pre>
/train chest MyTrain
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Saved Spawn Patterns ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Instead of saving a train, a (long) train spawning pattern can be saved instead with <code>/savedtrain [name] spawn [pattern]</code>.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For example:
<pre>
/savedtrain MyTrain spawn 4[50%m 50%s] p
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When spawning ''MyTrain'' this will spawn 4 random rideable Minecarts or Minecart with chest, followed by a single Minecart with Furnace. This is especially useful when patterns are too long to fit on spawn signs. These patterns can be used recursively.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Repetition ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Multiple train names or Vanilla Minecart names can be put following each other, no space required. When matching the names, it matches the longest saved train name that matches the pattern.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Amount Prefix ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Digits can be put in front of names to repeat that pattern a number of times. If you want to spawn ''MyTrain'' three times, you can put <code>3MyTrain</code>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Grouped Sequences ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Patterns can be grouped so that the amount prefix repeats the entire group, instead of only the one train or cart specified.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For example, if you want to spawn a locomotive followed by red-green-blue carriages repeated four times (12 carriages), you can put:
<pre>
4[carr carg carb] loco
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Random ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Use the % weighted prefix to randomly have a pattern choose between different types of trains to spawn. This follows a syntax [https://worldedit.enginehub.org/en/latest/usage/general/patterns/#random-pattern similar to the WorldEdit syntax].
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For example, to spawn a locomotive followed by 12 carts of random red, green or blue carriages:
<pre>
12[33%carr 33%carg 33%carb] loco
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
These prefixes can also be applied to grouped sequences to create variable-length trains. This will spawn a locomotive with randomly 0, 1 or 2 carriages:
<pre>
[33%[] 33%carb 33%[carr carg]] loco
</pre>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The percentage total is normalized, so in the above examples using 50% or 200% would have resulted in the same behavior.
</div>
