Create Track Map (CTM) is a multi-loader mod that displays a track map of Create trains in your world, including all tracks, signals, stations, and trains. The signals and trains are updated in (practically) real time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
# Usage<\/p>\n
CTM is available for download on Modrinth. **Please make sure you download the correct version for your loader, Minecraft version, and Create version.** Below is the compatibility chart for Create versions:<\/p>\n
| | CTM \u22641.3 | CTM 1.4 | CTM \u22651.5 |
\n|:—|:–:|:–:|:–:|
\n| **Create 0.5.0** | \u2705 | \u2705 | \u274c |
\n| **Create 0.5.1** | \u274c | \u2705 | \u2705 |<\/p>\n
## Installation
\nSimply place the .jar file in your mods folder (or install with a modloader) like any other mod! CTM is intended to be a server side mod, but can also run in single-player worlds and LAN servers. It runs a web server on port `3876` by default, but [this can be configured](#configuration). You must forward this port if you wish to see the map. *(How do I do this?)* <\/p>\n
The map itself is visible at the root (by default `http:\/\/localhost:3876\/`). If using a proxy to serve the map, make sure to configure it to let Server-Sent Events through.<\/p>\n
### *Singleplayer*
\nThe map is hosted on your computer so while Minecraft is open, enter `http:\/\/localhost:3876\/` into your browser.<\/p>\n
### *Multiplayer*<\/p>\n
**A) Local (LAN) server**
\nThe map is still hosted on your computer so while the game is open, enter `http:\/\/localhost:3876\/` into your browser.
\nThose in your household can see the map by entering `http:\/\/[your computer’s IPV4 address]:3876\/` into their browser.
\n*How do I see my computer’s IPV4 address?*<\/p>\n
**B) The server is on my PC**
\nThe map is still hosted on your computer so while the server is open, enter `http:\/\/localhost:3876\/` into your browser.
\nThose in your household can see the map by entering `http:\/\/[your computer’s IPV4 address]:3876\/` into their browser.
\nThose outside your household can see the map by entering `http:\/\/[your public IPV4 address]:3876\/` into their browser.
\n*How do I see my public IPV4 address?*<\/p>\n
**C) The server is hosted with a hosting service**
\nThe map is hosted with the server on that service. You can see the map at `[your server address]:3876\/` while the server is up.
\n**NOTE: YOUR SERVICE MUST SUPPORT EXTRA PORT FORWARDING.** You can check with support\/the docs for the service or just good old Google. If the service doesn’t support this, you are out of luck. You can switch services or try hosting your own.<\/p>\n
*Just so it’s clear: Do not include the brackets around your IPV4 address! For example: `192.168.0.0:3876`*<\/p>\n
## READ THIS BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP!<\/p>\n
To use this mod, **you must be able to open a second port**, in addition to your Minecraft server, which CTM will run its web server on. If you are using Aternos, this is not possible. If you are using a shared hosting provider, please contact your host for assistance in opening a port. No support will be provided to open a port or to diagnose issues which are not caused by a bug in the mod.<\/p>\n
# Advanced Usage<\/p>\n
### CTM API
\nCTM provides the following API, also accessible through the same port:<\/p>\n
– `\/api\/network`, `\/api\/network.rt`: List of all track pieces and train stations
\n– `\/api\/signals`, `\/api\/signals.rt`: List of all train signals, including their states
\n (green, yellow, red)
\n– `\/api\/blocks`, `\/api\/blocks.rt`: List of all signal control blocks, and whether they are occupied or reserved by a train
\n– `\/api\/trains`, `\/api\/trains.rt`: List of all assembled trains, including their names and
\n positions
\n– `\/api\/style.css`: CSS style sheet generated from configured colors and fonts
\n– `\/api\/config.json`: Map configuration<\/p>\n
The `.rt` versions update in real time with Server-Sent Events (SSE).<\/p>\n
### Configuration<\/p>\n
CTM’s config options can be found at `create-track-map.json` in your server’s config directory. It is automatically created at startup if it doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n
The following options are available:<\/p>\n
