🚂 Railway Evolution v1.0.8 — The Vanilla Edition Railway Evolution 1.0.8 is the definitive optimization update. We’ve stripped away the complexity to achieve peak performance. This is the final stable build for Forge 1.20.1, as development will now shift towards newer versions of Minecraft in the coming weeks.

🛠 What’s NEW in v1.0.8 (Vanilla Refactor): 🚀 Extreme Optimization: We’ve removed over 28 redundant files and 300+ lines of bloated code (Dispatcher, Heatmaps, Network Packets). The mod is now lighter, faster, and more stable. Experience 120+ FPS with 10+ active trains on 32-chunk render distance!

🧠 Refined AI Controller: The train intelligence has been completely overhauled. We’ve eliminated the heavy v1.0.7 dependencies, leaving only the essentials: Graduated Braking and a highly optimized pathfinding logic.

📦 Lightweight Performance: By removing the global registry and complex network syncing, we’ve reduced server-side impact to near zero. No more lag spikes on high-speed rail lines.

🛡️ Core Safety System: Player detection, whistle alerts, and emergency braking are now hardcoded into the base AI, ensuring reliability without the need for external managers.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Final 1.20.1 Release: This is the last planned update for Forge 1.20.1. No new features will be added to this version.

The Future: Development is moving forward! Expect updates for newer Minecraft versions starting in the following weeks.

Clean Slate: Due to the removal of the v1.0.7 Dispatcher system, old config files may be incompatible. A fresh install is recommended.

🚦 Railway Evolution v1.0.7 BETA — The Dispatcher Update! 👁️🛰️ v1.0.7 elevates traffic management to modern metro standards! Your trains are no longer just moving; they are coordinated by the "Eye of God." We've implemented a global dispatching system to eliminate collisions once and for all.

✨ What's NEW in v1.0.7: 👁️ Global Dispatcher ("Eye of God"): Centralized monitoring system. Every train now reserves its path in advance. If a segment is occupied, the AI automatically triggers smooth deceleration, preventing accidents without the need for manual signaling!

🚦 Smart Siding (Conflict Resolution): Head-on collisions on single-track lines are a thing of the past! The Dispatcher analyzes oncoming traffic and automatically routes lower-priority trains to the nearest siding to let oncoming traffic pass.

🛰️ Smart Path Reservation: New route planning logic. Trains "negotiate" right-of-way using the 1xCodeteam global registry.

⚙️ Under the Hood (Optimization): 🚀 Extreme Performance Boost: We’ve refactored AI logic ticks. Calculations for secondary systems (Highbeams, Greetings, Sensors) now run every 5 ticks. This saves up to 60% CPU resources!

🎢 Smooth Braking Physics: Updated deceleration algorithm. Upon detecting an obstacle or path reservation, the train sheds 15% speed per tick, ensuring a soft and realistic stop.

🌐 Network Sync 2.0: Improved Server-to-Client data transfer. The Dispatcher broadcasts the network state every 20 ticks for perfect synchronization.

✅ Why Update? v1.0.7 makes your railway truly autonomous and safe. This is our most massive technical update yet, maintaining high FPS (only ~5 FPS impact with 10 active trains!).

🚂 Railway Evolution v1.0.6 — The Autonomous Pilot Update! 🤖💡 v1.0.6 introduces next-gen AI tech to your tracks! Your trains have gained "vision," autonomous navigation, and perfect docking precision. 1xCodeteam is pushing the limits of railway autonomy.

✨ What’s NEW in v1.0.6:

🔦 Smart Highbeams: Trains can now "see" the dark! The AI automatically toggles headlights (Nixie Tubes or Redstone Lamps) at night or when entering unlit tunnels. No lamps on your train? The AI will project a dynamic light source ahead of the locomotive!

🎯 Precision Docking (Soft Stop): No more crashing into buffer stops! We've implemented a custom smoothStep braking algorithm. Trains will now gracefully decelerate when approaching a track end, stopping exactly 0.5 blocks away. Perfect for terminal stations!

📲 Remote Summoning System: Your train is now your personal taxi. Use the /railwayai summon <train_id> command, and the nearest train will autonomously calculate a path and arrive at your current station immediately.

⚙️ Under the Hood:

Lighting Optimization: Dynamic light updates every 2 ticks for maximum smoothness.

Braking Physics: New configurable deceleration profiles in railway-common.toml.

Server Security: Summon command requires Permission Level 2 to prevent spam.

✅ Why Update? v1.0.6 turns your rail network into a modern autonomous metro system. This is our most advanced technological leap yet!

🚂 Railway Evolution v1.0.6 — Обновление «Автономный пилот»! 🤖💡 В версии v1.0.6 мы внедряем технологии будущего! Теперь ваши поезда не просто ездят по рельсам — они получили зрение, беспилотное управление и идеальную точность парковки. 1xCodeteam делает вашу железную дорогу полностью автономной.

✨ Что нового в версии 1.0.6:

🔦 Умные фары (Smart Highbeams): Поезда теперь «видят» темноту! ИИ автоматически включает прожекторы (Nixie Tubes или Redstone Lamps) ночью или при въезде в неосвещенные туннели. Если на поезде нет ламп, ИИ создаст динамический источник света перед составом!

🎯 Прецизионная парковка (Precision Docking): Забудьте об ударах о барьеры! Мы внедрили алгоритм мягкого торможения smoothStep. Поезд плавно снижает скорость при приближении к тупику и останавливается ровно в 0.5 блока от конца пути. Идеально для тупиковых станций!

📲 Система удаленного вызова (Remote Summon): Теперь поезд — это ваше персональное такси. Используйте команду /railwayai summon <ID_поезда>, и ближайший свободный состав автоматически составит маршрут и прибудет к вашей станции в режиме CRUISING.

⚙️ Технические улучшения:

Оптимизация освещения: Динамический свет обновляется каждые 2 тика для максимальной плавности.

Физика торможения: Новые конфиги для настройки дистанции замедления в railway-common.toml.

✅ Зачем обновлять? v1.0.6 превращает вашу сеть в современный беспилотный метрополитен. Это самый технологичный апдейт на сегодняшний день!

🚂 Railway Evolution v1.0.5 — The Smart Station Update! 🚀🛰️ Railway Evolution v1.0.5 is officially here! We've moved beyond simple logistics to create a truly "living" railway. While v1.0.4 brought speed control and priorities, v1.0.5 focuses on how your trains interact with YOU and the STATIONS.

✨ What’s NEW in v1.0.5:

📢 Intelligent Station Greeting: Your trains are now more communicative! Using advanced proximity scanning, the AI detects a station ahead and triggers two short warning whistles. A realistic two-tone whistle effect ensures you'll never miss an arrival!

⏳ Intelligent Boarding & Passenger Wait: No more trains departing right in front of your face! If the AI detects a player moving toward the train (within a 5-block radius), it will automatically delay departure until you board or stop. Your trains now wait for you like a real conductor would!

📺 Display Link Integration (API): Full compatibility with Create's Display Links! You can now output real-time train statuses to your information boards:

New Statuses: "Status: Boarding", "Approaching: [Station Name]", "At Station".

Your railway network now feels like a professional transport hub.

⚙️ Under the Hood (Fixes):

Refactored AI: Moved station logic to a dedicated StationManager for better performance.

Safety Timer: Added maxBoardingDelayTicks (default 10s) to prevent trains from waiting forever for AFK players.

New Config: Fine-tune detection ranges and boarding logic in railway-common.toml.

✅ Why Update? If you want your railway to feel professional, responsive, and truly "Smart," v1.0.5 is a mandatory upgrade. Your trains are now more than just moving blocks—they are your smart assistants.
