MTR: Japan Ticket Mod

MJTM adds a realistic Japanese railway ticketing system to MTR, bringing authentic ticket purchasing, fare calculation, and station operations into Minecraft.

Instead of simply opening gates, players can buy tickets from ticket machines, use IC cards, pass through ticket gates, transfer between railway companies, purchase commuter passes, reserve seats, and travel using realistic Japanese fare systems.

MJTM is designed for both survival gameplay and large multiplayer railway servers, allowing operators to build fully functional railway networks with customizable fare tables, multiple railway companies, and realistic passenger experiences.

4. The gate closes

This simulates real Japanese entry gates.

Behavior

When a valid ticket is inserted:

1. The gate opens

Transfer Gate Setup

Transfer gates are used when changing from one railway service to another.

Setup

Configure:

Before Transfer

After Transfer

• Preset
• Line
• Station

In most cases the station name remains the same and only the operator or line changes.

• Major interchange hubs

Behavior

When a valid transfer ticket is inserted:

1. The transfer is validated
2. The ticket enters the gate
3. The ticket is returned
4. The gate behaves similarly to an entry gate

The transfer order must match the ticket's transfer data.

Ticket Machine Setup

MJTM uses a hierarchical structure:

Creating Stations

Stations are added inside a line.

When at least two stations exist, fare entries appear between them.

Click a fare entry to configure the fare.

These fares are used for:

• Ticket purchases
• IC card fare calculations
• Commuter pass calculations

Vehicle Configuration

Vehicles can be created inside a preset.

Each vehicle can be:

• Reserved Seat
• Non-Reserved Seat

Configure:
