The plugin registers five tools under Blockbench's Tools menu. Each page explains what the tool does
and the purpose of every button and field.
| Tool | Entry | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Generate Example Rail | Tools → Generate Example Rail |
Drop an example rail box into the current workspace (sized after test_rail.bbmodel) |
| Generate Example Tie | Tools → Generate Example Tie |
Drop an example tie box into the current workspace (sized after test_tie.bbmodel) |
| Generate Create Tracks | Tools → Generate Create Tracks |
One-page config of the three parts + gauge/height/offset; generates all 11 track shapes into a new workspace |
| Track Gauge Converter | Tools → Track Gauge Converter |
Linked inch / mm / px conversion + the Create curve scale constant |
| Export Track Models | Tools → Export Track Models |
Export the current workspace's track group in 4 modes + blockstates + textures (free-model workspace: OBJ only) |
- Each tool is cleaned up automatically on plugin unload.
- Generation tools (Generate Create Tracks, Example Rail/Tie) modify the workspace and can be undone; the converter and export change nothing in it (export only writes files to disk).
- Generation and export have prerequisites on the current workspace (see each page).
