Hello minecraft community! Today i present you my latest redstone creation!
It's a working minecraft subway system made with command blocks using the new /clone command.
The original idea came from Sethbling's Santa's Sleigh video, but with this new command, I simplified and made a cool-looking subway system without the need of minecarts as the train!
How does it work? (click on the images to enlarge them)
[This explanation is outdated! I updated and simplified the redstone to work in the latest version]
Train model
First the train model was placed near the spawn chunk to keep it loaded for the clone command. It's also separated in 4 parts: the left/right model and the positive/negative X (Teleport command) middle module. Notice that it has redstone blocks to activate the TP command blocks as soon as the model is cloned.
Rail module
The rail uses the testfor command to detect the minecart's position and also it's direction (using the game's scoreboard mechanism to specify the direction). Then it clones the train model. In some specific spots, the rail has a "setblock redstone_block" to activate the stations.
Stations
As soon as the "setblock redstone_block" command block is activated, the station "kill" the minecarts, open the doors with a /clone and also start a timer. When the timer ends, it summons and sets the minecart's direction. It also summons a "Reset" minecart after a short delay to clean the testfor outputs while the train is moving.
I've worked several weeks in this project.. If you wish to create your own vehicle (yes, you can create any moving vehicle with this system!) based on this mechanism, please give me some credit! =P
Important: This redstone device may consume a lot of your computer/server memory also it won't work in unloaded chunks. You may need to leave an AFK player inside it or use chunk loaders (world anchors).
Sweet! Being a big fan of trains, I love this! I've actually thought of doing a steam locomotive actually chuffing with the smoke, sound, and pistons and rods moving.

I was actually working in a steam train using the same concept and the particles/playsound commands, but it seems that the train goes much slower in an open area (as the game needs to render the terrain as well, it needs more time for the clone command work...)
Guys, is this in a snapshot? if so, Gsn28 plz guive us a snapshot version as it won't work in all snaps!p.s. it doesn't work for me ether! i want it to tho! it look cool.
Edit: dw it DOESN'T require snapshot! go to these coords: 34 56 -37 then there is - under the buffers - a trapdoor. here is it! tyhere is a lever saying (activate the train!) that's the one u want.
I don't remeber which snapshot i was using... It was the one which the the minecart's speed would be changed...
Also, i forgot to tell about that lever... xD Sorry about that
Glad you found that out..
Cool I seen the vid I'm gonna download the map I might put it on a server how long is the train system? And will it work on a multiplayer server and would it be easy to expand it to make it longer

I'm not sure how long this thing is, but it's pretty easy to adjust it's size. It works in multiplayer as well. I sugest you to see the Tram System that i made (in my youtube channel) It's pretty much a simplified version of this subway.

Lol, I just made a one way trolley for an adventure map. Uses four command blocks (well, two, but the other two are for the front levers to operate the "engine" in the back).
We should make robots that can pathfind or follow players. Maybe an autonomous car that drives you to coordinates you input.
Dude great job man, I made a cool minecraft rail system too, but can I ask you should I voice my redstone videos or should I just use like slides with words on them and techno music like you did, which will get me more views when posting mini games and subways?

I usually find voiced videos better. I don't record my voice because i'm too lazy to do it xD
Real subway w/ command blocks!

Haha Post here if you make one '-'
Figured it was time for a change.
I was actually working in a steam train using the same concept and the particles/playsound commands, but it seems that the train goes much slower in an open area (as the game needs to render the terrain as well, it needs more time for the clone command work...)

I had the same problem. Go under the railway and flip the switches. This is how I got it to work.
I'm not sure how long this thing is, but it's pretty easy to adjust it's size. It works in multiplayer as well. I sugest you to see the Tram System that i made (in my youtube channel) It's pretty much a simplified version of this subway.
Sorry for the lat answer... '-'
O_O;
If I had the full version, I could turn your train into one command. but, of course, I don't have one.
