+====== Getting Started ======
-# Getting Started
+The 3.0 release of //Minecraft Transit Railway// has reimagined the concept of Minecraft train systems. Rather than using the traditional [[https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecart|minecart]], a central dashboard system controls where trains are at all times. Lagging entities, inactive trains inside unloaded chunks, and overloaded servers are now problems of the past.

 Trains are no longer entities or "retextured minecarts". Instead, they are part of the world data, with each train's position simulated on every server tick. This avoids a lot of unnecessary entity position, velocity, and collision calculations, and can move trains even outside of currently loaded chunks. This also means that train-spawning items no longer exist, as trains now run according to user-created schedules. As of version 3.0.0-beta-5 of the mod, trains no longer use vanilla Minecraft rails.
