HyperLoop in Minecraft

Hyperloop (MC Edition)

Fast long distance travel.

I had this idea a while ago, what if Hyperloop was brought into the minecraft world?

The basic concept is that a pod travels at high speed through a vacuum tube.

You can build a loop system with the tubes, place down stations and add the pods.
At the moment it’s very WIP and doesn’t have many features, but I’m working on that.

###Why not just use teleportation?
Because it’s not very fun to just jump from A to B, riding the hyperloop is a more (kinda) realistic and enjoyable way to travel. Being a mode of transport, you could even add this to you server’s economy and charge for rides etc.

Here is a simple demo for 2 stations over a short distance.

Of course, it can go fast

It can also tilt

One problem I have is trying to make a realistic bend, at the moment it’s just right angles. Note that you can’t rotate blocks at angles unfortunately.

phroa suggested in IRC to use minecarts with blocks, which I will try.
