Realistic Traffic Control

# Realistic Traffic Control Realistic Traffic Control is a complete reimagining of the original **Traffic Control** mod by **CSX8600**, developed and maintained by **Gamearoo**. Built for both **Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge** and **Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge**, RTC introduces a more immersive and realistic system of traffic lights, railroad equipment, sensors, pedestrian signals, signs, message boards, and controllers—perfect for cities, roleplay, railroads, and transportation infrastructure. **This is not just an update—it’s a total overhaul.** ## Features * Redesigned from the ground up with new models and mechanics * Manual and automatic traffic light control systems * Functional sensors, timers, and pedestrian crossing logic * Railroad crossing equipment and train detection * Digital Signs and programmable Message Boards * Customizable through in-game GUIs and supported scripting integrations * Support for realistic behaviors such as flashing signals, directional timers, and automated signal operation * Integration with supported computer mods for advanced automation * Minecraft 1.21.1 integration with **Create**, including detection of Create trains * **Create Ponders** on Minecraft 1.21.1 to help demonstrate RTC blocks, features, and setup in-game * **Power Grid support** on Minecraft 1.21.1, added in RTC 4.2.0 ## Supported Versions * **Minecraft 1.12.2 — Forge** * **Minecraft 1.21.1 — NeoForge** > **Minecraft 1.12.2 is now in maintenance support.** > > Going forward, the 1.12.2 version of RTC will no longer receive new feature additions. It will remain supported for **bug fixes and maintenance only**. > > New features, major additions, integrations, and continued feature development will be focused on **Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge**. > > This does not mean Minecraft 1.12.2 is being abandoned. Bugs may still be fixed, but its feature set will generally remain as-is. > **Version numbers and updates may differ between Minecraft versions.** > > Starting with **RTC 4.1.3**, updates are no longer guaranteed to release for both Minecraft versions at the same time. Version **4.1.3 was a Minecraft 1.21.1-only update**, and future updates may also be released only for 1.21.1. > > Because of this, the **1.12.2 and 1.21.1 versions of RTC may have different version numbers, fixes, and release schedules**. An update being released for Minecraft 1.21.1 does not necessarily mean that Minecraft 1.12.2 will receive the same update. > **Minecraft 1.21.1 is currently considered Beta.** > > The major RTC features and content are already available. Beta status reflects continued testing, bug fixing, polishing, and active development of the 1.21.1 version. > > The current target for the full Minecraft 1.21.1 release is **early 2027**. When 1.21.1 leaves Beta, RTC will move to **Version 5.0.0**. > > This timeframe is a target and may change depending on testing and development. ## Development RTC is actively maintained, with additional fixes, improvements, integrations, and features continuing to be developed for Minecraft 1.21.1. Recent development includes deeper integration with other mods such as **Create** and **Power Grid**, along with continued improvements to RTC's traffic, railroad, sign, and automation systems. The goal is to provide a flexible traffic and transportation system that works for everything from simple intersections to large-scale city and railroad projects. ## Credits Realistic Traffic Control is based on the original concept and work of **CSX8600**. Full credit for the original **Traffic Control** mod goes to them. ## Wiki & Setup Guides [Realistic Traffic Control Wiki](https://github.com/Gamearoo-s-Development/Realistic-Traffic-Control/wiki) ## Join the Community [Gamearoo’s Development Discord](https://discord.gamearoo.dev/)
