🚉 Survival-friendly, configurable transit tickets and ticket gates for Create train networks.

🚆 About

Create: Transit Tickets adds reusable ticket blueprints, issued transit tickets, and working ticket gates for public transportation systems built with the Create mod.

Ticket blueprints are configured through an in-game menu—commands are no longer required for normal use. A blueprint stores a custom name, usage type, and transit service.

🎫 Single Use tickets allow one gate passage.
🔢 Multiple Use tickets allow a configurable number of passages.
⏳ Limited Time tickets remain valid for a configurable duration.
♾️ Unlimited Time tickets never expire.

Tickets can use the Local, Semi-Fast, or Express service. Operators can configure each gate to accept any service or require one specific service.

The Blank Ticket, Ticket Blueprint, Transit Ticket, and Ticket Gate use Create-style tooltips. Hold Shift while hovering to see their summaries and usage instructions.

✨ Current Version Highlights

The current 0.1.1-beta development version includes:

📝 An in-game Ticket Blueprint configuration menu with name, type, service, passage, and duration controls.
🎫 Single Use, Multiple Use, Limited Time, and Unlimited Time ticket types.
🚉 Local, Semi-Fast, and Express ticket services.
🔧 Per-gate service requirements configured by operators with Create's Wrench.
📦 Operator-only wrench dismantling that returns the Ticket Gate item.
🚶 Gates that close after a player passes through or after a hard five-second timeout.
🛡️ Server-validated configuration packets for blueprints and gates.
📖 Create-style Shift summaries for every ticket item and the Ticket Gate.

🎫 Ticket Workflow

📄 Blank Ticket → 📝 Ticket Blueprint → 🎟️ Transit Ticket → 🚧 Ticket Gate

Craft a Blank Ticket.
Craft a Ticket Blueprint.
Hold and use the blueprint without a blank ticket to open its configuration menu.
Choose its name, ticket type, and service, then select Done.
Hold the configured blueprint and a blank ticket in opposite hands.
Use the blueprint to issue a Transit Ticket. One blank ticket is consumed in Survival mode; the blueprint is reusable.
Hold the issued ticket and use it on a compatible Ticket Gate to enter.

📄 Blank Ticket

The material consumed when a ticket is issued.
Contains no validity or expiration data by itself.
Two sheets of paper craft four blank tickets.
Hold Shift while hovering to display its Create-style summary.

📝 Ticket Blueprint

A reusable template that issues tickets.
Right-click it without a Blank Ticket in the other hand to open its configuration menu.
Stores the ticket name, usage type, service, and any required passage or duration value.
The service selector supports Local, Semi-Fast, and Express.
Multiple Use displays a passage-count field.
Limited Time displays a duration field. Supported suffixes are t (ticks), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), and d (Minecraft days).
One second equals 20 ticks, and one Minecraft day equals 24,000 ticks.
Single Use and Unlimited Time require no additional value.
Hold Shift while hovering to display its Create-style summary and usage instructions.

🎟️ Transit Ticket

Uses the name configured on its blueprint.
Retains the type and service configured on its blueprint.
A Limited Time ticket stores its issue time, duration, and expiration time using the world's game time.
Single Use and Multiple Use tickets store their original and remaining passage counts.
An Unlimited Time ticket does not expire.
Clearly displays Valid, Expired, or Used Up in the tooltip.
Hold Shift while hovering to display its Create-style summary.

💻 Blueprint Commands (Optional)

The in-game blueprint menu is the recommended configuration method. Legacy helper commands remain available to Creative players and command sources with permission level 2 or higher.

Command-created blueprints use the Local service and cover the legacy limited-time and passage-limited formats. Use the in-game menu for all four ticket types and all service choices.

⏳ Time-limited tickets

/transittickets blueprint <duration_ticks> [name]

duration_ticks must be at least 1. The optional name may contain spaces and is limited to 64 characters. If no name is supplied, the ticket is named Transit Ticket.

For example, a 30-minute ticket lasts 36,000 ticks:

/transittickets blueprint 36000 30 Minute Pass

Minecraft normally runs at 20 ticks per second. Ticket time advances with the world's game time and pauses when the world is not running.

🔢 Passage-limited tickets

/transittickets blueprint passages <count> [name]

count must be at least 1. Each successful validation at a ticket gate consumes one passage immediately.

Examples:

/transittickets blueprint passages 1 Single Ride
/transittickets blueprint passages 5 Five Ride Pass

🚧 Ticket Gate Behavior

Use the gate while holding an issued, valid Transit Ticket.
Gates accept Any Service by default.
An operator can right-click a placed gate with Create's Wrench to require Local, Semi-Fast, or Express service instead.
Gate configuration is restricted to operators with permission level 2 or higher.
An operator can sneak and right-click with Create's Wrench to dismantle the gate and drop its item.
A valid ticket plays an acceptance sound and opens the center barrier.
A valid ticket with the wrong service is rejected without consuming a passage.
Passage-limited tickets lose one passage as soon as the gate accepts them. At zero passages, the ticket becomes Used Up and cannot open another gate.
Limited Time tickets can open gates repeatedly until their world-time expiration. Unlimited Time tickets never expire.
The gate closes after the player passes through and leaves the gate block.
The gate always closes after 100 ticks (about five seconds), even if a player remains inside it.
An empty hand, an unissued ticket, an expired ticket, a used-up ticket, or any other item is rejected with a denial sound and an on-screen error message.
Hold Shift while hovering over the gate item to display its Create-style summary and wrench instructions.
